Letter: Chick-fil-A’s compromised Christianity

Tulsa Beacon

The third largest fast food restaurant chain in America won the respect and loyalty of millions of Christians and non-Christians alike due to their unwavering devotion to the principles of its founder Truett Cathy, who passed away in 2014. The Christian world was shocked when it learned that the stand-out Christian business had succumbed to…

Letter: Weep for babies

Tulsa Beacon

All the world is saddened by the news reports that wildfires in Australia have killed over 500,000 animals.  People worldwide are outraged and have joined together to raise money and provide shelter and care for the animals that survived this horrendous event. And yet, the people of this world are eerily silent about the 1.5…

Editorial: Evangelicals support the President

Tulsa Beacon

In December, Mark Galli, editor of Christianity Today, called for the impeachment and removal of President Trump. It would be incorrect to think that Galli or his magazine speaks for Evangelical Christianity. Christianity Today is a watered-down ecumenical publication that unlike the Bible, accepts all winds of doctrine and misinterpretation. Galli wrote that Trump is…

Editorial: Gambling a blight on Oklahoma

Tulsa Beacon

Even though the gambling compact between the State of Oklahoma and the tribal governments expired on January 1, 2020, the tribes continued with their normal gambling operations despite efforts by Gov. Kevin Stitt to sit down and renegotiate. Stitt even offered an eight-month extension so that both sides could find a suitable solution. The tribes…

Editorial: A new police chief for Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

Tulsa is looking for a new police chief. This is a difficult job that involves a lot more politics than it used to. Police these days have to deal with video cameras, protesters, charges of racism, surprise attacks, terrorism and liberal judges. Tulsa police operate in a civilian culture now that winks at marijuana usage,…

Letter: A message to Christianity Today

Tulsa Beacon

To: Christianity Today Magazine, Attn: Editor Mark Galli and President Timothy Dalrymple Thank you for exposing your personal feelings about President Trump.  Fortunately, we do not share your condemnation of President Trump.  And while I cannot speak for the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2016, I strongly suspect they too do not…

Editorial: America’s challenges in 2020

Tulsa Beacon

As America enters the year 2020, we are sharply divided. The Democrat leaders in the U.S. Congress want to nullify the 2016 presidential election and remove President Trump from office. In Oklahoma, the tribes and the news media want to continue 15 years of massive gambling operations while Gov. Kevin Stitt wants to renegotiate. In…

Editorial: Congrats to OU, OSU and Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

Congratulations to Coach Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma football team for winning the Big 12 Championship and advancing to the College Football Playoff to play LSU on December 28. It is a credit to the university and an honor for the state to have such an excellent sports program. OU lost to LSU in 2003…

Letter: Dems’ vote was a vote against the people

Tulsa Beacon

The December 18th impeachment vote by the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, was a vote against the 63 million American citizens who elected Donald Trump in 2016.  The Democrat Party and Washington-Insiders (the swamp), all believe they are smarter than you.  You were supposed to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016, so she could continue the…

Letter: Do as Texas Does

Tulsa Beacon

I’m a football fan, especially of college and high; school teams. On the weekend of December 20-21, several Texas high school championships games (for different sized schools) were on TV (Cox, Channel 1027). I always look forward to this extravaganza! Over the years I’ve seen Adrian Peterson, Vince Yong, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murry and many…
