Everybody's supposed to be tolerant nowadays. That is code language, of course, for giving full approval to homosexuality. When it comes to gays and lesbians, tolerance takes a different turn, as this episode so colorfully illustrates. Obama has angered gays and lesbians by inviting Rick Warren to offer a prayer at the inauguration. All the... Continue Reading →
New Law Against Slavery
I am attempting to scoop my buddy, Dr. Mooney, over at SoCal Theologica with this story. He has been an active opponent of human slave trading. So far, he has not posted on this exciting development. Congress has just passed a new law against human slavery in the U.S. This law has implications for sex... Continue Reading →
Islam, India, and Irresponsibility
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 →
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 →
(Passing) Gas Tax
Here is the story from Alabama: Cows pass gas. No surprises there. What is surprising is that democrats in Washington are now trying to pass a tax on the gas which is passed. Only a liberal democrat could conceive of a passed gas tax. Of course, as this story indicates, it is not called a... 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 →
Forced Abortions
Not much has changed in China. Sure, they have adopted a capitalist economic system--sort of; (it's still under communist control). At heart, however, the nation is still communist, which means it is still ungodly in its view of human life. This story, which is not worth mentioning in U.S. news outlets, speaks of the horrors...

Hah! I Told You So
One of the things I have tried to keep folks informed about is the terrible new ethic on our horizon; it is more pronounced in Europe than it is here, but even in America the green ethic is alive and well. Not only is it terribly oppressive--outlawing such innocuous behaviors as drinking Dasani from a... Continue Reading →
Green Church Red Hot Lie
There is a transcript of Chris Horner's interview on Hannity and Colmes. It has great fodder against the global warming green ethic. It is worth reading and--if you can get the video to work--watching. Here is the link for you.
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 →
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 →
Voting for Piper
No, not John Piper, although he is worthy of our support as a great man of God. Today, my mind is on Piper Palin. Maybe if we all remember that sweet little girl licking her hand to fix baby Trig's wayward hair at the Republican convention we will be a bit more cheerful today and... Continue Reading →
Is Obama OK?
There is a common line going around that it is OK for pro-life people to vote for Obama (even though he favors taxpayer funded abortion on demand and has even been in favor of allowing infanticide). The reason some say it is ok is that they figure abortion is just one of several important life... Continue Reading →
Pocketbook Politics
You probably know that I don’t think it is good to vote based on how it affects your pocketbook. At least, that isn’t the first priority. But there is a case in California that has Christians and conservatives actually voting with their pocketbooks. Read about it here...
