The Founders, the Creeds, and the Truth About the Divinity of Jesus
By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   |   12.23.25
Long before modern myths claimed Jesus’ divinity was invented centuries later, Christians openly confessed it—and America’s founders worshiped in that tradition.

By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   |   11.24.25

Humility—the Missing Ingredient
By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   |   06.13.25

Moral and Financial Bankruptcy

Language and the Battle Over Life
By Dr. Jerry Newcombe   |   02.08.25
52 years ago, seven out of nine robed men in Washington, D.C. banged the gavel and declared a death sentence upon what would turn out to be 65 million (and counting) human beings in America. I refer to the infamous Roe v. Wade SCOTUS decision of January 22, 1973. And they twisted plain language to usher in this death sentence.
