The Church and the Outside World
Part of the problem that we have being Christians and knowing what God expects of us is that we often time project our knowledge on to other people. We project it onto other Christians—comparing what we believe to others, and then we compare how we act with the unbelievers around us. Both of these are [...]
And What About Abortion?
The surprise of the Health Insurance debate last fall was that just when the House figured the bill was a go, a bunch of Pro-Life Democrats said “no.” They needed better language in the bill in order to make sure that the “Hyde Amendment”1 stayed valid. So, I’m sure you’re thinking that President Obama must [...]
Are You Ready for $7 a Gallon?
I don’t think that anyone disagrees that we need to cut our dependence on foreign oil. President Obama (and Al Gore) mixes this goal with the goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to “save the planet”1. To that end, he’s set emission targets, and some Harvard researchers say that it’ll take $7 a gallon gasoline [...]
Don’t Seek The Spotlight
One doesn’t participate in the Miss USA pageant because they’re timid, modest and reserved. They may get in it for the college money, for the recognition of their beauty, or because they have a competitive spirit. The problem with seeking fame is that always comes with a cost. In Galatians, the Bible talks about how [...]
Power Once Used Never Goes Back in the Box
When President Obama signaled his approval of using the Senate’s Budget Reconciliation process to push ObamaCare1 through the Senate, he is doing more than going back on statements he made about wanting this to be bipartisan. He is doing more than misusing something that is in place for budgetary measures. He is proposing used a [...]
Slinky Clothing Provokes Rape?
Jeans Photo by Rolfpicture Running a website on modesty, I have heard all sorts of reasons of why a woman should wear modest clothing. Most of the reasons center around what different clothing does to guys that look at it, and a desire not to cause men to lust after a woman. The problem with [...]
If The Government Can’t Get Medicare Right…
Here’s something I’ve had trouble understanding from the start. Government already has one health care solution that it provides: Medicare. How is it doing?
Taking a Stand is Costly
It was not easy to be a Christian after Christ left the Earth. A quick read through Fox’s Book of Martyrs reveals that many of those in the early church met cruel fates. They were beheaded, crucified, used as human torches and fed to lions for sport. These people took a stand for Christ over [...]
Could We Be Ready For the Anti-Obama?
In 2008, the country voted for someone with a promise of “hope and change,” someone that gave a lot of promises to everyone—many more than he could possibly fulfill. Will the country be ready for someone whose only promises would be less debt, less spending and less taxes in 2012? And who would have that [...]
Who Is He Apologizing For?
Shane Claiborne has a message for all nonbelievers—Christians are the biggest bunch of hypocrites, and I’m not like them.
What Should An Elected Official Do?
In a Democratic Republic like we have, what are politicians supposed to do? There are two schools of thought on this. Some believe that they are elected to do what they think is best. They believe that we elect statesmen, that are better than us and that have our best interest at heart. The other [...]
Delayed Reaction
When confronted, there are two things to remember: Defensiveness will only get you so far. Defensiveness sets you up for an attack Carrie Prejean’s reaction to the revelation that she had cosmetic surgery done was to get defensive. She sated that she did not believe that it was against the Bible to have cosmetic surgery [...]
The American Democracy is Broken
Like the broken down old pickup shown above, many in America feel that the American Democracy is broken. Putting aside for the moment that the country is actually a Democratic Republic, many believe that the officials we have in place are not cut out for the task at hand, and one wonders if that includes [...]
Who’s Right on Healthcare?
One of the trouble with numbers is that with the size of the numbers that were being thrown around the other day at the health care debate was that it’s extremely difficult to tell who is using the right numbers and what the truth is. President Obama uses numbers that back up his argument, and [...]
