Political Corruption Equivalent to Religion, according to British Judge
Ever wonder about the final straw that will bring down western civilization? A British judge may have created it. On November 3rd, Mr Justice Michael Burton, the same judge that allowed continued showing of An Inconvenient Truth to children in British schools even while recognizing it to be a dishonest political propaganda film decided... »
A Plea to the President to Attend Church
Dear Mr. President, Remember all the analysis immediately after your election this past November regarding where you and your family would attend church?

Christianity and Depravity in the Afterglow of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Each year, in early August, debate reemerges over the use of atomic weapons to end World War II. Some historians justify their use given the prospects for a long, bloody invasion of Japan. Conversely, other historians, along with liberal theologians, decry the bombing. Those historians argue Japan, near collapse, would have fallen soon. Tyler Wigg-Stevenson,... »

Liberal-Progressive Scientism vs. Religious Faith
Believing themselves to be guided solely by science, liberal-progressives swallow whole banquets of contradictory and unprovable hypotheses. Liberal-progressivism’s mantra is that only logical positivism has a place in public discussion. Logical positivism is defined, in part, to exclude any proposition outside the realm of mathematics or outside of assertions that can be validated by... »
The Long, Agonizing Decline of the United States
We are following the downward path of Great Britain, one of the two greatest of Western history’s empires. We can draw several cautionary lessons from the history of our British cousins. Of all the world’s nations we and the UK are most similar, both in our rise and in our decline. In addition... »
Spiritual Disciplines
Breaking the strongholds of darkness depends upon developing spiritual disciplines in our lives. Sunday’s sermon by Pastor Dan Gardner at the Cohocton Assembly of God Church was on the message of Matthew 17:14-21: 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he... »
Talking Jesus: Obama vs. Bush
There’s an important article in the Politico , titled, “Obama invokes Jesus more than Bush.” President Barack Obama, says the article, has mentioned Jesus Christ “in a number of high-profile public speeches,” more so than did President George W. Bush, and in much less “innocuous contexts.” Obama has done so in order to promote... »
Interfaith Dialogue: Let’s Talk Persecution
President Barack Obama plans to call for an improved dialogue with Islam in his upcoming speech in Egypt. All faiths would benefit from greater understanding. Yet no conversation will be complete if it does not address Islam’s persecution of Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities. Western efforts to reach out to Islam are increasing. However,... »
Barack Obama and Religion
Americans have long been fascinated with and sometimes disturbed by the faith of their presidents, and Barack Obama’s faith is no exception. U.S. News and World Report recently claimed that “Obama has embraced faith in a more visible way” than any other recent president, a remarkable statement given his predecessor. This issue also featured... »

Why Does God Allow Bad Things To Happen To Good People?
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Why does God allow suffering? Why does God allow evil? These are difficult questions to grapple with for Christians because since God is omnipotent, He does have it within His power to make this a heaven on earth. Moreover, since God cares about us,... »
Where in the universe is ET, The Extraterrestrial? Oxford’s Nick Bostrom hopes we never find out
In his article, Where Are They? Why I Hope the Search for Extraterrestrial Life Finds Nothing (PDF here), Oxford University’s Nick Bostrom has raised some very troubling questions. According to Bostrom, one must wonder what to make of the apparent absence of intelligent civilizations in the universe: the statistical probabilities suggest the universe ought to... »
Miss USA And The Ugly Counterculture
Those who demand tolerance from traditional America reveal themselves to be wholly intolerant of any opposing viewpoint. And as they hysterically decry as “hate” even the mildest form of disapproval on the grounds that it supposedly denies them their “right” to engage in every form of aberrant activity, it is they who employ hostile... »
Dancing Under the Ugandan Skies: A Triumph of Storytelling
Over the past few years I have had the privilege to have known a native Ugandan missionary named Mike Wangolo. He is the leader of a team of Africans called Afri-Tendo (http://www.thrustministries.org/) who make periodic trips to the United States to witness to Americans through native songs and dances. During his travels he has... »

And the #1 Cause of Global Warming is…
Last week on Fox News, Glenn Beck interviewed PETA spokesman Matt Prescott about a UN Report calling out the meat industry as the #1 cause of Global Warming. According to Prescott, the report issued by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “found that the meat industry causes more greenhouse gas emissions than all... »
John Updike and Me
I first encountered John Updike through his Roger’s Version, a cosmological and theological treatise disguised as a porno novel. Updike, as he admitted in Roger’s Version, is really a Marcionite Heretic. This ancient heresy, most recently advanced by the German theologian Karl Barth, holds that God is wholly other, completely unapproachable by reason: theology... »
