Letter: We need more Biblical knowledge

Tulsa Beacon

Randy Bright’s opinion article in Nov. 29, 2018 Tulsa Beacon addresses a topic I too have thought about often over the years. “Corporate biblical knowledge is at risk.”  I often read Walker Moore’s column since he focuses on his family often telling autobiographical non-fiction stories.  Years ago one of my sons went on a couple…

Letter: America needs to fund the wall

Tulsa Beacon

The picture of thousands of invaders trying to forcefully get into America is frightful.  Especially to those living along the border with Mexico.  For years, many have had their homes invaded, by much smaller groups than the present-day caravans.  Caravan of immigrants invading America is a new type of threat to this country.   The Liberal’s…

Editorial: It’s time to repeal Roe v. Wade

Tulsa Beacon

The Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and allies want the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion. According to a brief filed November 15, the Supreme Court could review a lower court ruling that banned discrimination against certain classes of unborn children according to sex, race,…

Editorial: Tulsans helped the less fortunate

Tulsa Beacon

Tulsans are very generous. Every year, John 3:16 Mission makes a special effort to brighten the holiday for the less fortunate around us. This year, the Rev. Steve Whitaker, senior pastor and CEO of John 3:16 Mission, said the goal was to have 4,000 frozen turkeys to accompany sacks of groceries for a family of…

Editorial: Free speech and homosexuality

Tulsa Beacon

Homosexual advocates are becoming more insistent that everyone think and act the way they do and nowhere is that more evident than on most college campuses. At Shawnee State University in Ohio, Professor Nicholas Meriwether had a student who is a man but who wants to be known as a woman. He insisted the professor…

Letter: A Tribute to Daniel Keating

Tulsa Beacon

As a Summit Financial employee, I worked with Daniel Keating for the last 17 years as his secretary.  My first thought about Mr. Keating is he was a true gentleman in every way.  He was with Summit for 20-plus years and was dedicated to this company.  He shared the importance of having insurance with many…

Editorial: Common sense from Mike Gundy

Tulsa Beacon

If Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy ever wants to stop being a football coach, his next career could be as a philosopher. His recent comments about “liberalism” and “snowflakes” touched off criticism, including the ultra-liberal Washington Post.  When asked about football players who transfer to another college because they don’t get to play as much as…

Editorial: Disguising your core principles

Tulsa Beacon

Mayor G.T. Bynum wants to do away with “partisan politics.” It’s just too divisive in his view. Maybe he should register as an Independent instead of a Republican so that the Republicans who voted for him would know more about where he stands. “In Tulsa, people still matter more than partisanship,” Bynum said. That sounds…

Editorial: Girl Scouts suing the Boy Scouts

Tulsa Beacon

The Girl Scouts of the United States of America are mad at the Boy Scouts of America. The BSA, in a move to be more “gender friendly,” have dropped “Boy” from their name and now go by “Scouts of America.” This was an effort to get girls to join what used to be the Boy…

Editorial: How to dump activist judges

Tulsa Beacon

How can Oklahomans fix the liberal Oklahoma Supreme Court so that the justices make rulings base on law instead of politics? Most of those justices – particularly those appointed by liberal governors – have stymied legitimate laws, which were overwhelmingly passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor. A case in point is the…
