I heard on the news recently, that some right-winger's have been protesting homosexuality near one of the local universities.....carrying signs saying it's a sin. Riiiight. Gender preference is a sin? So, like, these morons really think that homosexuality is a choice? It's like a vending machine? Really? Of course, these are the same America morons who think that evolution doesn't exist, and treat...
Last week at the Innovative Evangelism Conference, I got a chance to hear Dinesh D’Souza speak to a standing room only crowd. Many in the crowd were fellow evangelists, but there were a few seekers and skeptics present as well. Dinesh D’Souza…
I really enjoyed this little article from Ruth Gledhill over at the Times. I would however extend the sentiment to all Christians. We need backbone! A fearless, unashamed love of Jesus. In the mind of the populace, Jesus is the meek and mild babe in the manger, non-judgemental and rather soft, but in reality, He is [...]

I liked the ring of that headline and you’ll see how it fits in a moment. But actually, I thought Victor Davis Hanson’s piece on Palin was four stars. Well, three and a half anyway. VDH sets out to answer two questions: 1) What drives this fear and loathing? 2) How does one, then, assess the Palin [...]

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)
Here is a piteous plea to Barack Barry SoetoroHussein Obama from a young girl in Egypt for protection from her own countrymen because she converted from Islam to Christianity. She and her father are living in hiding and in imminent danger of being murdered by Egyptian Muslim thugs, to include the Egyptian police. Unfortunately the pretender in chief will never acknowledge her existence, much less...
From housing consultant Ivy Zelman commenting on the MBA Delinquency report in the NY Times U.S. Mortgage Delinquencies Reach a Record High "I’ve been pretty bearish on this big ugly pig stuck in the python and this cements my view that home prices are going back down."
