Fatima's story is a good one; it is filled with hope. However, her story opens a window through which we might see the awful story of human slave trading which is thriving in some parts of the world. At 14, Fatima was deposited into the sexual slavery machine... (Keep Reading)
Imagine This Scenario
I am linking here a letter that a wife has written on behalf of her husband. Her husband has been in prison for 14 months. Since last May, neither she nor her son has had any interaction with the imprisoned dad. The Chinese authorities have kept this man locked up and isolated for 14 months. ... Continue Reading →
Courage Over Cowardice
Out of fear, Communists (and Socialists) must control you. They cannot allow your freedom to threaten their “good” plans for you. A very brave Le Thi Cong Nhan risked her life to speak freely of her faith in Christ. For that courage, she has been put into prison in Communist Vietnam. She has been in... Continue Reading →
God or Government
We typically ask about the relationship between God and government. It may be that the issue is God or government. As it turns out, the more dependent people become on the government, the more ungodly they become. To put the matter another way, faith in government diminishes faith in God. A recent article spells out... Continue Reading →
The Apple and the Floodgate
Wesley J. Smith asserts that the Obama move on funding embryonic stem cells is akin to taking another bite from the forbidden fruit. Indeed, he interacts extensively with an article from the New York Times which he believes cries out for a further devouring of forbidden and foreboding fruits of destruction. (See here) Dr. R....

Rush to Ignorance
Chris Matthews is doing his part to push America further down the road of ignorance. His rantings against Rush Limbaugh for being a classless, hate-monger ought to fall largely on deaf ears. I can see no way a thinking person can take Chris Matthews seriously. He calls Rush outrageous, but then he refers to those speaking against... Continue Reading →
It’s Good for Young Women to Be Beaten
Sharia law spreads as Islam increases. In Europe, the call for Sharia is increasing. The pressure to accept Islam has now forced an Italian judge to rule that it was ok for a father, brother, and mother to beat a young woman. The judge ruled that it was "for her own good" to be beaten... Continue Reading →
Justice
When murder is committed, the person responsible is a murderer. Murderers ought to be sentenced to death. When one takes a life, he gives his own in return to demonstrate that human life is of such a high value that life is the only penalty for life. Human beings are created in the image of God. ...

Philosophy and Science
I have linked a blog post here which is fascinating on a number of levels. It concerns philosophy and, granted, has some difficult, abstract concepts imbedded in it. However, on a more substantial level, the blog post exposes a growing recognition that Christian theism provides a strong framework for science. Science has become secularized and...

China Outcry
China Aid Association held a press conference at 11 this morning in order to protest the Obama administration's lack of concern for human rights violations in China. On her recent trip to China, Hillary Clinton refused to meet with groups in China who allege human rights violations. She maintains that such human rights violations would... Continue Reading →
Ditto
I have made the comment many times before that it is irrelevant whether or not most muslims are "peaceful." The truth of the matter is that Islam today is defined as the non-peaceful type. Militant Islam rules the day. An article today at National Post makes the case more fully, arguing that the "zeitgeist" of... Continue Reading →
Significance of Wilders
Yesterday, I posted on the significance of Geert Wilders. If you haven't seen that blog, check it out because it links to a prior blog which speaks of how important this case is for all of us who value free speech. Today, there is another great article concerning this story. I have it linked here... Continue Reading →
Geert Wilders Again
I posted a warning on my blog not too long ago, telling you to pay attention to Geert Wilders. His story is portentous. It is a warning signal to us all about the direction our “tolerance” is taking us. Tolerance is taking us to a loss of freedom. Geert Wilders is no longer allowed in... Continue Reading →

You Don’t Say
Guess what? "Islamic Nations Dominate the '09 Persecution List." You don’t say? Is anybody surprised by this? Every Islamic nation on the planet persecutes Christians to one degree or another. Notice also the presence of the Communist nation at #1. See the list here.
