Thoughts on hell
2007-10-03 16:47:00 A post by Robert over at Mulled Vine got me thinking about the subject of hell. I believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally whenever possible, but this is one of those places where I do not think a literal interpretation makes sense. Many people do teach that hell is a place of ... More About: Thoughts , Hell

2007-09-30 03:56:00 Michael English, my favorite singer, is coming out with a new album entitled The Prodigal Comes Home . It should be released any day now. For the time being, Sanctuary, the first single from the album, can be heard on his myspace page, along with In Christ Alone, my favorite song of all time, and the ... More About: Theology
The most useful Wordpress plugin ever?
2007-09-28 11:05:00 HeadSpace2 is one powerful plugin. I upgraded recently to Wordpress 2.3 and instantaneously lost the tag functionality I had been used to. The very next day I found HeadSpace2, which plugs your tags into the meta keywords and allows you to set meta descriptions both sitewide and on a per-post basis. It also comes with ...

Thoughts on homosexuality
2007-09-28 09:16:00 On one of the forums I regularly visit, the subject of homosexuality has come up with increasing frequency. Is it a sin? Is it curable? I am not certain whether homosexuality is genetic or learned. I have my doubts as to whether it is hereditary or not. I tend to believe in the validity of the ...

Bloggers Against Abuse
2007-09-27 07:05:00 I’m joining 1,000s of bloggers around the world today in BlogCatalog’s Blogging for a Great Cause Challenge. The topic for this challenge is abuse. Some of the most disturbing abuse that could possibly be imagined is carried out against Christians all over the world. There are 200 million Christians suffering for their faith every day, from ...

Kiefer Sutherland Arrested on DUI
2007-09-26 03:19:00 Kiefer Sutherland was arrested for driving under the influence. What is it with all these Hollywood actors drinking and driving? I’m sure Kiefer is probably a great guy, but one thing that absolutely disgusts me is people driving drunk. I think people who are found driving drunk should be charged with attempted murder and punished ... More About: Arrested , Kiefer Sutherland , Kiefer

Who created God?
2007-09-22 16:22:00 If you ask an evolutionist what was there before the Big Bang, they’ll likely ask you who created God. Everyone knows that every effect must be preceded by a cause. This only applies, however, when time is a factor. The Bible teaches that God created the universe. The universe is comprised of space, matter and ... More About: Theology , Creation
Mathetes Award
2007-09-22 09:26:00 It’s time again to share the link love. I’ve been presented with the Mathetes Award by Robert Morschel of Mulled Vine fame. The award was started by Dan King of Management by God. He explains on his blog that “Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great ... More About: Theology
The death knell for Fred?s candidacy?
2007-09-21 03:05:00 President of Focus on the Family James Dobson has come out against Fred Thompson’s candidacy. I share some of Dr. Dobson’s concerns, so I wonder if this might be the death knell for Fred’s candidacy. I don’t care about him not being open about his faith. As someone once said about Mitt Romney, he’s not ... More About: Politics , Theology , Death , The D
Who was Cain?s wife?
2007-09-19 16:09:00 This is a question that has oddly perplexed Christians over the ages even though the answer is as plain as day in the book of Genesis. I saw the question just the other day posted at BlogCatalog. It seems to come up all the time, so I guess it won’t hurt to answer it one ... More About: Theology , Wife , Cain , Creation
My apologies for the problem with comments
2007-09-16 14:20:00 I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress the other day, and apparently the anti-spam plugin I had installed was not compatible. It was preventing people from posting comments, but I didn’t notice it (my blog’s not that popular, so a few days without comments is not abnormal… ). Many thanks to micpro at ...

500 scientists refute global warming dangers
2007-09-13 03:24:00 The global warming alarmists claim that no real scientists doubt global warming. They’re disingenuous when they say this, because what people do doubt is the idea that global warming is man-made and the idea that it is irrefutably a bad thing. In fact, more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting the current man-made global ... More About: Politics , Global Warming , Global , Scientists , Environmentalism
Humorous discussion
2007-09-12 16:11:00 I engaged in a humorous discussion the other day with a person who believes that this world is an hallucination. I would provide the link, but I don’t want to “artificially enhance” the discussion. Anyway, I thought I’d share the conversation with you. Confused bloke: There is not one thing in this world that is true. ... More About: Humorous , Discussion , Disc
U.S. border closed to unsafe Mexican trucks
2007-09-12 12:23:00 Well, Congress has actually done something useful for once. They blocked the deal I mentioned the other day. The U.S. Senate has dealt a likely death blow to the Bush administration plans to give Mexican long-haul trucking rigs free access to United States roads and highways. A bipartisan majority voted 74-24 tonight to pass an amendment offered ... More About: Politics , Trucks , Closed
Top 5 9/11 Truther Myths You Should Be Prepared to Debunk
2007-09-12 02:10:00 Mary Katharine Ham has a great piece on 9/11 truthers on Townhall today. Six years later, and the conspiracy theories are still floating around. I figured the kooks would have gone away by now. Myth No. 1: Four novice pilots with no experience could never have successfully guided those planes into three out of four targets. Fact: ...

A bad argument against evolution
2007-09-10 02:21:00 Lately I have seen a certain argument against evolution popping up left and right. It seems that many people think that it is reasonable to assume that if humans evolved from apes there should be no more apes. First off, to be technical, evolutionists do not believe we came from apes. They think we share ... More About: Evolution , Creation

Is Rush rooting for Huckabee?
2007-09-09 02:51:00 On Friday, Rush Limbaugh made the following comments on his show: You know, Huckabee is — well, when these things all started, everybody said, “Rush, who you for?” I said, “It’s too soon, you never know, anybody could spring out of this thing a surprise.” Now, Huckabee hasn’t moved in the top tier yet, but ...

Vice President Huckabee?
2007-09-09 02:47:00 The New York Times thinks it might be a good idea for Rudy Giuliani to run with Mike Huckabee . They say they “balance each other out.” Do they really think that conservatives are going to vote for Giuliani just because he’s got a conservative vice president? Not me. I will be voting for someone else ... More About: Politics , President , Vice President , Vice
U.S. border to be opened to 100 Mexican-domiciled trucking companies
2007-09-08 05:26:00 WorldNetDaily has a very alarming story today about plans to open the border to Mexican trucking companies that do not meet American safety standards: “The Bush administration has indicated to me that tomorrow (Friday) they will open the U.S. border to 100 Mexican-domiciled trucking companies,” DeFazio said. “This is a sad day for America.” “This administration is ...

Misguided teachings in the church
2007-09-08 05:16:00 A couple of blogs got me thinking about biblical-sounding teachings that are nowhere to be found in the Bible. The first is the “sinner’s prayer.” Bob Hayton does a good job of describing the dangers of this seemingly innocent addition to the words of the Bible and notes that no one recorded in the Bible ...

If it?s good enough for Tigger?
2007-09-06 14:17:00 It seems that many people argue that euthanasia should be legalized on the grounds that “we do it for our pets, so why shouldn’t we do it for suffering family members?” I am actually shocked to see this kind of reasoning used in public fora. Can we really compare the value of a human being ... More About: Good , Tigger

A martial arts fan?s dream come true
