Political correctness is killing us. Read this story about the “chilling” confessions of the men responsible for the Mumbai murders, where 164 people were killed. Then, notice what is missing. There are words like “handlers” and “militants,” but there is never the slightest mention of Islam. I wonder, were these muslims? Did the 7 page... Continue Reading →
No Mob Veto
America is proud of her freedom, but freedom must always have its limits. California voters recently decided (again) that gays ought not be provided the same marital status as heterosexual couples. They are (or at least should be) free to determine such things. Since the passage of Proposition 8, Californians have been given a hard... Continue Reading →
Never Enough
Death is never satisfied. Paul says in Romans 3, "There feet are swift to shed blood..." It is, of course, true. Euthanasia is part of our culture which rejects the notion of death as the last enemy of Christ's to be done away with. Typically, we think of euthanasia as an "old person's" issue. But bloodthirsty... Continue Reading →
Absent from Mainstream Media
You will not see this story on the mainstream outlets, but it is fantastic. You will be encouraged. I had forgotten about the work going on at Angola. I used to read about it back home in Louisiana. I have an interest in prison ministry and used to do that in Louisiana. This story concerning... Continue Reading →
Justice and Freedom?
Tolerance and fairness have taken the place of freedom and justice in America. Tolerance and fairness are decided by those who wield power. Freedom and justice were Christian ideas based in the nature of God and in the judgment of God. Get rid of God, and you get rid of freedom and justice. If ever... Continue Reading →
The Side of Life
You simply must watch the story of Haleigh Poutre. I dare you to watch it without crying. I didn’t make it through. The story is so great in showing the will of a child to live. Of course, it has a much darker side in that her life has been robbed of so much because... Continue Reading →
Can There Be Such a Thing?
Apparently, the self-esteem movement worked. A 2006 survey of high school students demonstrates that they think very highly of themselves. Their self-esteem is very high--too high, in fact. Dr. Mohler writes about the dilemma in his blog. It is curious that we are supposed to make sure all have a high self-esteem. Yet, when we... Continue Reading →
Fervently From the Heart
Peter's epistle is astounding for what it says about the church. In 1 Peter 1:22, we read, "Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brothers, fervently love one another from the heart." My, what a long way our churches have fallen from this ideal! Purifying... Continue Reading →
Two Fine Ladies and a Good Man
I take this opportunity to give thanks to God for 2 fine ladies who have passed away and now, we trust, are in the presence of the Lord. Our church said an earthly good-bye to Mrs. Ruth Mann and Mrs. Almeda Redmon. Mrs. Mann taught in our Sunday School for decades. Mrs. Almeda faithfully served... Continue Reading →
Hopeless?
I have little hope in the benefits of Christian-Muslim dialogue, particularly if such dialogue means a pontifical council and a bunch of Imams discussing how Christians can speak more sensitively so as not to provoke more rioting. Good grief! Read this article and listen to what it is saying. The writer says, “Two years ago, Catholic-Muslim... Continue Reading →
Green Diapers
Green diapers sound disgusting, don't they? Some of us have actually seen green diapers, along with many other diapers of varying hues in green and gold. However, the article I have linked here is not disgusting as much as it is dishonest. It exposes the hypocrisy of Green ethics. If we thought God’s commands... Continue Reading →
Election Summary for the Christian
Many people believe that race has hung as an albatross over the neck of American politics since the Civil War. If electing Barack Obama to the presidency can remove that burden from us, so be it. I am glad to have it gone. However, I cannot personally be pleased about the results of last night’s... Continue Reading →
Reformation Rap
Happy Reformation Day to all. Our church had a fantastic Reformation Fest, including coverage from the Louisville Courier Journal. Anyway, to celebrate Reformation Day, click on this link for the 95 Theses Rap.
Smith and Wolf Good Job
Two Republican congressmen have done the right thing in calling for Secretary of State Rice to take action against the mistreatment of Christians in China. Particularly in view here is Pastor Bike's family. China Aid Association documents the matter on their website. It is worth checking out and voicing your support. With all the political...

Ridiculous
A liberal Christian group going by the name of Matthew 25 has set up a website to convince people that Obama is the more pro-life candidate between the two major contenders. It would be laughable, except that it is devilishly deceptive and destructive. I do not recommend going to their site, as it would give... Continue Reading →
