We are from the government and we are here to “help” you.

A recent article that hit the WorldNetDaily newssite is bone chilling to say the least.  They have had articles over the last year or so about homeschooling families in Germany who have had their kids taken away because it violates laws that were put in place by the Nazi party but are still on the [...]

Praying for Prison

We are getting closer every day to the time when the Christian faith itself may be illegal in the U.S.  Last week, I saw a story about two men who have been brought up on charges and are facing jail time for praying in public.
Students, teachers and local pastors are protesting over a court case [...]

A Matter of Interpretation?

I have held back on commenting about the recent issues in the ELCA meetings and their ultimate conclusion.  Frankly, it breaks my heart to watch as my brothers and sisters in Christ in the ELCA are betrayed in such a way.  There was an article that I read before the final vote was taken, and [...]

Looking for Signs and Wonders

Would you like to know a surefire way to be deceived?  Depend on signs and wonders to authenticate the message of a teacher or pastor.  Signs and wonders by themselves are completely useless to use in determining the authority or authenticity of a person or message.  This week, I have been studying the Torah portion [...]

The Business of Faith

For me the realization came a few years ago when I was given a book about how to succeed in the Christian music industry.  I had never thought of it as an “industry” before, but I as I finished the book written by those who were Christian musicians that I admired and considered gifted, there [...]

Ecclesiastes 1:9-11

There is nothing new underneath the sun is a familiar quotation from Scripture:
9 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
10Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
11There is [...]

A Little Break Now

I get nine days off from classwork now that I just turned in my final assignment for the summer classes.  I intend to use the time catching up on things I have wanted to do but kept postponing all summer.  Hopefully it will mean an increase in blogging as well.  I haven’t been very active [...]

Just Because You’re Paranoid. . .

Doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.  Actually, I couldn’t think of a single clever title for the mishmash that is about to follow in this post so this will have to do.  The only reason I picked this is because I have been installing “software” for my new Microsoft webcam for the last [...]

Faith’s Firm Foundation

I just finished a great book (I know it was good, because I had to read it while still keeping up with my reading for my classes) called The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel.  This is the first time I have read one of his books, although I have always heard good things [...]

It’s Just a Piece of Paper II

Update 2: It is looking more likely that this certificate is a fake as well, but it would still be nice if the person who could clear all of this up with a simple release of his actual birth certificate would just do it and get it all over with.  Come on Mr. President.  Show [...]
