    University Takes “Christ” Out of Christianity

    University Takes “Christ” Out of Christianity

    According to email correspondence from the university, the group’s constitution was not approved because the university took issue with a requirement that leaders have a “personal commitment to Jesus Christ.”

    “Please change the following statement in your constitution,” a university official wrote to the group.

    The original statement read: “Criteria for officer selection will include level and quality of past involvement, personal commitment to Jesus Christ, commitment to the organization, and demonstrated leadership ability.”

    The university directed the group to change the statement to read: “Criteria for officer selection will include level and quality of past involvement, commitment to the organization, and demonstrated leadership ability.”

    Ironically, Vanderbilt University was founded as a Methodist institution established for the purpose of practicing – among other things – theology.

  • Telling People About Jesus, “Really a Nuisance”

    Telling People About Jesus, “Really a Nuisance”

    Telling people about Jesus Christ may be a nuisance, but if we do not tell them, the Lord will hold us accountable for our silence. For reasons known only to the Lord, He has ordained that the Good News of Salvation be declared by human beings, to other human beings. God did not proclaim the Gospel by Angels or by supernatural means. He has left the responsibility for the eternal souls of people, to us.

    Saving people is not our responsibility, but telling them about how they can find forgiveness of their sins and eternal life, is our job.

    Jesus, in a manner of speaking said: “You catch then, I will clean them”.

    If we humbly and lovingly tell those whom we come in contact with that God is ready to forgive their sins and grant eternal life to all who come to God in Jesus name, then we have done all that He requires. If we are afraid and fear what they might say to us, or how they would react when we share the Lord with them, then they may be lost for our lack of courage.

    Signs of the Last Days: Arrested for Reading the Bible

    Signs of the Last Days: Arrested for Reading the Bible

    The video begins with Mark Mackey opening his Bible.

    “Good morning, everyone,” he says to a group of 15 onlookers waiting outside the Hemet California Division of Motor Vehicles. “I would like to read a little bit of the word of God this morning.”

    The video, shot in February of last year, ends with Mackey’s arrest.

    “You can preach on your own property,” an officer from the California Highway Patrol tells Mackey as he leads him away in handcuffs. “Folks, this is what the United States is coming to,” Mackey says to the crowd, who were standing outside waiting for the DMV to open. “You can talk about anything you want, but you can’t talk about the Bible.”

    Mackey is a reverend with Calvary Chapel Hemet, a conservative Christian church that practices an “evangelical ministry,” requiring public testimonials and Scripture readings.

    Church officials believe Mackey was arrested because of “Christian bigotry.”

    The officer who made the arrest disagrees, claiming he arrested Mackey for preaching to a public audience who had no choice but to listen.

    “You’re not allowed to preach here,” he told Mackey, “because this is a captive audience.”

    Teaching the Bible, A Hate Crime?

    Teaching the Bible, A Hate Crime?

    There have been numerous questions regarding whether or not churches, and specifically pastors, can teach the portions of the Bible that deal with subjects such as homosexuality, and be guilty of a “hate crime”.

    An interesting and informative article by Attorney Richard R. Hammar, reveals the issues at hand, and the legal rights that Pastors have as teachers of the Bible.

  • Being a Christian at NASA Will Cost You Your Job

    Being a Christian at NASA Will Cost You Your Job

    Since it’s inception, the Theory of Evolution has remained just that “A Theory”. It has never been proven by evidence that links lower primates to human beings, yet it is used in all of our schools and accepted widely by most of the world’s secular intellectuals, as fact.

    Now, if you subscribe to any other theory for the origin of the Universe and the fact of man’s existence, you are labeled ignorant, uninformed and naive .

    At the United States NASA headquarters, if you are not a believer in the religion of evolution, you cannot belong to their church.

    An evangelical Christian, David Coppedge, has been fired from his job of 15 years for believing in God and the theory that the Universe and man were both created by an infinite intelligent being.

    The following article is from the Associated Press. For a Christian, this firing is both shocking and frightening. That a man or woman could lose their career now for believing in God and expressing that faith while at work, is a travesty of every law of freedom the US. has been founded upon.

  • “Free Exercise of Religion” Not Allowed in North Carolina

    “Free Exercise of Religion” Not Allowed in North Carolina

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

    First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

    The Supreme court has ruled that prayer specifically referring to the name “Jesus Christ” cannot be spoken during any meeting in Forsyth County, North Carolina.

    Where is the correct balance between establishing a particular religion over other religions, and the prohibition of any religion?

    If religion is to be allowed at all in the United States, it must be unimpeded by the government. To allow prayer to be conducted during a meeting, but restrict the structure of that prayer, is a clear violation of the free exercise and freedom of speech clauses of the first Amendment of the Constitution.

  • Stand Up For Jesus, And Be Used By Him

    Stand Up For Jesus, And Be Used By Him

    I just read an amazing article on Fox News about Denver Bronco’s Quarterback Tim Tebow. His desire to be visibly outspoken for Jesus has continually allowed the Lord to use him to be a witness for the truth of Jesus message to the world. It just goes to show that if we take a step of courage and begin to really live our lives for Jesus by letting the people know who we come into contact with everyday about Jesus, He will use us to bring Glory to His name.

    The Lord is coming for all of us soon, the signs of his appearing are all around us. The opportunities to tell people about Jesus are also all around us every day. I pray that we might all be more bold to live our lives like we actually believe the Bible is true and that Jesus is the Savior of the world…

    Hope this article blesses and inspires you as much as it did me. “May you receive much glory Jesus from each one of our lives…”

  • Atheists Seek to Rewrite History

    Atheists Seek to Rewrite History

    There are certain facts in life that cannot be disputed. George Washington was the first president of the United States of America, that is a fact of history. The Civil War brought America to a battle with itself over the issue of slavery. On September 11, 2001, the twin towers in New York tumbled to the ground after a terrorist attack.

    In Bethlehem, nearly two thousand years ago, a tiny baby was born who is the Savior of the World.

    The facts of Jesus birth, life, death, and resurrection, are a matters of history. There are more documents that prove the facts of Jesus life, death, and resurrection from the dead, than any other event of human history. Why then are various atheists groups trying to re-write history and claim that the gospel accounts of Jesus Christ are a myth?

    Presidential Candidate Rick Perry and the Rights of Christians

    Presidential Candidate Rick Perry and the Rights of Christians

    Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry has decided to address the big elephant in the pew as we head into 2012 – the Obama administration’s relationship with religion – specifically Christianity.

    “As president, I’ll end Obama’s war on religion,” Perry declared in a new television advertisement. “And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.”

    Perry’s declaration immediately resonated with millions of Christians around the nation who believe their faith is under attack and who’ve been waiting for a Republican presidential candidate to have the candor and moral fortitude to stand up and articulate why we are truly the greatest nation on the face of the Earth.

    “I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate or pray in school.”

    Thanksgiving, November 1, 1777

    Thanksgiving, November 1, 1777

    It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive powers of these United States, to set apart Thursday, the 18th day of December next, for solemn thanksgiving and praise; that with one heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts, and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor; and that together with their sincere acknowledgments and offerings, they may join the penitent confession of their manifold sins, whereby they had forfeited every favor, and their humble and earnest supplication that it may please God, through the merits of Jesus Christ, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of remembrance; that it may please him graciously to afford his blessings on the governments of these states respectively, and prosper the public council of the whole; to inspire our commanders both by land and sea, and all under them, with that wisdom and fortitude which may render them fit instruments, under the providence of Almighty God, to secure for these United States the greatest of all blessings, independence and peace; that it may please him to prosper the trade and manufactures of the people and the labor of the husbandman, that our land may yield its increase; to take schools and seminaries of education, so necessary for cultivating the principles of true liberty, virtue and piety, under his nurturing hand, and to prosper the means of religion for the promotion and enlargement of that kingdom which consisteth in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

  • The Return of Jesus and the Acceptance of Sin

    The Return of Jesus and the Acceptance of Sin

    As we approach the return of Jesus for His church, world-wide the acceptance of sin is increasing dramatically. Young people who claim that they love Jesus, yet live together in the same home without being married to each other. Men and women who claim to be Christians, yet live in a homosexual or lesbian relationship.

    Rather than offend those who live in these lifestyles, Christians say nothing, hiding behind the phrase “I just love them and accept them the way they are…”

    Jesus said that when we accept the sin of a confessing follower of him and say nothing about it, that he will hold us accountable for our indecisiveness.

    Florida Teacher Suspended For Gay Opposition on Facebook

    Florida Teacher Suspended For Gay Opposition on Facebook

    An article this morning at Fox News is one more example of why the gay marriage/homosexual lifestyle controversy has gone too far.

    It seems that a Florida Teacher with a perfect teaching record has been suspended for private comments that he made on his own Facebook page.

    For this writer, when the day arrives that the constitution no longer protects my right to express my opinion on Facebook, this web site, or any other medium, in opposition to a moral question that I find extremely important, they can lock me up and throw away the key. I will not, nor should any Christian, be silent about the unreasonable and horrific course the United States is on granting equal rights to those who chose a reprobate lifestyle.

  • The First Amendment and Stupid Christians

    The First Amendment and Stupid Christians

    I know, the title of this article is a little offensive. I debated whether or not to write on this subject at all. The Supreme Court’s decision over the rights of a church to protest during the funeral of a soldier who was killed in Iraq has caused a tsunami of emotion.

    On Wednesday of this week the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment of the Constitution does protect the speech of church members who do not have a brain.

    The court voted 8-1 in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. The decision upheld an appeals court ruling that threw out a $5 million judgment to the father of a dead Marine who sued church members after they picketed his son’s funeral.

    If You Are a Traditional Christian, You’re In Trouble

    Do you believe that the Bible is the Word of God? Do you pray, go to church and believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven? Then you are in danger.

    A british couple were told that they are not “The right kind of Christians” to be foster parents. They are Pentecostal, Fundamentalist Christians who believe that homosexuality is a sin and a perversion of God’s creation.

    When applying for a new license to give foster care to children, this Christian couple were turned down in their application because they were “Too Christian”.

  • America: Want God’s Blessing? Be a Blessing to God

    America: Want God’s Blessing? Be a Blessing to God

    I watched with great interest the president’s speech this morning on rebuilding the economic prosperity of America. It was a great and inspiring speech and contained many important and relevant facts that inspired me and is the reason that I am writing this post.

    The key element of President Obama’s speech that was missing was the fact that America has been blessed by God in her past history because the citizens of this great land have honored and worshipped the God of the Bible.

    The founders of our nation stated that it was impossible that this land could have come into existence if God had not willed it to be. The reason for our past prosperity and global standing as the most wealthy and powerful nation on the earth is because as a people, we have in the past honored God.

    “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” – George Washington

    The Problem With Atheists: Babies Are Not Human

    The Problem With Atheists: Babies Are Not Human

    One of the 25 most influential atheists in the world today has gone on record to say that he does not believe that a baby inside it’s mother’s womb is a human being.

    P. Z. Myers also said that it is birth that makes a baby a human being.

    Interesting, I wonder what the baby is while it is still inside it’s mother’s womb? If two human beings place their genetic material together could they produce anything else except a human being?

    I remember when my oldest son Rob was born some 30 years ago. I was the typical nervous father trying to remain strong and emanate confidence to my frightened wife. During that time they had just started allowing expectant fathers into the delivery room provided they had gone through the required classes.

    I looked at the birth with awe and shock as my son slipped his way out of his mother looking more like a Lizard than a human being. If you had asked me during that time if a baby was a human being I think I would have said “No Way”.

    Since that time I have been educated in the facts of child birth and have watched a second son be born. I know now that being red and green and yellow and covered in a slimy goo is a normal part of human birth.

  • Your Astrological Sign Has Changed, Not God’s Word

    Your Astrological Sign Has Changed, Not God’s Word

    People around the world awoke today to the news that their Astrological Signs have changed. Many asked what they were supposed to do now. They felt as though they had lost their personal identity.

    Thousands of years ago when the name of the stars were called by their Biblical name “The Mazaroth”, people understood that the names of the twelve constellations contained the names of stars that told the story of the redemption of man.

    It was at the tower of Babel that the names of these twelve constellations became corrupted and changed into a way to predict the future of a person’s life that today is refereed to as “Astrology”. What God intended as a display His glory and the message of redemption, satan has corrupted and placed before man as a way to know the future.

    For more on this study in the 12 constellations, see the forthcoming study: “Gospel in the Stars”.

    It is terrible when you base your whole life on a set of ideals that suddenly, and without warning are changed. Therein is the problem with trusting in anything that man creates, it is constantly changing.

    The so called experts of astrology claimed that this sudden shift in the astrological signs is nothing new.

    They claim that this has been happening for thousands of years. That is for certain. Everything that man says and does is constantly changing. That is why none of us should put any trust in what any human being says or does. We should be trusting in the word of our God

  • Preaching Against Homosexuality is Now a Hate Crime

    Preaching Against Homosexuality is Now a Hate Crime

    The Southern Poverty Law Center this week labeled as “hate groups” several political and religious organizations that campaign against same-sex marriage and, the center says, engage in “repeated, groundless name-calling” against gays and lesbians.

    Included on the list released by the civil rights organization is the Family Research Council, a prominent and politically influential group of social conservatives. The report by the law center, which has spent four decades tracking extremist groups and hate speech, accuses the council and a dozen other groups of putting out “demonizing propaganda aimed at homosexuals and other sexual minorities.”

    The report, which has sparked debate across the Internet, taps into the continuing potency of social issues, such as same-sex marriage, in American politics. Several of the groups described in the report supported a successful effort to oust state Supreme Court judges in Iowa because of a unanimous ruling last year that legalized same-sex unions.

    The Family Research Council has been at the forefront of political activism against same-sex marriage. In explaining the decision to put the council on its hate-groups list, the law center highlighted comments by Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow for policy studies at the council, who told MSNBC host Chris Matthews this year that he thinks “homosexual behavior” should be outlawed.
