Welcome. My name is Ray W. Rowney, Jr., author of License to Steal. I’m so happy to have you as a visitor to my blog about my book.
I’m using this blog to expand on some of its topics using current day issues, in the hope that together we can stop the declining values in America.
How misleading and deceiving that many Americans are being told they must choose between science and God. A little open-minded, unbiased study will quickly reveal that the two are quite compatible, a part of God’s perfect plan for creation. An evolution theory that starts from nothing and proceeds to everything is totally illogical with no factual, fossil support. On the other hand, an evolving, ever-expanding, human knowledge accumulation of facts related to the workings of all God’s creations, enables continuing…..
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). The single, most important lesson I have learned in life is that Almighty God (as documented in the Bible) is both Creator and ultimate Judge of all things, whether obscure individuals or mighty nations. As I watch America’s transformation from God’s values to human values, with the erroneous Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage the most defying example, I am…..
A wonderful opportunity was lost in the Pope’s once-in-a-lifetime address to Congress. As a man of God and the top Catholic spokesman throughout the world, who better to stress the importance of God’s recognition in US Schools, public places, our daily lives – that all might know Him. America’s high divorce rate, escalating out-of-wedlock babies, abortions on demand, same sex marriages, senseless killings even in schools and churches all began following removal of God and prayers from our public schools…..
Our Founders wisely recognized the fallacy of human leadership, whether a monarch by birth or a dictator by power, and instead chose to become a nation ruled “by law”. The sanctity of US laws was to be protected by 1)our Constitution, which separated governing powers between three distinct human groups, and 2) the Bible, to set forth God’s overall legal guidance. No human laws were of any validity if contrary to the Holy Scriptures (the Bible). In 1930 US Law…..
Sadly, at home and abroad America is no longer viewed as a leader in promoting righteousness and individual freedoms, independence. Instead, President Obama and Secretary Kerry have signed an Iranian Agreement (without first securing the approval of Congress as the President had just agreed), which is nothing more than appeasement and political spin, with unannounced issues being revealed daily. The approval of this badly flawed, one-sided Iranian Agreement is truly a life and death issue for America, Israel, and the…..
Recently in Alaska, President Obama again warned of climate change, I believe to divert attention from his suicidal Iran Agreement. My initial reaction was “How sad that ‘politics’ is given more attention than the security of America, Israel, and the rest of the World.” Rather than being concerned over acts of nature for which there are conflicting interpretations, I believe the wise have a much greater alternative fear – the source of all natural disasters. God, Creator of all things,…..
I was moved to respond to an article in The Greeneville Sun, appearing January 10, 2015, entitled “President Outlines Free College Plan in Knoxville”. As justification the President stated “…a quality education cannot be a privilege that is reserved for a few. I think it’s a right for everybody who’s willing to work for it.”
I believe the President and I define differently “a quality education” and “willing to work for it”. Based on my 76 years of life, the…..
