Tolerance is an important buzz-word in American culture. We are taught, encouraged and cajoled into being tolerant of every odd idea that appears. There is no greater complement among some than to be thought a tolerant person. Tolerance has become the holy grail of our godless society. The idea of “live and let live” has [...]

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley discovered quickly that the secular community neither understands nor seeks to understand Christian thought. In comments to a denominational gathering just after being sworn inaugurated into office Bentley declared that there was no brotherhood with people who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ.

There is nothing like a good cathartic rant to take us into the weekend but I just need to say a few things. I am a Christian. I stand with Jesus. I will reject everything else for him. I will not be tolerant of anything or anyone if it means discounting or disrespecting my Lord [...]

A couple of verses for your consideration without comment from me. You are encouraged to offer your thoughts in the comments section. “They hate him who reproves in the gate and they abhor him who speaks truth” (Amos 5:10).

The United States is founded upon Christian principles. For decades we have watched the national slide into secularism and mediocrity. Any mention of God, Christ, the church or anything resembling religion has been removed, by force and coercion from the public square. That seems to be changing. The rise of angry, militant Islam has caused [...]

From our Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Dumber Department comes the story of youngster sent home from school and instructed to undergo psychological testing because he drew a picture of Jesus on the cross.

I don’t like tattoos. I have never seen one that really appealed to me. I’m just not about to spend a small fortune marking up my body with permanent inks. (Actually, with the size of my body it would be a large fortune.) But that is just my opinion and like everyone else I’m entitled [...]

I’ll just direct you over to Right Minded Online. He’s a political blogger but reports on a real embarrasment for San Diego. Home Bible Studies were ordered stopped by a city official. Now San Diego will argue that this is about obeying land use ordinances but in reality it is an attempt to slowly banish [...]

President Obama has nominated federal judge Sonia Sotomayor to become the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Typically, Christians are quick to analyze the prospective justice’s view on abortion – usually. Only in this case there is a problem. Judge Sotomayor has never directly ruled on abortion or a woman’s right to choose life or death [...]

The church has known for centuries the beauty of pure vocal music. Known as “a cappella ” this is the music of the church as taught in the New Testament. Centuries of innovations have all but eliminated it with bands and instruments now predominating in worship settings. But a cappella may be on the rise [...]

Brethren are being warned about the passage, in the U.S. House, of H.R. 1913. The bill is called the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. The warnings tell of future prosecution or persecution of preachers who speak Biblically against homosexuality. We are all sensitive to any threat against the pulpit. Some in [...]

President Barack Obama, less than a week into his presidency, as released your tax dollars to promote abortion. No one can say they are surprised or caught unawares for this is precisely what the candidate promised to do during his campaign. Christians were unhappy to hear his political promises then but should be outraged now [...]

“For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:37) It’s been a long time since I was really shocked by anything I’ve seen in our present culture. Morals are almost invisible. There is no shame anymore. Sinners are now victims and there no longer exists a right way or a wrong [...]
