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.

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,…
