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. ...

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 →
Filipino Tragedy
Having spent much time with Filipinos lately, I am on alert for stories related to the Philippines. Sadly, there is a news report from Catobato this morning detailing a church bombing. At least 5 people were killed and 30 injured as a Catholic church was bombed during morning mass. There continues to be on-going tension... Continue Reading →

According to this article, organic may not actually mean organic. Be aware.
The Moron Brothers
If you haven't seen the video below, you owe it to yourself to taste this little slice of Southern pie. If you ever wonder what it's like to live in Kentucky...
Both Frustrating and Exciting
It is unusual for an article to be both frustrating and exciting, but this article accomplishes the feat remarkably well. In relation to the 500th Anniversary of Calvin's birth, this article grossly misrepresents what Calvinism is and why it is gaining influence. At the same time, however, the article focuses attention on the tsunami of Calvinist soteriology in America. ... Continue Reading →
How Goofy Can the Greenies Get?
This article bemoans the fact that Obama's administration is not going to put a tax on cow burping. They attribute the lack of cow belching legislation to a powerful farmers lobby. First of all, it seems to me that it would have to be a ranchers lobby, rather than a farmers lobby. Nevertheless, the article... Continue Reading →
Must Read DeMint
I have linked here a letter that was written by Senator Jim DeMint, urging pastors specifically to be vocal in their opposition to so-called "hate crimes" legislation. As I have pointed out several times on this blog, hate crimes legislation is nothing but an anti-Christian powerplay to give those in power a sword with which... Continue Reading →
Twitter and Friends
Dr. Mohler and John Piper have both written small pieces praising Twitter for the power it possesses to spread good news and good intentions. Even though this story does not have spreading the good news of salvation in view, it is a tangible demonstration of the power of Twitter and other new media to do... Continue Reading →

From Gitmo to Bermuda
Apparently, the plan to close Guantanamo is getting ugly. In this news article (which probably will not show up much in the mainstream), the point is plainly made that no one (a) thinks the fellows at Gitmo are innocent people who need a break; and (b) that the people housed at Gitmo are terrorists. People... Continue Reading →
