“Should Christians Support Obama?”
Dr. David Barton is a premier historian on American History and a widely sought-after biblical speaker. He is famous for his knowledge of historical facts as well as biblical truths.
Dr. David Barton - on Obama
Respect the Office? Yes.
Respect the Man in the Office? No, I am sorry to say.
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats...
Earon James: Living Free...For Real Pt. 1 →
earonjames:
As a youth pastor I have noticed a disturbing trend. In our rush to have successful youth ministries we sometimes end up teaching young people how to modify their behavior instead of living out true freedom. With good intentions we push the Christian disciplines of bible reading, prayer, fasting,…

Atheism
The belief that there was nothing. Nothing happened to nothing causing nothing to explode. When nothing exploded, it created everything. Some of everything then rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits which turned into dinosaurs.
Makes perfect sense.
Without such brilliant scientific reasoning, gullible people like us would believe God exists or...

A Prayer for Our Great Nation
As we come to the end of this year, I pray that this prayer by Billy Graham will be the cry of every believer as we seek God for His mercy and press forward to carry the message of the gospel to our generation.
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but...

Christmas Angels
Today I heard what I’m sure was the sonic blast of this year whizzing past my head at a record-breaking rate as I ventured into the mall to have a battery installed in my watch. When I walked through the doors, I was greeted with the sights, sounds, and smells of the approaching Christmas season and was smacked upside the head with the realization that we were already approaching the final lap of...

The Fear of God
I recently returned from taking my daughter to Arizona to visit the place where she was born. While we were there, the two of us went up for a day to the Grand Canyon. Pictures never do justice to the vastness and awe of this natural beauty. A person has no idea what thoughts and emotions can enter one’s heart until he experiences a stagger along the rim of the canyon in person. Beyond that,...

Don't Mess with History Unless You Know Your Stuff
Sigh.
Will we ever move away from an insolent and flagrant ignorance concerning our American History in effort to deny the fact that we are a nation based on biblical foundations and belief systems?
[Taken in part from American Spectator]:
George Stephanopoulos made the mistake of going after Michele Bachmann on history — and promptly proceeded to get his history foolishly...

The Worst U.S. President Israel Ever Had
WASHINGTON (ABP) – The Southern Baptist Convention’s top public policy official called Barack Obama “the worst president of the United States that Israel has ever had” at a rally held June 3-4 in Washington.
“The reason I am a social conservative is because I believe the Bible,” Richard Land, president of the SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said Saturday at the Faith and Freedom...

We Were Traitors
I was watching one of my favorite movies tonight, The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson along with the lovely Joely Richardson and the late Heath Ledger. As I was watching and thinking of the history of our great nation, I was reminded of the great cost that was paid by so many. This price was not for the symbols and government of what is now the United States, but rather for the value system of...

I recently came across a study posted by one of my friends on facebook from a less than reputable organization seeking to explain or criticize “charismatic” leaders- some of which need to be. In the idea of people being misled, the church or believers in Christ in general have always been the bunt of jokes, the criticized by “intellectual” society, or simply stereotyped as...

Keep it Real: Righteous Indignation →
Sometimes the devil does predictable things that don’t surprise us. (it’s like listening to all the ‘dumb criminal’ stories…you just have to laugh). Then there are times when the devil does something completely out of the box. (it’s like getting rear ended by a mac truck while sitting in your car…

A Powerful Passage of Scripture
Below is a powerful passage of scripture I believe everyone should understand and commit to memory and heart…
Proverbs 2:1-9 (NKJV)
1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you...
Small Things
I cannot grow until I am willing to change. I cannot change until I am willing to change some small thing I do every day. Napoleon made this statement: “The only conquests which are permanent and leave no regrets are the conquests over ourselves…” It is the small responsibilities I have in front of me now that will define the first great leadership conquest I need to make. ...

Most of our tools need sharpening; we need quickness of perception, tact, energy, and promptness. In a word, we must have complete adaptation for the Lord’s work. Unfortunately, Practical common sense isn’t so common – it is a scarce thing...

Strategic Thinking
Have you ever taken the time to learn about something that has nothing to do with your immediate work or personal life? I usually maintain a personal proclivity to learn for a purpose – the type of learning which moves a person toward something relevant or practical. If I am just learning to learn, what’s the point… right? If you are like that too, you might be missing out. Some of the most...
SIMPLICITY
I have, at times, been accused of over-simplifying matters – especially those matters that are significant to others. It is a flaw I suppose, but only in the sense that it may undervalue a matter by not giving it the magnitude of importance in time or detail expected by the recipient. But I have to question; does time or detail really affirm the value of a matter? Perhaps a simple insight,...

Seeing What God Sees
[John 5:19-20 NKJV] 19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
Jesus had perfect...
Understanding God's Will
In understanding God’s will for our lives, we have to see absolutely everything in the light of it. Knowing that, my greatest challenge is to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in a given matter. My difficulties are easily faced and overcome when my heart is positioned in perfect alignment with God’s sovereignty. This alignment is not a manifestation by the...
Roe V. Wade - Previous Post from January 28, 2010
Roe V. Wade
A week ago, January 22 marked the 37th anniversary of the infamous Roe V. Wade decision by the Supreme Court overturning a Texas decision and making abortion legal in the United States. Recently, however, we have seen what I believe to be a small miracle here in my home town of Pensacola, Florida. One of our major abortion clinics has closed down after 25 years of infant murder,...
