Meet the Candidates Forums
November 2, 2021 is fast approaching. I host a weekly hour on the local radio station, Newsradio 1310 KLIX, called Pastors’ Round Table with pastor “Bear” Morton of Magic Valley Bible Church and pastor Christopher Folkerts of New Covenant United Reformed Church. We are pleased to host “Meet the Candidates” forms again this year. Everyone…
Unprincipled Scruples
The unprincipled scruples of the nation have grown to Biblical proportions. I read about two bills that passed the U.S. House of Representatives today (09/24/2021). One is a defense spending bill that was easily passed and with sweeping support from both Republican and Democrat parties. Even with Idaho Representative, Mike Simpson’s support. The other bill…
Abolish Abortion Resolution
Read and Sign (at the bottom of this post) the Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Convention Resolution submission on the abolition of abortion. Share this resolution with others. (Email to friends. Share on social media. Or print and share with friends and return to Paul Thompson by October 29, 2021.) Pray that God would liberate our states…
Support for Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Resolution on Abolishing Abortion
The following is a “mostly ready for print” resolution I intend to submit for consideration of the messengers of the Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Convention on the subject of abolishing abortion. I’m looking for co-signers. If you are, or know someone who is, a pastor or member of a Southern Baptist Church in the Utah/Idaho Southern…

I was a much younger pastor…
Unprotected Babies
Scheduled to be published in the Twin Falls Times-News Faith Corner soon. ———————————————– What if an enemy of the city of Twin Falls wanted to fly their flag at City Hall? This past week in the city of Twin Falls, Idaho five babies were stopped from having a live birth. While that happened, hardly anyone…
Understanding the Nature of Misinterpretation
Guest post from Mark King After reading the newspaper article by the local Methodist pastor, I wanted to write a rebuttal that could be added into the editorial section. It was to be an effort to counter the blatant misinterpretation of God’s Word. Thankfully, I remembered that for those outside the grace of God, His…
The Gay Agenda is An Agenda After All
On July 3, 2021, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus released the song “A Message from the Gay Community.” By Wednesday afternoon, July 7, 2021, the video had been scrubbed from their Youtube and Facebook pages because of the negative response from the public after a few sites like www.notthebee.com and others began to circulate…
Grade School Math Did Not Prepare Me for This Unpredictable Day
Remember when grade school math moved from simple, 1+1=2, to word problems like this? “If I have four cookies and you take two of them, how many cookies do I have?” Other than my first issue of you suggesting you are taking some of my cookies I would still want more information before I could…
