Editorial: Buttigieg blames Trump, not Iran

Tulsa Beacon

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is married to another man, is drawing massive criticism for suggesting that American (and  implicitly President Trump) is responsible for a civilian airliner shot down by mistake by the Iranian military. The Ukrainian passenger plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s airport on January 9 after being hit…

Editorial: Trump’s economy setting records

Tulsa Beacon

Actions speak louder than words. When America elected businessman Donald Trump as president in 2016, he promised prosperity. That prosperity is here for almost all Americans. Trump’s economy has a lower average unemployment rate than any president at a comparable point in office in recorded history. This month, Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the…

Letter: The United States is in a spiritual battle

Tulsa Beacon

The Washington Times reported Iran unfurled a blood-red flag above the dome of Jamarkaran Mosque in Qom, Iran the day after Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed by the U.S. missile strike in Baghdad. Some say this red flag was simply a sign of revenge, but others say it has a deeper meaning.  As the flag…

Letter: America must read the Bible

Tulsa Beacon

When people are in a relationship with God, they rely on God’s Word to make moral decisions. When a nation rejects God, then the people must look to other sources for rules and civil structure, otherwise anarchy will occur. When this happens, the citizens begin to view man-made government as a spiritual babysitter and they…

Editorial: Dems criticize death of Sleimani

Tulsa Beacon

God bless our military and the decisive action by President Trump to rid the world of Gen. Qassim Sleimani, a ruthless enemy of the United States and the killer of innocent citizens throughout the Middle East. Americans should stand up and cheer his demise. But that isn’t the case with some leading Democrats. The Oklahoma…

Editorial: Homosexuality splits Methodists

Tulsa Beacon

The split in the United Methodist Church is widening. A group of 16 bishops and some other leaders have written a document outlining “reconciliation through separation” to solve the problem created by America’s embrace of the Homosexual Agenda. The Methodists, the second largest protestant denomination in the country, have two schools of thought. The orthodox…

Editorial: More pot initiative petitions filed

Tulsa Beacon

The relentless march to legalize the recreational use of marijuana marches on. Pot advocates keep filing initiative petitions. Political gadfly Paul Tay of Tulsa filed State Question 808, which would guarantee the right of anyone to use cannabis without restraint. State Question 806 would provide more legal protection for businesses that sell pot and other…

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.

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…
