I just read this remarkably encouraging pro-life article from where? San Francisco! A great crowd rallied against abortion in San Francisco of all places. According to this article, more than 40,000 marchers gathered together for the pro-life parade. Walk for Life co-chair Dolores Meehan said, "We are here to break the bondage of the culture...

Sunni Muslim Center Ends Dialogue with Vatican – By Nina Shea – The Corner – National Review Online
Sunni Muslim Center Ends Dialogue with Vatican - By Nina Shea - The Corner - National Review Online. Looks like nothing shuts down dialogue as quickly as the truth. Christians are persecuted in every nation in which Muslims have a majority (or even close to a majority). The Pope was merely speaking a word of... Continue Reading →
Human Life the Victim of Abortion
As this article by Michelle Malkin makes painfully clear, the real victim of abortion is humanity. This week is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in many churches, and there will be many sermons concerning abortion and other matters related to human life. I hope that God will sober us through these sermons. Although I understand... Continue Reading →
A Mind to Sin
When you read 1 Samuel 22, you can’t help but to think to yourself, “How in the world can Saul be so blind?” Saul, who was appointed king by popular demand of the people so that they could have a king like the rest of the nations around them, confronts the priest Ahimelech about whether...

Dr. Death Has New Life
I'm not sure whether to blame it on vanity or the cheap thrill of provocative exploits, but Hollywood and liberal elites are giving Dr. Death new life, and this is not a good thing. Wesley J. Smith has posted an important piece which chronicles Jack Kevorkian's resurrection to infamy. As Smith demonstrates accurately, Jack Kevorkian's... Continue Reading →
A Closer Look Into Iran
Typically, all we know about Iran is that they are going nuclear, and we (meaning Americans) might be in danger from such a move. Sure, as Christians--as well as Americans--our interests are political. We ought to be concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions. However, we Christians have a much larger concern (as is pointed out nicely... Continue Reading →

Court rejects D.C. same-sex marriage case – UPI.com
Court rejects D.C. same-sex marriage case - UPI.com. I am not yet sure what exactly this decision by the Supreme Court means. I am trying to find information and do a little more research on it.

Headlining a Non Event
A story on Fox News caught my eye. The headline said, "Taliban May Lift Ban on Education for Women." I thought to myself, "Wow! Maybe pressure from the Christian West is finally paying off in Muslim countries, which have often been much less amenable to women's rights than Christian countries." Even on Fox News, however,...

What’s in a Name (a person)
Loughner, the Tucson murderer, is clearly crazy. In an earlier blog post, I said Loughner represented an “anti-gospel.” After reading some of the findings of the Secret Service study on would-be assassins, I think I can say that Loughner is anti-gospel, if not anti-Christ. (I don’t mean he is the Antichrist or anything like that. ... Continue Reading →

Football Players Lack Power
Like many men in America, I am interested in the outcome of this weekend’s NFL playoffs. Which teams will win the battles of strategic prowess and player power? At the end of this weekend, there will be only 4 victors remaining in the quest for the Lombardi Trophy. Eventually, there will be but 1 winner... Continue Reading →
Are You Blessed
How do we know when we are blessed? On first blush, we might respond that we know we are blessed when we have peace with God and peace with our wives and families. Many of us would think we are blessed when we have plenty of money. We think of NFL players making $6 million... Continue Reading →
Death to Self-pity
When I was a child, I enjoyed sports—any sport. At Christmas, I would ask for sporting goods related to football or basketball. For my birthday, which is in early March, I would ask for fishing gear, camping gear, baseball equipment, or a bow and arrow set. I remember one Christmas that I didn’t get a... Continue Reading →
