Most of us have heard about the recent incident of Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos not getting to speak at the University of California-Berkeley because of rioting by the students in a successful attempt to shut down free speech.1 Yiannopoulos even describes how students inviting him are forced to pay for security. This is nuts. I of course am a Bible believing Christian and maintain that homosexuality is a sin that needs to be repented of, just as I need to…..
The January 2017 issue of National Geographic features what is truly a very sad situation. Avery Jackson is featured as a 9 year old “transgender girl.”1 This is extremely sad on several accounts. First it is very sad that a young boy (That is right, I said boy.) would be so confused. What is even sadder is the state of our society, exemplified by National Geographic. Because of political correctness, and denial that there is truth, young Avery is not…..
Without doubt, all of Hillary’s lying and scandals was the deciding factor in this close election – from her blaming Benghazi on an internet video1 to the Clinton Foundation’s “Pay to Play.”2 Hillary Clinton will unlikely be prosecuted for any of her actions. But her losing the presidency was her punishment. I do not know if this is a direct punishment from God, or it is just a natural consequence of sin. Yes, that is right. I used the “s”…..
On Friday, May 13, the Obama administration gave notice to U.S. public schools that transgender students must be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.1 The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) responded. Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated this as “an outrageous attack on our Creator Himself, human sexuality and morality, and an advancement of the attack against religious freedom.”2 As a matter of fact, a number of Southern Baptist leaders have made statements on this issue…..
Robert Reich says that the GOP has “died in 2016” and “been replaced by warring tribes.” One of these “tribes” is “Evangelicals opposed to abortion, gay marriage, and science.”1 Just to clarify in case there is someone out there who does not get what he is saying; Reich is saying that anyone that believes the Bible rather than Darwin is opposed to science. Again, as a reminder, The General Theory of Evolution and the big bang theory are actually products…..
In my posting “Ireland? This is what I have been talking about!” I warned about Justice Kennedy casting the deciding vote on the future of our country. I explained that we are in this situation because of the failings of church leadership to teach Christians that they really can believe the Bible! Now it has happened. We know what side of the bed that Justice Kennedy woke up on. Justice Kennedy sided with Sonia Sotomayor and Elana Kegan (two…..
But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in His name, His word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it! Jeremiah 20:9, NLT. These are the words Jeremiah spoke after Pashhur the priest had Jeremiah whipped and put into stocks for telling the people the message that they did not want to hear. The message from God was that the…..
A big news story right now is Bruce Jenner becoming “Caitlyn” Jenner. Sometime back, a man that I knew from work decided to become a “woman.” This became a point of discussion with some of my wife’s family. I am not in favor of efforts to make a man a “woman” or a woman a “man.” The people that I was having the discussion with were asking me what basis that I had for not believing someone had a right…..
In the recent controversy in regards to the efforts to protect religious freedom in Indiana and Arkansas, I must say that I am very disappointed in Wal-Mart in the stand that they took against Christians having the right to live according to their faith. I am an admirer of the late Sam Walton and shop at Wal-Mart. But this is what I need to understand and what everyone with a biblical world view needs to understand. Those who do not…..
