Why I Listen to Limbaugh, But Beck, Not So Much

By ⋅ August 31, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I’ve listened to Rush Limbaugh off and on since I was a teenager– though I don’t know if I ever actually have listened to an entire 3 hours (except maybe on a trip).  Personally, I don’t believe that I always agree with the way that he understands what callers are saying– partially a victim of [...]

Never Alone

By ⋅ August 23, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

One of the great parts about the Bible is that we know that with God, though we think that we may be alone, we are never alone.  Throughout the Bible, God has taken His people into places where they can be alone with Him, to concentrate on Him, but He then reminds them that they [...]

Cash For Clunkers?

By ⋅ August 20, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

There’s trouble in paradise.  One of the ways that the government thought that it could help car dealers in the United States could be helped during this recession would be to encourage people to buy new cars by offering them a deal.  Not only that, but at the same time, they could get rid of [...]

Ye Have Heard it Was Said

By ⋅ August 16, 2009 ⋅ One comment

One of the interesting things about the Sermon on the Mount is that it didn’t serve as a sermon to nullify the Law, but to sharpen it.  In a series of comments that Christ makes after the Beatitudes, He states “Ye have heard it was said” and then intensifies a bunch of them. And what [...]

If It’s Really a Baby, That Should Settle It

By ⋅ August 11, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

The single most important question when it comes to life in the womb is whether it’s alive and whether it’s human.  Since it’s both, that should settle the question.  Hence the reason that Justice Harry Blackman, in the Roe v. Wade decision, decided to duck it. The foundational question to this debate is whether or [...]

So It’s a Baby – I Still Deserve My Choice

By ⋅ August 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Regardless of what science or medicine say about life in the womb, the pro-abortionist still has a response: Even if the unborn are human beings, they have fewer rights than the woman.  No one should be expected to donate her body as a life-support system for someone else.

A Discussion on Christian Liberty

By ⋅ August 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Christian Liberty is a difficult topic because people take it different ways.  Some look at Christian Liberty as a license to sin.  Others look at Christian Liberty as the desire to not cause a brother—any brother to stumble. But what does the Bible say? Take a look at my series on Christian Liberty, and see [...]

So Why Do It?

By ⋅ August 6, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

If it’s so obvious that a child in the womb is a baby, a human life, then why would mothers choose to end the lives of their infants.  If a mother waited until after a child was born to kill her child, she’d be under murder charges or checked into a pysch ward.  But if [...]

Stopping a Beating Heart

By ⋅ August 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Watch any television drama that has a death take place, and you see someone check for a pulse or brainwaves.  Once those things are not present, the good guys try to revive the deceased and the bad guys are filled with glee. Only when it comes to abortion, no one tries to revive the deceased, [...]

Just How Complex Is It?

By ⋅ August 4, 2009 ⋅ One comment

One of the arguments for giving the baby in the womb a different name is that we believe that what we can’t see must be less than we are.  It’s a completely ridiculous assumption, but like news items from places that we cannot see, we tend to believe what those that appear to have authority [...]

It’s Just Semantics

By ⋅ August 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

A baby, by any other name, is still a baby.  However, some today are attempting to change the name Fetus to mean “less than human” and they apply that name to the most defenseless among us in order to justify their own desire. Have you ever noticed how militant the Pro-Abortion side is about using [...]
