Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Yesterday morning I saw the full video of Iryna Zarutska’s murder on the Charlotte train for the first time. Though not nearly as gruesome as I feared, it was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever seen. The vicious man stabbed her in the neck from behind three or four […]
Read More The Week the Music DiedBy Charlie Johnston “I come not to bring peace, but a sword.” – Matthew 10:34 We had a great National Conference. Bishop Strickland not only gave a great talk, but was there all three days interacting individually with people. We’ll give you a full rundown in our CORAC Newsletter at the end of the month. […]
Read More Comes the SwordBy Charlie Johnston It was late in the War of 1812, September 13, 1814, to be exact, just over three months before the war was formally ended. The British had unleashed a brutal attack of rockets and incendiary shells on Ft. McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. American patriots were fearful that Ft. McHenry – and perhaps […]
Read More By the Dawn’s Early LightBy Charlie Johnston I don’t think my sporadic bouts of illness have much to do with my health (though I am delighted to have most of my bodily systems booted back up after my recent bout with Covid). Rather, I think health issues are one of the leashes, prods, and canes God uses to direct […]
Read More It is Now Us in His Winnowing FanBy Charlie Johnston Dallas, Texas – Ever since the turn of the millennium, I have argued that the left (in politics, media, and culture) has been following the path of dehumanizing opponents that is always the forerunner of prison and death camps. Ironically, murderously unhinged movements are almost always fueled by a bizarre sense of […]
Read More While Christians SleptBy Charlie Johnston Houston, Texas – When I was a little boy, just after starting elementary school, I became a great admirer of President Kennedy. Every time he gave a speech on all the networks, I watched raptly. Of course, I had the mind of a child, so I did not always properly interpret what […]
Read More The Revolution Gathers ForceBy Charlie Johnston Willowbrook, Houston, Texas – Two millennia ago, on this day, the crowd in Jerusalem called for the release of Barabbas, a murderous bandit, rather than Jesus. Pontius Pilate, the governor, was stunned that the crowd’s hatred and malice could be so great that they would choose to free someone who routinely murdered […]
Read More Choose or PerishBy Charlie Johnston Shawnee, Kansas – As I have been saying for months now, the power of darkness has been broken. You might wonder, if that is so, why is there so much strife and fury sounding across the land? Simple: when sunlight bursts upon a coven of vampires there is a lot of shrieking, […]
Read More As the Walls Come Tumbling Down…By Charlie Johnston Thank you for all your prayers. Keep it going. Gabriel will be okay. He was at a neighbor’s house, playing. The neighbor has five kids. One of them is a special needs child. For some unfathomable reason, the family had a loaded rifle sitting unattended on a table. Gabriel was playing a […]
Read More All Will be Well and All Manner of Things Will be WellBy Charlie Johnston Laurel, Maryland – Monday and Tuesday of this week were challenging…and rewarding. On Monday I went to pray at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Solomon’s Island, Maryland. It sits right on a beautiful segment of the Chesapeake Bay. Turning left into the parking lot, I stupidly allowed myself to […]
