I just read an article where the ACLU is up in arms because a judge refused to block the PA Voter ID law. I have no problem with someone being required to provider a photo ID when voting. You need a photo ID to: - Drive a car - Rent a car - Board a plane - Enter a bar - Open a bank account -...

I am not sure how to handle this. I have been witnessing to a friend of mine and he is a very sincere and intelligent guy. No pressure. Random conversations, mostly initiatiated by him. But he brought up something I could not answer for him offhand....... He said, "From what I understand...

I really don't know what to make of this. He calls himself a Christian, but doesn't explain what his specific definition of a Christian is. The U.S. filled with millions of people who call themselves Christians, yet are that in name only. Obviously just because someone calls themself a...

Unfortunately, this is indeed where we are headed. As man has done more and more over time to turn his back on God, sadly God is now returning the favor. After this the same decision will be made for mentally or severely handicapped adults, then those who prove to be too much of a "burden on...

The title is misleading. The priests actions actually go deeper than that. I do not condone what the priest did as far as the rest of the funeral (sounds like he went overboard), but my understanding is that if a priest knows a person is living in sin, he can deny the eucharist to them. Any...

Yesterday was MLK's birthday. I first became interested in him, when I was young and my father, commenting on MLK's speech from the Lincoln memorial, said that in his opinion large parts of that speech were divinely inspired. What I learned over time was that he was a flawed man who practiced...

This is an excellent representation of how a conversation about homosexuality SHOULD go. It accurately addresses the false accusations of judging that are hurled at Christians just because they won't embrace the homosexual lifestyle. FIRST-PERSON: How I wish TV debates on homosexuality would...

I included the link of the article in case people wanted to peruse it and/or see that I am taking nothing out of context. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/presbyterian-pastors-gay-clergy_n_937152.html I was aware of this but a couple of statements in the article give indication...

This goes beyond the typical liberal Judge ruling as far as events such as this. He is prohibiting even the use of certain words - even if they are not used in prayer. Translation: censorship. And he is threatening jail time to anyone who violates his ruling. He says the justification is...

It removed the "celibacy requirement for unmarried clergy" which no says that both gays and and unmarried heterosexuals have no requirement to remain celibate. The greenlighting of sin within a church that is supposed to teach and uphold God's Word is yet another step towards the end. What...

Pastor Rob Bell apparently isn't enjoying the flack he is getting from other Christians over the claims in his book. The defense he makes to try to deflect from the criticism strike me as just as wrong as his initial claims. I have issues with a number of things he said in the article below...

In a recent discussion about the Holy Spirit, the following points about Him were brought out: 1. He is a person. 2. He is, like Jesus, a Comforter or Helper (John 14:16) 3. He is the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17) 4. He is a teacher. 5. He brings the teachings of Jesus to our remembrance (John...
