"I walk through this sinful world as a 

pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

Expository Preaching: Not only is it good, it's good for you!

 “I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness — yes, I drank the goat’s blood.” Florida politics at its finest.

I have no words for this. Except maybe "You were warned."

Breaking News! - the world did not come to an end this week. The ghost of Harold Camping's false prophesy still haunts Christianity.

Scientists now claim that they can tell if a baby is going to grow up to be homosexual by studying the DNA of the child. This sets my mind to thinking - if they really can do this, then they'll be able to determine if an unborn child is going to be homosexual. Since we know that Planned Parenthood is perfectly ok with slaughtering unborn children based solely on their sex in what they call "sex selective abortions" what is going to happen if people start showing up saying that they don't want to have a homosexual child? Will that "nonviable tissue mass" suddenly have human rights? Will we see homosexuals protesting abortion clinics who dare threaten 'their' children? And what is going to happen when a homosexual couple find out that their fetus is not going to grow up to be a sodomite? It's a Romans 1 world...

Pastor Joe Schimmel at GoodFight Ministries finally updated his blog Cup O' Joe with a great article on Justin Beiber. This is a great read even if you care nothing about Justin Beiber or the whole popular culture, because like everthing Pastor Joe writes about, it always comes back to Jesus (Come on Pastor Joe - 7 posts in 10 months is not nearly enough!)

Men pretending to be women are upset that Obamacare doesn't support their sin as much as they want.

Christian champion golfer Jordan Spieth. No news here, just an awesome kid.


Bring your bible to school day - the reaction of the liberals to kids bringing their bibles to school would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad and predictable. I was waiting for a left wing hand wringer to complain that it would make illiterate high school students feel "uncomfortable and discriminated" to see their fellow students reading a thick book.

Religion of Peace Update #1 - To convince a Syrian Christian to convert to Islam, ISIS tortures his son, cuts his sons finger tips off, tortures the Christian, crucifies both along with two other men. They they attack a group of eight aid workers, raping the women then beheading all eight. This was all done before a crowd.

Religion of Peace Update #2 - Three more Assyrian Christians have been martyred by ISIS; Dr. Abdul Maeesh Nuya, Bassam Issam Mishaell, and an unidentified third are executed with a bullet to the head. Three more Christians; Zayed George Elia, William Yuhanna Milhem, and Martin Temres Temresare lined up behind the corpses of the dead Nazarenes and are forced to say that there are more of their brothers that ISIS plans to execute.

Religion of Peace Update #3 - ISIS is claiming responsibility for the mass murder at Umpqua Community College. "Not surprising. Lining up Christians and shooting them in the head is one of their religious rituals"

Religion of Peace Update #4 - ISIS threatens to murder the president of the United States

Christianity has been purged from the chapel at Wichita State University

A clear sign that summer has just ended: the atheists have started weeping and gnashing their teeth over Christmas.

Satan and demons manifesting themselves in our nation - Ever see the Benham brothers show on HGTV? No. You didn't see it because HGTV cancelled it before the first episode aired. It seems the Benham brothers affirming the sanctity of traditional marriage doesn't meet the standards of HGTV. The Benham brothers are incredible witnesses, here they speak about evil in our world.

In the dark of the night work crews quietly removed a Ten Commandments monument from Oklahoma capitol grounds. Not calling anyone names or anything but John 3:19-21 comes to mind.

Hugh Jackman, best known as Wolverine in the X-Men movies is set to play the Apostle Paul in an upcoming movie on the life of Paul. In a surprising twist, Hollywood has chosen a Christian to play the role of a Christian. (For Hollywood this is very surprising)

Clueless in the pews - 38% of Catholics believe that Mr. Pope supports homosexual faux-marriage. Although Mr. Pope has not shown support for this particular sin he has been "mealy-mouthed on the issue of homosexual sin and homosexual marriage" As the author of the article says "...people have a responsibility to find God’s Truth on their own. Relying on a Pope or anyone else is lazy and foolish and risky in the extreme." Mr. Pope actually had to stop pontifficating (see what I did there?) about global warming and release this statement stating that homosexual faux-marriage is not an acceptable sin (if you have Google Chrome it will translate the web page for you)

but... but... but... Mr. Pope is infallible! isn't he? He couldn't follow bad advice, could he?
