Marvia of Growing Your Church had this to say on the topic: Pastors should not disengage from politics. Like every other citizen of a country, the pastor must also exercise her/his right to have a say in the governance of the country. However, I also believe that pastors be objectively critical when addressing political matters…

The Value of Hard Work – Quote
FACE just sent me an email with this inspiring and useful quotation: “Without industry and frugality, no people in the world can flourish. If families live in idleness, if people go beyond their abilities in living, building, dress… if children are not carefully brought up to industry, there is no doubt they will be miserable,…
Throwing Out the Baby
A friend just wrote a comment over at my Blogcatalog Group called “Christian Worldview.” I thought it was interesting so I’d like to summarize his thoughts and then write my response. Essentially he said that we need to “toss out the Religious Right and the Moral Majority” and be “authentic and radical” Christians like in…

Death Panels?

I believe Sarah Palin coined the phrase here: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=113851103434 When Barack Obama tries to stop this “deception” he does so by saying it is an outright lie, there is no “death panel” in any current legislation. I…
Kingdom Come
In Matthew 6:9ff Jesus teaches us how to pray. I find that what he teaches us challenges some basic, and often unspoken, presuppositions of the modern Christian. The contemporary believer believes that God is concerned about spiritual things primarily; things like prayer, going to church, looking forward to heaven. Jesus does start with a spiritual…
War on Homeschooling – War on Freedom
I just read a distressing article at wnd.com about Swedish authorities storming an airplane commando style to take Dominic Johansson from his parents. The reason? Apparently because he was homeschooled! Here is a quote from the article: Annie and Dominic Johansson “‘Any nation that severely restricts the ability of parents to choose alternative forms of…
