Church Weddings and a Funeral

The recent controversy involving Rev. Gary Simons and his church’s refusal to hold funeral services (which I blogged about here) for a deceased homosexual sent shockwaves throughout the media. To no one’s surprise, people ignorant of Scripture waxed poetic on the hatred and intolerance of Evangelical Christians towards that particular lifestyle and its practitioners.

The Pampered American Pet

During his August 2 radio show, “What Our Pets Say About Us: The Big Business Of The American Pet Industry”, Dr. Albert Mohler highlights the cover story of the August 9 issue of Business Week, “The Pet Economy”, and explores the significance behind America’s love affair with pets.
Mohler was his usual insightful self during the [...]

Obama is right, America’s Foundation “Wasn’t Built on The Rock”

Barack Obama, a Christian by his own admission, invoked the Bible yesterday at a New Orleans church.
This should not be surprising to anyone, after all the man claims to be a follower of Christ and while attending church does not make one a Christian (just like stepping inside a garage does not make one an [...]

OU fan grabs UT fan in a Most Unchivalrous Manner

College Football season hasn’t even started and we already have incidents involving fans (sports unlike religion is one of the many arenas where it’s encouraged to be a fanatic) of rival schools.
This story’s headline pretty much sums it up,
Church Deacon, OU Fan Tears Scrotum Of UT Fan In Bar Fight

Also, please keep in mind that unless you can [...]

To anyone familiar with these areas, it is no surprise that such a publication would thrive there. Every Friday I pick up the week’s copy to keep abreast of happenings and issues which are [...]

Elvira Arellano Shows Her True Colors

In this video, recently deported Mexican national Elvira Arellano speaks at a press conference in México City. This after addressing the Mexican Congress (this is my translation of it),

Public Lashings in Iran, One Way to Curb Drunk Driving?

I tend to stop by the Drudge Report at least once a day, for Matt Drudge posts the most interesting stories.
Found this one titled, “Rough justice: 80 lashes for ‘immoral’ Iranian who abused alcohol and had sex” from the U.K.’s Daily Mail (Warning: not for the squeamish). What the headline does not tell you [...]

Tom Brady speaks of “God’s Decision”

Kurt Warner, who is born again, has taken some flak for publicly professing Christ, especially when he uttered the name of He-who-must-not-be-named (unless in a curse) after winning Super Bowl XXXIV.
Now I understand that the statement “I believe in God” is  devoid of any significant meaning, for there are probably as many conceptions of the [...]

Michelle Obama on Family Values

The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy regarding the qualifications of church leaders (pastors or elders, in Scripture the titles seem to be used interchangeably),
It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.
An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of [...]
