Persecution in Pakistan
Persecution is alive and well. Six Christians were killed in Pakistan by extremists. I don’t have a lot of time to comment except to say, pray for the persecuted church. Pray that their faith will be in God and their deaths will not be in vain. The martyrs will be vindicated one day just... »
Home-schoolers Under Fire from Darwinists
Fox News has a story up tonight from the Associated Press about disenfranchised home-schoolers. One look at the story tells you it’s a hit piece designed to lash out at Christians for dominating the home-school market. The story quotes a parent (ironically named “Mule”) whose kid got all bent out of shape because she... »
Environmental Ad, Dating, 9/11 Pictures, Ebert, & Reid
For your reading pleasure: Did you see the Audi ad with the environmental police during the Super Bowl? Jonah Goldberg calls it “Gorewellian.” He wonders if it will sell cars. I was disgusted and let the people I was watching the game with know perhaps crossing some social boundaries. What else is new? The Weekly Standard... »
The Truth Gets ‘Em All Riled Up
I wonder how many people had the same reaction I did to the Tim Tebow ad put out by Focus on the Family. After all the hype I expected something at least mildly in your face. Instead, the ad was just mild. We learned a couple of things from this escapade. First, anything in the... »
The Truth Is Out There!
In 1923, J Gresham Machen penned Christianity and Liberalism. The inclusion of the conjunction “and” was both intentional and indicative of the thesis of his still-celebrated volume: There is a fundamental difference and distinction between Christianity and Liberalism.

Pluralism Gaining Ground
The US Air Force announced they now have a “worship circle” so Wiccan members can worship the earth…in a circle. Key paragraph from the article: I’d be interested to hear reactions from military people. The military obviously tries to accommodate everyone religiously. I wonder how this works in practice. I have long held the view that... »
Does God Hate Haiti?
Below is a commentary on the recent tragedy by Dr. R. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY. I’m posting his commentary directly because they represent the words of a very theologically and biblially mature scholar. On the one hand they serve as a correction to the many Americans who cannot fathom... »
A Response to Pat Robertson
If you haven’t heard Pat Robertson’s comments on Haiti you can see it here. This is the kind of comment that the old guard makes periodically that gets everyone all riled up. Here’s what Robertson said: “Something happened a long time ago in Haiti…They were under the heal of the French…And they got together... »
Prayers and Dollars for Haiti
The news out of Haiti is terrible. They have been hit by a horrible earthquake and many are feared dead. In times of crisis like this there are two ways to help short of getting on a plane and going there. First, you can pray. Pray for miracles and that those who are trapped... »
No Surprise Here: Liberals Hate on Hume
It was bound to happen. Ben posted a link to Brit Hume’s original comments on Fox News Sunday that Tiger Woods should convert to Christianity. Here is a follow up interview with Bill O’Reilly: And links to hysterical reaction: Tom Shales thinks Hume should apologize. For what? Shales writes, “It sounded a little like one of... »
