Tiller Killed; Justice Not Served
Being pro-life means a lot more than simply protesting the brutal murder of viable fetuses, or donating money to the local pro-life ministry. Being pro-life involves a deep respect for life and the humanity behind it. In other words, pro-life advocates have a responsibility to carry their burden in such a way as to bring honor to the cause, not shame.
The savage murder of Dr. Tiller was not the fulfillment of justice being served; it was the manifestation of anger that raged out of control within a human being in need of help. I am not suggesting that the killer is the victim; I am suggesting that sanity and respectful living requires a person to maintain a level of control over their emotions and hatred. Killing Dr. Tiller will only bring more reproach to the pro-life movement and further hamstring the efforts of pro-lifers across the country. click below to read more...

Dealing With the "Ex Factor" in Church
What happens at your church when the pastor delivers a sermon that condemns the homosexual lifestyle? After the fear losing members and the wrath of the deacon who happens to have a nephew living as a homosexual passes, what happens? What happens when someone comes to your church and admits they used to live a homosexual lifestyle? What happens if a church member admits struggling with same sex attractions after hearing a message on homosexuality? These are the questions many pastors face and it can be reason enough for pastors avoid the issue of homosexuality altogether. To read more, click below...

Tyranny of Tolerance
“The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance. Question: Isn’t the real truth that they are intolerant of religion?” - Ronald Reagan, August 23, 1984
We started out as a union of colonies wanting to experience life without the government controlling religious expression. This aspiration was the genesis of the greatest societal experiment in the history of the world...America. Imagine, free people living in freedom to the point of being able to experience God without fear of suppression or persecution.
Beauty Queen Bashed for Christian Values
Beauty Queen bashed for speaking in favor of traditional marriage in the Miss USA pageant this week. How can a beauty pageant contestant be so blatantly violated for answering a question with an honest answer? Perhaps I am a product of my generation, but I thought that America was the place where diverse opinions were welcomed.
Is America a Christian Nation?
If we are not a Christian nation, we must be a secular Atheistic nation, or perhaps a Muslim nation or Hindu. A recent Newsweek poll shows that 62% of Americans polled still believe that America is a Christian nation. Although that is a strong majority, the numbers are declining. In 2005 71% polled thought that America was a Christian nation. The reality is that we were founded on basic Judeo-Christian values by men and women who believed that we have a Creator…God. Our system of government is not designed to work outside of a Christian nation.
