In his latest offering , Marvin Olasky tells us about personal responsibility and how it pertains to the Katrina fiasco a year ago. The ever helpful professor also gives us some useful hurricane preparedness tips, especially to those of us who live close to coastal areas.
While he does not address the major culprit in this [...]

Love the new Geico commercials featuring celebrities alongside real Geico customers (at least that’s what is claimed, truth-in-advertising is a paradox to me). While the ageless Charo is entertaining with her coquettish Spanglish, and it’s quite nice to finally put a face to the voice behind movie trailers, my favorite one is the one featuring [...]

I really hope this isn’t true. Supposedly the picture on the left is of Katie Couric, the one and only, at some CBS event at Carnegie Hall. The one on the left is a Reuterized (Photoshopped is the most popular word) version of the same picture, which was published in an in-house CBS [...]

Continued from previous post…
The reason I bring this up is, what if I was in Centanni’s shoes? I am a Christian [follower of Christ], that is a born again child of God who believes that Jesus of Nazareth bodily rose from the dead [this is what being a Christian is, cultural conventions aside].

Fox News Correspondent Steve Centanni (and his cameraman) were released early this week after being held hostage by a group calling themselves “Holy Jihad Brigades”, yes adherents of the religion of peace.
During his stay with these men Centanni was “encouraged” (at gunpoint) to accept the tenets of Islam, or to convert to Islam. We [...]

Dr. Francis Collins is director of the Human Genome Research Project and believes in God while maintaining (like CS Lewis) that evolution was the mechanism God created with. He wrote a book about it, an attempt to mesh the unmeshable.
Dr. Albert Mohler comments on this book and on Dr. Collins’ viewpoint. Of particular [...]

“So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, ‘Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?’ Â He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority…’ “Â (Acts 1:6-7)
The 11 Apostles are so amazed [...]

By the “scientific outlook”, I’m of course referring to the religion that is Naturalism, especially those within its largest denomination, Evolutionism.  A great many holes have been and continue to be punched in this erroneous view of things, but I came across a concise summary of the fatal flaw in this worldview, from the pen of one CS Lewis:
“If minds are wholly [...]

I have never been a ‘dog-person.’ As a child we mostly had cats and we all grew pretty attached to them and were saddened when they either died, ran away or were killed by our mother’s carelessness behind the wheel (ok it only happened once). We did have a dog who we creatively [...]

Let me preface the following by saying that no I’m not the world’s biggest Superchic[k] fan (didn’t like 311 either) and I don’t play one on the radio. My wife really likes their song, “We live,” which by the way, is getting some airtime on MTV (from what I hear) and it’s [...]
