Many have begun to protest China. I read yesterday that a human rights torch relay is taking place all across the USA. I have linked an article here which demonstrates that the Chinese government has a thorough cleansing policy ahead of the '08 Olympics. The article tells of the persecution of 2 Christians in particular... Continue Reading →
Another Ill-fated Peace Ploy
I cannot imagine how King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia will ever pull off this ambitious attempt to dialogue with Jews and Christians. Apparently, he is trying to arrange a summit for the world’s monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. But it isn’t clear that Jews would be invited, even though they represent the Torah and... Continue Reading →
Huckabee’s Cross
My own opinion is that Mr. Huckabee was not elected because he was formerly a Baptist Minister. Americans will not discriminate against a woman candidate or a black candidate, but a Baptist minister is certainly fair game for discriminating Americans. According to this article, the discrimination against Huckabee was at least partly based on his unyielding... Continue Reading →
Gas Got You Down?
I remember the trucker shutdown of the 70's. Apparently, there are some who are going to give it another go. This time, the shutdown is scheduled for April Fool's Day; so, it's hard to take seriously just yet; it might be a big April Fool's joke. At any rate, I am glad someone is doing... Continue Reading →
O-Gospel
Barack Obama, who didn't know his pastor and mentor of the past two decades was racist and anti-American, knows well and preaches often the gospel--the gospel of Obama, that is. We have already seen how--according to the gospel of Obama--the Sermon on the Mount teaches that America ought to allow gay civil unions. Now, we... Continue Reading →
Leben
I have linked here an issue of Leben that has a short article on the life of Paul Schneider. Paul Schneider was the first Christian Pastor killed by the Nazis in Germany for his "intolerance" of what the rest of the culture [and Christians] were willing to tolerate. May his continue to be a voice... Continue Reading →
Southern Baptist Climate Initiative (Pt. 4)
Actually, I have posted the complete article on the Southern Baptist Climate Initiative on a separate page which I have linked here. I also encourage those of you who would like to explore the issue more to visit the Cornwall Alliance.
Southern Baptist Climate Initiative (Pt. 3)
This article is part 3 of a 4 part article on the recent SBECI. My second major concern is on the latter point: Clarity. What is it exactly that is being proposed? What is the major concern driving the initiative. Is it care for creation, care for the environment, or the more specific concern of... Continue Reading →
Southern Baptist Climate Initiative (Pt. 2)
My concerns are substantive, and they are three. First, I am concerned about the carefulness of the initiative and of its leaders. The leaders of this initiative are insistent that the issue of global warming is a defining one and that we must enter the conversation. They are, for the most part, attempting to lead...

Southern Baptist Climate Initiative
Regarding the recently unveiled Southern Baptist Environmental and Climate Initiative (see http://www.baptistcreationcare.org), I have a few concerns. I applaud the initiative in the sense that it is an attempt to extend the biblical worldview to all of creation, which, of course is explained in a biblical worldview. As Christians, we understand that the earth is... Continue Reading →
Abortion Is Eugenics
If you ever doubted that America and the West (in this case the UK) is every bit as much guilty of the eugenics we decried in Nazi Germany, then simply read this article. This blog article from Wesley J. Smith will convince you that we are so far gone for abortion that we can't even... Continue Reading →
Conversion Neutrality
Officially, the American Counseling Association [ACA] is neutral as to whether counselors should recommend conversion or reparation therapy to homosexuals. Unofficially, they are now questioning whether it might not be unethical to recommend conversion therapy to homosexuals. Here is how the article below states the matter: The Ethcs Committee for the ACA had suggested in 2006... Continue Reading →
The Gospel of Obama
The Sermon on the Mount endorses gay partnerships. That’s news indeed. Under the new interpretation offered by Barack Obama, the Sermon on the Mount speaks in favor of gay unions more clearly than anything in Romans speaks against homosexuality. Yeah, the whole “men committing shameless acts with men” section of Romans 1 is notoriously difficult... Continue Reading →
Irrelevance of Peaceful Islam
I'm not a fan of e-mailed articles. Stories get around, and, like the telephone gossip game we played in school, have a way of becoming distorted by the time they have passed over a few lips and ears. Still, even if some of the facts of this following story can be controverted, the point cannot;... Continue Reading →
The Problem with Appeasement
This church in Texas thought it would be a good idea to accept homosexuals into the church without actually “affirming” homosexuality. It sounded like a good idea at the time, you know, a kind of middle ground between affirming and condemning the behavior. The problem occurred when the homosexuals decided they wanted their pictures in... Continue Reading →
