This story is wrong on so many fronts. An earlier post of mine documents the reality of how you can "check out" of Islam but can never leave. This story takes the sad reality one step further. In this story, these two Christians were married, then later whipped because of it. Government over-reaching and Christian... Continue Reading →
A Dilemma in Nigeria
The situation for Christians in Nigeria is dire. Recent stories have reported the rise of violence against Christians (and all non-Muslims) there. As the stories go, the violence is the result of a determined effort to "Islamize" Nigeria (already close to being a "Muslim" nation). This produces a dilemma when it comes to classifying whether the... Continue Reading →
Muslims in Hotel California
Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo of Barnabas Fund was recently interviewed concerning the differences between Islam and Christianity. I have read his work and have often been challenged (particularly in my Americanism; he is British). He has much firsthand knowledge of Islam. When asked for an example of how Islam differs from Christianity, Dr. Sookhdeo responded by... Continue Reading →
Way to Go, Girl
One of the great hero stories coming out of the New Life Church shooting is of this female security guard who took the killer out, while, apparently, other guards were unwilling or unable to do so. Read the story.
Fascinating Facts
There is a new publishing plant under construction which will become the largest Bible producing plant in the world. It’s in China! China, as you know, is Communist and, supposedly, atheistic.

Update on the Teddy Bear Crime
Thankfully, Gillian Gibbons, the British school teacher in Sudan convicted of insulting Islam by allowing her 7 year-old students name a Teddy Bear Muhammad, has been released. She was pardoned by the government, considering the fact that she has been in prison since November 25. She must now leave Sudan. Reading this article leaves one... Continue Reading →
Sudan Muslims Not Peaceful
This excerpt from the AP story on the Great Teddy Bear caper speaks for itself: KHARTOUM, Sudan - Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad."...

Muslim Justice
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 →
Buddha on Church and State
In Bloomington, IN, the Dalai Lama is coming to town—to teach Buddhism for three days at a publicly funded university. Not one liberal has protested his arrival. Not one liberal has been offended by the statues of Buddha in the courthouse. Neither does anyone seem bothered by the publication of Buddhist philosophy in the public... Continue Reading →
Destroying the Destroyer
I can't really say I want you to go to the Huffington Post. I guess I don't. However, there is a post located there today that will probably anger you and cause you to grieve. The title of the post is "Bush: The Destroyer of Christians." In it, Franky Schaeffer--yes, he's the son of Francis... Continue Reading →
When Justice Is Not an Option
What would you do if your government raped your wife, your daughter, or another woman acquaintance of yours? Imagine the government military officers forcibly kidnapped women and did what they wanted. You aren’t allowed to own a gun or to defend her from the government in any way. You feel helpless. What would you do? ... Continue Reading →
Why I Am Not a Conservative Christian
An article which appeared this morning reaffirms for me why I am not a “conservative” Christian. The article reports the mildly shocking news that Episcopal Bishops have halted their gay agenda (for now) in an effort to appease conservative Christians in the U.S. Conservative Christians in the U.S. had planned to join Bishop Peter Akinola and the...

And the Answer Is “No”
"We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan," he said, "because we found this way to be successful."
Bae a Martyr
Youth Pastor Bae, one of the two men killed by the Muslim kidnappers in Afghanistan, died a martyr. Recent revelations have confirmed that the reason Bae was killed (and the other Christian men beaten) was that they refused to convert to Islam or to partake in the Muslim prayers. We can give thanks to God... Continue Reading →
