It is good, yet I have questions about his thoughts regarding "a well-informed and armed society" to fight & protect against lawlessness. Hmmm, where does Rom 13 fit with this? ra
wow - that is a helpful perspective!
Hey Ralph and Sharon! We have to talk some time again!
That response of Mr. Phillips sounds more like a rant to me: using a tragic event to advance his views doesn't seem appropriate. And I don't know what people mean when they write things like: "Our nation has broken covenant with the God of our fathers. We have forsaken the law of God and have worshipped before false idols."

Oops, this is Sharon here. I must confess, I read Phillips' response rather quickly, especially the ending -- and generally thought it was good, so I posted it. But when Ralph came home that night he asked if I was trying to ignite a storm of comments?!
But I left it on anyways. So, for the record, we don't agree with everything he says -- yes, America was never in covenant with God like Israel was, for example...
Good to see that people still read our blog! Hmm, now I know how to get some comments! ;)
Thanks Sharon - I think D Phillips is generally very perceptive and helpful. It's always a pleasure to read your blog. Keep it up. ra
Thanks for the encouragement!
