Faith & Politics

A prayer to remember:
“Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who [...]

Thoughts on the Eucharist

In my last post “Catholic Mom” presented very thoughtful dialogue I’d like to continue in a separate post. While I don’t want to attack the Catholic church or Catholics (I’m convinced Catholics go to Heaven every day!) the topic of communion is worth further exploration.
One of the links Catholic Mom provided discussed John 6:48-57…I [...]

I don’t get it…

Please read this article and help me understand:
- Why this professor is so bitter…and childish.
- What rosaries, services and sacrifices are supposed to accomplish.
- If the Catholic Church has lost touch with what’s really important.

Methodists Change Stance on Homosexuality?

It appears the Methodist Church will vote today on how their 7.9 million-member church should address the sin of homosexuality.  Their current policy declares, “The United Methodist Church does not condone the practice of homosexuality and considers this practice incompatible with Christian teaching.”  Today’s vote will decide if the policy remains intact or changes to [...]

The Best 94 Minutes You Can Spend Whenever You Want

I just watched this video from UC Berkeley. Tim Keller addresses “Belief in an Age of Skepticism?” It should be very interesting for Christians and nonChristians alike. Half of the time is Q&A.

LA Times Justifies Indecency with Evolution – Discretion Warning

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.  Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God [...]

Love – Or Why Did God Create Satan?

I got a question regarding why God created Satan. I know this is an interesting question from an atheist because the very question presupposes the existence of God. Maybe the person that asked is not certain and really means: Why does God allow evil? I can try to tackle that one but I’m prepared to [...]

Oprah is Offensive in Her Denial of any Truths

All roads do not lead to Rome. As Greg Koukl says: Truth is not ice cream. Sorry Oprah, we don’t get to pick our truths – we are not God. This video was brought back to my attention by my deployed friend.

Latest AFA Campaign Draws Ire

I’ve been in the blogsphere tonight and it seems that a lot of folks are spun up about the AFA’s concern over an OHMIGOD ad series on TV Land. I’ll link to one blog that sums up the argument. People seem to think that their ethics (or “out ethics” Tom Cruise’s case) are on par [...]

Dawkins and Company Seem Upset

I was just reading an article on the exploits of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens. Its an interesting and infuriating read. The secular humanists have owned our schools, our media, and government bureaucracies for decades and yet the author of this piece has the audacity to suggest that atheists are “the most reviled [...]
