"I walk through this sinful world as a 

pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

ISIS, ISIL, IS... what ever. That name is dead to me, any of those names are acronyms I refuse to use any more. Primarily because IS stands for "Islamic State" which gives those agents of Satan a legitimacy they do not deserve. Instead I'm going to follow the example of the House of Commons and refer to these savages and murderers as Daesh. The word Daesh is an adapted acronym of their Arabic name - Dawlat al-Islamiyah f'al-Iraq w Belaad al-Sham - is similar to another Arabic word - das - which means 'to trample down' or 'crush', and these thugs don't like it. They never explain why they don't like it, they just don't. They don't like it so much, they have threatened to cut the tongues out of anyone that uses it. That's a way to raise the opinions of anyone you want to impress - threaten to mutilate them.

In the words of former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott  "Daesh hates being referred to by this term, and what they don't like has an instinctive appeal to me." So yeah - Daesh Daesh Daesh. What are you going to do? Kill me? You can't threaten me with Heaven.

A great explanation why we Christians need to stand against the acts of depravity that God condemns and this sick society loves.

Religion of Peace Update #1 - Mr Obama (you remember him, right?) has said that  Islam was “woven into the fabric” of the United States since its founding. To be totally honest, he's absolutely correct. He's clearly counting on his audience not knowing enough history to understand the truth of his statement. Click on the link for a history lesson.

Religion of Peace Update #2 - Mr Obama (you remember him, right?) has said that  Islam was “woven into the fabric” of the United States since its founding. To be totally honest, he's absolutely correct.... oh wait,  I said that already. Well it's true, and it's also true that Mr. Obama knows that the average American is too ignorant of history to realize the foul truth behind his condescending statement. History is the greatest story that can ever be told, it's also the most heart breaking.

Religion of Peace Update #3 - A hacker from Kosovo hacked an on-line retailer in Illinois and  put together a “kill list” for Daesh with the identities of 1,351 U.S. government and military

Please Mr. Worship leader, if you're going to insist on playing performance pieces that the congregation can only sit and watch, please play this. I can (and often do) listen to this all day long. (And please dear reader, if you know of any Christian congregation that plays this kind of music in their service in the north Denver/Greely/Loveland area PLEASE tell me)

Just because you're a Christian it does not mean that you're immune to ignorance. That being said, I aver that if ignorance is bliss, the editor that allowed this story to be published must be ecstatic. (hey - if this Random Bit generates a lot of comments, bring them!)

I love Dr. Tony Evans! There's even a mountain in Colorado named after us. I can't say enough about his recent sermon on race. Please preach it from the mountain tops, even ours.
