>MTV Reality Show Highlights Abortion

>http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.com:1654990 Many thoughts come to mind while watching this. Obviously I’m filled with immense sadness that the life of an unborn baby was taken. I’m outraged that the murder of innocent babies is legal in our nation. It’s also upsetting that MTV obviously has an agenda with this show and that is to make abortion [...]

Not too long ago Ray Boltz also “came out” that he was a homosexual. Today the point of my blog is not really to address them and their sin; for what the Bible teaches [...]

>The church is dying…

> I drive past it several times a day. It’s a beautiful church – a brick building (I love brick buildings) with a separate large fellowship hall. The church resides on a nice lot in a great part of our town. Very few cars ever enter its paved parking lot. A sign on the front [...]

Declaring His Glory – Among All People!

Currently I am reading American Saint: Francis Asbury and the Methodists(which is a great book by the way). Today as I was reading I read how in 1790 African-American’s made up 20% of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In some places there was an even greater percentage than this! In the district that Francis Asbury knew [...]

I Have a Dream…

I wasn’t alive in the 1960′s. I never saw the segregation that separated whites and black to the point that blacks could not eat at the same places as whites (except for eating spiritual food in Church…).

In the first decades of its publication, it was the leading journal for conservative Christianity and the early fundamentalist movement. It’s editor [...]

Porn and paper pastors

Great article!   Decades ago, I read a disturbingly candid essay by a pastor about his struggles with pornography. It was in Leadership magazine. Years later, two of his realizations still stand out to me. The author came to see (as I recall) that he was attracted to these images because they were unreal. The women [...]
