Man for All Seasons: Chuck Baldwin Garners Nod for President of the United States
To some, Chuck Baldwin is the consummate Christian minister. To others, he’s a one-man think-tank studying, researching and analyzing the human condition within today’s American society.
One minute he’s leading a church service for one a large Christian congregation in Florida. Next minute, you’ll hear Rev. Baldwin telling his audience why he’s against killing innocent, newborn [...]
‘Conservative’ Christian’s ‘Manifesto’ Has Few Conservatives Involved
-By Warner Todd Huston
On May 2, the Associated Press uncritically reported that an effort to clarify where “evangelicals” stand in the culture/political war in America is soon to be released. It is to be called “An Evangelical Manifesto” and is touted by the AP as a statement by “evangelicals” that “faith is now too political.” [...]

Ceasefires in Islam: Not Always What They Seem to Be
It seems as though every other day we hear there is another “ceasefire” in the Middle East. This is chiefly because there is so much violent Islamofascist aggression throughout the Middle East but it is also because of something more. Just as there is no exact translation between the Arabic and English languages, we in [...]

Europe: The Dark Continent
The light of God’s truth has been snuffed out in Europe, now the least Christian and the most secularized and socialized part of the world.
This week, Black Rock Congregational Church is focusing on worldwide missionary programs and the 20-plus missionaries that the church supports. In that connection, rather than a traditional sermon, we at [...]
A Virtuous Woman as seen in Proverbs 31
Much of the last chapter of Proverbs is dedicated to describing the characteristics of “a virtuous woman.” Verse 10 asks, “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”
It is interesting to examine the qualities that such a woman is said to possess as well as the affects she is said [...]

Cheap Grace
Reactions of some nominal Christians to the message of Pope Benedict XVI are nothing more than liberal-progressive-socialistic “toleration.”
In his April 18th column for the Washington Post, E. J. Dionne, Jr. expresses the misgivings of liberal-progressives who enjoy the ritual of religion, but don’t want to be bothered with following the teachings of Jesus.
Mr. Dionne writes:

The god That Failed New Orleans
Why does much of New Orleans still look as if the 2005 devastation of Hurricane Katrina had occurred just a few weeks ago?
Huge areas of New Orleans still are wastelands. New Orleans’s liberal-progressive-socialist Senator Mary Landrieu has grabbed far more than her share of Congressional pork. Hundreds of millions of Federal dollars spent [...]
Clarification: Polygyny rather than polygamy is the term and the practice
There is a current scandal involving the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a group that is often said to practice “polygamy” as are other, often unrelated, groups in which a man may be married to more than one woman.
I think this whole question is confused by the use of the word [...]
