Church and Politics: Has the Christian withdrawl from politics contributed to Obama era Hyper Partisainship?

There has been weekly is not more frequent accusations of racism and Nazism since Obama became the president. These attacks are unjust and in nearly all cases have no evidence. They are not exposing truth they are creating chaos. They are themselves acts of hatred. They do not bring people together on truth they remove people from participation.

If Jesus were in Washington (I am not suggesting he would be) he would most likely rebuke such hatred. All people ha… Continue

Church and Politics: Pro-Life vs Pro-Choice; now pro-salt is a political issue.

Cross posted on At The Water Cooler

Many Christians say the Church should stay out of political issues. They suggest that politics is worldly and something that Christians should not be a part of.

Romans 12.2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the w… Continue

Obama and Democratic Press poison the well on Immigration reform

Cross posted from At The Water Cooler Any serious improvements on immigration require a change from the status quo of only enforcing immigration laws on points of entry. It is not equal justice to have one set of laws at entry points and a different set of laws for those who evade legal points of entry. It is not equal justice when one group of people are all… Continue

Are we only resisting or are we ready for victory?

Are we ready for God’s blessings? Are we limiting what is possible because of lack of belief? John 4:48 is a very unusual verse in the middle of a passage about the restoration of a Galilean boy. “‘Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,’ Jesus told him, ‘you will never believe.’” 49 – “The royal official said, ‘Sir, come down before my child dies.’” 50 Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed. The verb used by royal official was o… Continue

Say a lie enough times and others will repeat it.

Cross posted from At The Water Cooler The title is playing with the saying "repeat a lie enough times and others will believe it." Many times these repeated lies are based on fallacies, which until they start to be repeated are ignored. These lies do not solve problems - it is often not clear when they are lies that will vanish because of how foolish they are or if they need… Continue

Main Stream Media vs the Tea Party – is the voice of the people winning?

Cross posted from At The Water Cooler The media would have you believe that an individuals voice does not mean a lot. That one person or 12 people can not change the course of a city, the country or the world. The good book will have you believe that they can - as fishers of men. The main stream media has viewed the Tea Party as something it must fight against. The… Continue

Does Louis Faracon’s judgments of teapartiers expose his own motives?

Cross posted from At The Water Cooler

Judging somebody else's motives is dicey one can not see into the heart of another. Take for example somebody who picks up an item laying outside and locks it in the back of "his" car - covered up from view. Lets assume the item is something that would clearly not be his, lets also assume the item can be identified as belonging to an address down the street.

Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver hearing evil voices that others can not hear.

Pro-lifers have learned to always, always, have a video camera running. This video was not from a "teapartier" rather it is from Jesse Jackson JR video cam. At these moments Emmanuel Cleaver says he heard chanting of the N-word at least 15 times.

This is not the only video of this period while Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver heard the evil chanting. A $15,000 reward has been offered to anybody that… Continue

Important Read: Christians Should Not Use the Government to Do THEIR Good Deeds

About 1700 years ago, a certain Roman emperor by the name of Julian the Apostate reigned. He was called the 'Apostate' because of his fierce rejection of Christianity and his sometimes brutal attempt to repress it. Julian was smart. He knew that he could not just eradicate Christianity without dealing with the things that made it attractive. In response, Julian The Apostate launched government philanthropic programs in an attempt to render the Christian message impotent. The astute Christian rea… Continue
