For those of you wondering how Thomas Calixtro [TC] is doing, I have linked here some pictures. Obviously, he's cool. You can see from the pictures that the Word is the central theme of this mission.
Does God Need Guns
There are some funny moments in the video below. Obviously, the reporter is over her head in the interview. Whereas among her journalist friends her quips would have carried the day, but our patriotic pal in the video is undaunted by her high-minded questions concerning his decision to offer AK-47's to anyone who buys a...

I Could
According to this story, Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners, in conjunction with a few Democrat lawmakers, is proposing Christian support for a new bill ostensibly designed to reduce the number of abortions. “Helping young people to delay sexual activity, preventing the pregnancies that people don't want, economically supporting low-income women to give them real choice...

More From Eugenic Soil
In my recent Nazi euthanasia lecture, I argued that it is not in our best interest to claim that certain actions and procedures are linked to Nazism because then the defending party would only need to demonstrate that his actions aren't the same as Nazi actions. In almost all cases, this would prove true. The... Continue Reading →
The Soil of Eugenics
Eugenics--the thought that we can improve the human race through genetic engineering--has been around since the 19th Century; it started by taking God out of the picture (naturalism). It quickly joined hands with Darwinian evolution and the modern penchant for progress. It came to full flower in Germany, of course; yet, it has been in... Continue Reading →
Blind Eyes for Threats to Women
I hope women's groups get access to this story out of Iran. I remember my surprise when women's rights groups supported Bill Clinton for President and, afterwards, supported him through the entire intern ordeal. I thought, at that point, their credibility was shot. I figured their on-going work would be no more effective than Jimmy... Continue Reading →
Globs of Tissue Remember
You may click here to read a fascinating story concerning research which shows that fetuses have memories. The researchers were able to test at 30 weeks gestation and demonstrate that the child in the womb was able to recall and respond and even learn to respond more quickly over the course of the experiment. The... Continue Reading →
Pro Choice?
One of the unintended consequences of the pro-choice movement may turn out to be the oppression of women. Ironic, isn't it? The liberation movement championed free choice for all women. The right to abortion became the right for the women to choose whether or not they would have the child. Now, however, a trend appears... Continue Reading →
Green with Frustration
For quite some time, California has produced no small collection of green-friendly laws, codes, and commandments. The situation appears to be completely out of hand now. Such confusion was inevitable, I think, because people have too many interests at stake to be objective about what is best for all (either for all people or all... Continue Reading →
Eugenics Alive, But Which Population
The blogosphere is lighting up with conversation and debate over Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's comments related to eugenics. In case you haven't heard, she said, Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have...

Thumbs Up! I really like this
Check out this article concerning Steven Curtis Chapman and the ministry God has given him and his wife. I really like the fact that this ministry is in a poor and needy area of China. Read the article and see what you think.
Tracking Church Crimes
The so-called "hate crimes" laws being considered in Congress and around the country pretend to be concerned about groups that have historically been targeted for crimes. Oddly enough, the list always includes homosexuals, even though it has not been proven that there systemic efforts of violence toward that group. Even more odd is the fact... Continue Reading →
Neda May Have Been Christian
According to this report from Jihad Watch, Neda Soltani, symbol of the Iranian protests, was a Christian. There are many implications from this information. Apparently, the picture of her which circulated around the world originally cropped out the cross she wore around her neck. See the picture and a more complete discussion at Get Religion. ...

Would You Like Universal Healthcare?
If you think you would like universal healthcare, check out this video! (The Lego figures are a bonus).
Persecution Updates
From rescuing children who have been victimized in the global sex trade to fighting for freedom in North Korea or caring for orphans in Indonesia, the Jubilee Campaign, a catholic organization which seeks to minister to the suffering and persecuted church, carries on a vast array of projects around the world. You can review some... Continue Reading →
