pilgrim in a foreign country" - CH Spurgeon

Let's start out with some good news: Are you a News Junkie? Does your day start by pouring over the Drudge Report, or Breitbart, or Bad Blue, or PJ Media, or... or... or is that just me? I like reading the news over a cup of coffee, but the vast majority of the news sites are aimed toward a small segment of society; the ultraliberal. I like my news both right and correct. 

If you want your morning news without the blathering of Christianity Astray Today, or the unGodly nonsense of Chrisma news, or the mindnumbing  nonstop ads of many of the other Christian news sites, I have found something that is an answer to the Christian news junkie's prayers. Adam4d who gave us those great Christian web comics has created the Christian Daily Reporter.  I really like this site. Thank you Adam4d!

A shipping disaster of biblical proportions. Really, it is!

The benefits of religion cannot be ignored. Here's one benefit I didn't expect:
“A child whose parents attend church regularly is 40 to 50 percent more likely to go on to college than a matched child of non-attenders.” - sociologist Robert Putnam

Prosperity pimp false teacher Kenneth Copeland has a new ride, According to his homies the Holy Spirit set aside a sweet Gulfstream V just for the Ken-meister, then dropped a check for $40 million so Kenny C can ride to the bank in style. But tell the Holy Spirit not to put that checkbook away, Our Man Ken needs $2.5 million for upgrades (I mean seriously, you can't expect someone like Kenneth Copland to fly to his next goat fleecing in a pedestrian luxury aircraft, can you?) and a meager $17 million for a new hanger ( the carpet in the old one is showing it's age) (ok, that's funny if you have ever been an aircraft mechanic) and landscaping on the runway.

“We are living in the most significant and important time in Bible-prophecy history – with the least amount of interest in the Church,”

Perry Noble defends his foul mouth by using foul language. I looked up his defense and he got that wrong too, he can't get skubalon right.
