Imagine for a moment that you are walking along a beautiful country lane and you come upon a large, well-manicured estate. Intrigued you approach the residence and knock on the door. You are greeted by a man who invites you in while introducing himself as Napoleon Bonaparte. Another man standing near the doorway overhears this and challenges that assertion. In exasperation he tells the first man that he could not be Napoleon Bonaparte because he was God and knew he was Julius Caesar because he created him. Hearing this exchange you immediately realize that this estate is not an estate at all, but an institution. You realize you have happened upon an insane asylum. How did you come to this conclusion? You noticed no sign outside telling you the estate was an insane asylum. The grounds were well kept, virtually indistinguishable from any number of other properties you had seen. The man who invited you in was well d... |

If you have ever expressed your disagreement with the homosexual lifestyle you have likely had someone respond: “How does what a person does in the privacy of his home hurt you”? Answer: When what is done in the privacy of one’s home is sanctioned by the government it creates a legitimization for that action or lifestyle that inevitably invades the homes of others through the media – newspapers, TV, movies, the internet – through the schools – requiring students, regardless of religious or moral beliefs, to take classes with the purpose of indoctrinating them with the State’s values – through the law – criminalizing thoughts, words, or actions (Hate Crime Laws) the State deems offensive or intolerant. The truth of this statement is evident to all but the willfully blind. The media has been in the vanguard of legitimizing the homosexual lifestyle. Homosexually has been so mainstreamed that episodes on the Home and Garden TV network regularly feature segments of same-sex couple... |

When the judge was informed the Consent Decree she had brokered between the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and some religious nuts had been violated by two notorious criminals, she quickly took action. She ordered them to appear before her on September 17th to stand trial to ascertain whether they were indeed brazen enough to defy her. Obviously, U.S. District Judge M. Casey Rodgers is no one to mess with. She was going to ensure the people within her jurisdiction were safe from the evil she and the ACLU discovered was rampant at Pace High School in the Santa Rosa County School District in Florida. But what was this alleged crime that the ACLU and Judge Rodgers believed was so heinous, so evil, and so insidious that criminal contempt charges, charges that could result in a $5000 fine and/or six months in prison, needed to be leveled at high school principal, Frank Lay, and athletic director, Robert Freeman? Were they plotting a terrorist attack on the school? No. Were t... |

.In July The Episcopal Church (TEC) willfully dived off the edge of an immoral abyss by sanctioning the ordination of homosexuals and lesbians into every leadership position within the denomination. Schism within this 2 million member denomination that had been simmering for decades now became widespread. Thousands of Episcopalians awoke to the reality that their denomination was afflicted with advanced apostate cancer. Their earlier attempts to cure her from within by radiation (the Light of the Word) and surgery (the Sword of the Spirit) had failed. Through tears of mourning and agony of heart they realized that in order to save themselves from this spiritual death they must heed the call from heaven: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4-5 NASU). But cancer is an insidious disease with an insatiable appetite. That wa... |

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has once again come under fire for issuing grants that help fund pornographic and obscene “art”. The NEA was given $80 million from the federal government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to give as grants to a number of organizations it deemed worthy of financial support. But true to form the NEA has shown itself incapable of distinguishing between art and garbage. Consider the following grants the NEA awarded, according to Fox News, using the $80 million it received courtesy of our tax dollars: • $50,000 to Framline, a “gay and lesbian” film house that screened Thundercrack. This film is described as an “underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.” • $25,000 to CounterPULSE, a San Francisco based organization that produces a weekly event called “Perverts Put Out”. During the performance the guests are invited to “join your fellow pervs fo... |

Apostasy is a strong word. It is a word with a direct correlation with the Anti-Christ. Hence, it should not be used lightly in connection with a person, church, or denomination. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 says: “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come (the second coming of Christ) unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God” (NASU). The ESV translates “apostasy” as “rebellion”. Apostasy is an active rebellion against the true God (and thus, the truth) which leads to the ascension of false gods and false teachings within the heart of the Believer and within the doctrines of a church or denomination. Therefore, to say a person or organization is guilty of apostasy is a serious accusation. But to remain silent and turn a blind eye to the truth when d... |

June was National LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered) Pride Month. To honor this occasion President Barack Obama held a reception in the East Room of the White House. It was an opportunity Obama took advantage of to mend strained relations between himself and the homosexual community that he had courted during his campaign. Obama had promised to overturn DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act), to change the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy used by the military in regards to homosexuals serving in the military, and to pass a comprehensive hate crimes law that would place homosexuals into a federally protected class that subjects offenders to excessive fines and prison. Homosexual activists had become critical not only of Obama’s lack of speed in fulfilling these promises, but his apparent attempt to placate some Christians’ concerns toward supporting him by watering down the language used on the White House webpage outlining his commitments to their agenda. They were angry ... |

Should pedophiles be placed in a federally protected class to ensure their lifestyle is not maligned by someone having the audacity to say pedophilia is reprehensible or, heaven forbid, even sinful, since such speech could incite a deranged individual or group to ill-treat them? I believe most people would emphatically say no to such a question while wondering what the inquirer had been smoking. And the thought of the federal government to even consider such protection to pedophiles does seem ludicrous. But if you have not noticed the branches of the U.S. government specialize in such absurdities. Senate bill S.909 (House bill HR1913) is a case in point. Known as the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (also as the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act) this bill would add gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity to the list of protected categories under current federal hate crimes laws. Passage of this bill is high on the agenda of hom... |

Are pro-life advocates complicit in the murder of George Tiller? Ellen Goodman wants you to believe so. Her column in the Billings Gazette insinuates that though the suspected killer physically acted alone, his actions are the result of a pro-life community that, instead of adamantly (or sincerely) denouncing those with extreme anti-abortion passions, inflames those passions by “casually refer[ring] to abortion as murder”, calling Obama the “most pro-abortion president ever” , “ratchet[ing] up the rhetoric on a Supreme Court nominee”, or “cull[ing] doctors from their honored profession by labeling them ‘abortionists’. Would Goodman prefer to call abortion a blessing as was done by Katherine Ragsdale, an Episcopal priest, in a 2007 sermon? Would she prefer to call Obama’s abortion viewpoint one of moderation, when as an Illinois state senator, he voted against a bill that would require medical treatment be administered to a baby born alive after a botched abortion rather than a... |

After weeks of contentious rhetoric as to whether it was not only proper for Notre Dame to invite President Obama to deliver the 2009 commencement speech, but to receive an honorary law degree from the university, the moment had arrived. The students and faculty inside the auditorium emphatically answered that question with resounding affirmation. They rose to their feet in thunderous applause as Obama received his degree and again as he strode toward the pulpit …er podium, to deliver his speech after an eloquent introduction by Father Jenkins. At the same time these individuals were exposing the spiritual deadness within them with their adoration of a radically pro-death President, pro-life martyrs – including Norma McCorvey, the Roe of the infamous Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in America – were being arrested on Notre Dame’s campus for having the courage to give a voice to the unborn, a voice the spiritually dead are deaf to. Notre... |
