Perhaps you remember the recent case in Saudi Arabia where a woman who was raped repeatedly and beaten by Muslim men was convicted and punished for being in a car with a man. Well, along those same lines, we now have another case of Muslim justice being carried out. This time, the situation is Sudan,... Continue Reading →
18 Months for Free Speech
Imagine you have a burden for Muslim people; so, you write them a letter about Jesus Christ in which you plead with them to turn to him for grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Then, you decide to take the letter to a Muslim area like Detroit or Dearborn. You will probably be a bit scared about... Continue Reading →
Huck’s Latest Moves
Evangelicals are having a difficult time deciding, apparently. For the life of me, I cannot understand, at this point in the race, why any evangelical would endorse Rudy or Mitt. The one is clearly not pro-life, family, or marriage, the other seems unsure. Is it really just a pragmatic decision for evangelicals? Are there no... Continue Reading →
Thanks
Psalm 9 says, “I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Thy wonders. I will be glad and exult in Thee.” Immediately my mind raced with through hundreds of blessings for which I have never given thanks to God. For example, I am planning a trip from... Continue Reading →
Correction on Olympics
There was a miscommunication about what the Chinese will allow at the Olympic games in 2008. The correction (see prior post) adds the following comment about Bibles at the '08 Olympics: The International Olympic Committee and the Beijing Organizing Committee have confirmed that bibles and other religious material will be permitted in the Athletes Village...

Bible Ban in Beijing
According to this article, Bibles will not be allowed in Beijing at the 2008 Olympics. Apparently, Bibles are a grave security risk. Communists—always capable of snuffing out security risks—have apparently gained confidence now that the Olympics are drawing very near; so they are beginning more and more to show their true color [Red]. Beyond Bibles,... Continue Reading →
Bluegrass Politics
Our Kentucky governor’s seat is in jeopardy tomorrow as election day draws near. I received a call from none other than Pat Boone over the weekend asking me to vote for Ernie Fletcher because Fletcher’s opponent has been endorsed by a prominent gay rights group. Today, I heard another ad from an African American group... Continue Reading →
Huck’s Building Momentum
This morning on ABC, Mike Huckabee was interviewed concerning his building momentum in his bid for president. A few conservatives have spoken against him, but specific allegations have been lacking. The two quotes against him on ABC were by Phyllis Schlafley and Betsy Hagan, each of the Eagle Forum. His response to them was to acknowledge... Continue Reading →
The Strength of Wit
There is a strength in wit which knowledge alone cannot match. I find this strength in Mike Huckabee. Reagan had it, too, thus earning him the title “Teflon President,” because it seemed that no charges would ever stick against him. Having a quick wit, Reagan was always able to answer the charges against him in... Continue Reading →
Great Grassroots Endorsement
I would like to call your attention to a recent evangelical development worthy of note. In a time which has seen Bob Jones, Wayne Grudem, and other evangelicals endorse Mitt Romney for practical purposes, three leading bloggers have recently written a joint blog endorsing Mike Huckabee for President. I think there is going to be... Continue Reading →
Plantinga on Adam’s Sin
Yesterday, I had the privilege of hearing one of the preeminent Christian scholars of our day offer a lecture on the conflict between religion and science. Dr. Alvin Plantinga gave a defense of Christianity in logical and philosophical categories. For the calling he has, he is both faithful and useful. However, he got tripped up... Continue Reading →
Calling Love Hate [from archives]
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reportedly announced that the hate crimes legislation recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives was “an important vote of conscience, of a statement of what America is, a society that understands that we accept differences.” I do believe he’s right. If this hate crimes legislation passes—and, thankfully, the President... Continue Reading →
Where Tolerance Takes You
California—long-time leaders in pushing the liberal, anti-Christian agenda—now has new legislation of tolerance that is so tolerant it can’t bear the judgmentalism of hateful words like “Mom” and “Dad.” Mother and Father are also intolerant words. They are not to be tolerated in California. Husband and Wife, too, are intolerant terms which will not be... Continue Reading →
Darkness Abounding
Obviously, many people in Ohio are grieving after a 14 year old opened fire on teachers and students. The story is sad. The young man killed himself. There is not much light in this scene, only darkness. Dark black fingernails, black t-shirts, black pants, black collar, black eye makeup—blackness. One wonders how we’ve allowed the...

Lynn’s Bathroom Dilemma
In honor of one of my all-time favorite Yankees, I am posting a blog from Lynn today. Here is the story as Lynn reads it. (She's gonna kill me for doing this, by the way): "Okay, here's a good one for you. I just read a Fox news article about a lesbian suing a restaurant... Continue Reading →
