The PC Wars of 2010 and Beyond - Spiritual wickedness in high places By : Rev Michael Bresciani How we love to say that when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor she awakened a sleeping giant. We hate to hear that when the giant went back to sleep a generation of progressive liberalism snuck into the textbooks, the minds and, now; very deeply into the hearts of our young. Words: Can America ignore these flags of moral decline? By : Rev Michael Bresciani In the recent meeting with the Republicans in Baltimore, President Obama seemed to listen carefully, he moderated somewhat rigidly and, later decided to disregard just about everything he heard. He decided to barrel ahead in his effort to give us a healthcare bill whether we like it or not. Politically Correct Catchwords We Hide Behind By : Rev Michael Bresciani The idioms of the PC bent are more prevalent in politics than in any other sphere of American life. The general use of PC terms seems to have gravitated largely to the liberal side of the block. Rather than being the sought after new kid on the block; PC usage has become a cloud of subterfuge and disingenuousness. Choices and Chances – Does America Know the Difference? By : Rev Michael Bresciani In an era where change is touted it is becoming apparent that most of what is being offered as change is really just taking a chance. Many of the changes offered are being rejected because they seem to be flattening our freedom to make a choice, with one exception. Let’s see. Dawkins on Haiti – Robertson True to Christian Theology? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Bill O’Reilly was the first to bring up Pat Robertson’s statement on the Haitian pact with the devil to rid them of French rule. Bill said he didn’t agree with Pat but Dawkins says in an article posted online that at least Robertson is true to his own theology. American Style Homeostasis – The Times they are a Changing By : Rev Michael Bresciani The effect time has on all humans has created the science of homeostasis. The idea was first put forth by French physiologist Claude Bernard in 1865. Bernard discovered that all living organisms have internal “multiple dynamic equilibria adjustment and regulation mechanisms.” In simple terms, that means we all have an internal clock. Looming Catastrophe By : Felix Amiri Economic Collapse, H1N1, SARS, Avian Flu, Aids, tsunamis, earthquake in Haiti, etc . . . What can be more deadly? A LOVING PEOPLE By : Willetta Pilcher God’s love never forces. It always seeks the permission of the one loved. Humanity is invited to accept His love, to voluntarily place themselves under His authority. If you choose not to accept His invitation He will allow you to experience the consequences of your own choice even though He is often blamed for it. 2009 the year of the lie – 2010 the year of reckoning By : Rev Michael Bresciani Those who think truth is a relative mix of situation ethics, existentialist mind wresting and just doing what feels good, usually don’t bother with questions about what is true. Old Dogs, Fat Cats and Generational Lies By : Rev Michael Bresciani In a fairer world I could spend my time talking about the beautiful music and sentiments of country music composer Tom T. Hall’s classic song, Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine. The golden nostalgia in Hall’s song is all but lost in an Obama world of ‘Change we can hardly recognize.’ Bet let’s not complain, let’s just dig in and see just why this is so. The Manhattan Declaration - To Every Thing there is a Season By : Rev Michael Bresciani News shows across America showed clips of American Idol star Adam Lambert’s overt sexual behavior at the recent American Music Awards. Almost all the clips were preceded with advisories and warnings. When discussed it was a single comment made on the Fox News outlet that beat all. The Quality of Mercy – Soldiers of These United States By : Rev Michael Bresciani Almost everyone in America has been somehow affected by the recent events at the Ft Hood Army Base. The events seemed particularly intense because only days later Americans honored those who served in Veterans Day observances around the nation. Ft. Hood Massacre - Psychological or Theological Problem? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Nidal Malik Hasan is charged with shooting and killing 13 people and wounding 29 more on U.S. Army base Ft. Hood in Texas this week. Everyone is scrambling for answers and the first experts consulted have been psychiatrists’. Letter to President Obama, By : Richard Turner The reign of terror is broken for all to see, they that perpetrated the wickedness has come to nought. So You Don’t Think Religion and Politics Make a Good Mix? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Most of the journalists I know are not bloggers but bloggers wouldn’t have half as much to say if it weren’t for those writers. After one blogger responded to an article I wrote entitled “Religion and Politics Don’t Mix –A Modern Fairy Tale” I made this reply. Be it article or blog I knew it must be shared. Religion and Politics Don’t Mix – A Modern Fairy Tale By : Rev Michael Bresciani America is a land of many contradictions possibly born out of her love for freedom. Some are comical while others are harmful. Most go completely un-noticed because they are often voiced and repeated but rarely ever examined or scrutinized. One of the top falsehoods that have become common wisdom is that ‘religion and politics don’t mix.’ Why is this not true? Obama - The Gods Must Be Crazy By : Rev Michael Bresciani In 1980 Mimosa Films released a film comedy starring a Kalahari bushman named only N!xau, don’t ask for the pronunciation, who not only bears a remarkable physical likeness to Barack Obama but the plot of the award winning film has several similarities to the life of the President. Let’s see. The Race Card - The Hidden Ace of the Cheater? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Although America is a fledgling young nation among older countries and civilizations she probably could use the adage “I’ve forgotten more about freedom and opportunity than you will ever know” to the rest of the world without looking the slightest bit pompous. Fawcett, McMahon, Jackson, and Cronkite: Did they ask the Question? By : Rev Michael Bresciani Estimates are that about 9,500 people die per day in America. That means thousands of special services are carried on daily to honor the departed and ponder our own mortality. When celebrities or iconic figures die we are moved on a national scale to weigh our own brief stay on the planet. But what do we actually ponder and what questions does the death of icons provoke? America: In the Beginning of Sorrows By : Rev Michael Bresciani Not everyone is directly affected by the latest injustices or is a victim of a crime but it is impossible not to be touched in some way by the absurdities and atrocities we see all around us everyday. Who is not made sad just hearing of these things? Rights and Wrongs By : Jan Ross What happens when an Ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven serves in the military? Should that Ambassador surrender his or her spiritual citizenship and be silenced while in active duty? Is it wrong for an Ambassador to live his or her faith, fulfill the Great Commission, and honorably discharge their duties and responsibilities to the military at the same time? Obama at Notre Dame: It’s About Lives not Opinions By : Rev Michael Bresciani The administrators at Notre Dame had it in mind to foster tolerance and diversity with those of differing opinions. Among the graduating class a few students had Obama’s circle logo pasted on their caps leaving no doubt what was in their minds. What Ever Happened to Dignity: The Itching of America By : Rev Michael Bresciani How inspired is the race in the Congress to protect all the sexual orientations that have emerged of late. Are they really threatened? Shouldn’t someone tell the Congress that most Americans have not even heard of most of them yet? Twisted H.R. 1913 Passes House Committee – Worst Attack on First Amendment Freedoms of Speech, Religion in American History By : Rev Michael Bresciani While America slept on Wednesday April 25 we woke up to find headlines about how Michelle Obama likes to sneak out and eat at fun restaurants. Not so well covered by the media was the passage of the Hate Crimes bill re-introduced and passed in committee by John Conyers. (D-MI) What does it mean?

A Friendlier Soteriology By : ReturningKing.com A Friendlier Soteriology The natural consequence of the emergents and post-moderns rejection of certainty (regarding scripture or anything else) is a very natural outflow of that lack of certainty into their theology. The religious relativism and deconstruction of the "certainty" regarding a theology of Hell discussed so far are only a small sampling of the complete historical re-writes which many in the emergent movement are conducting on every theological idea previously defined. For peop Emergent Deconstructionism: Hell By : ReturningKing.com Deconstruction is a philosophical idea which fits nicely into post-modern, and consequently emergent, thought processes. Essentially, deconstruction is the systematic removal of all certainty and propositional truth from a text based on the assumption (loosely) that a text finds its meaning from its readers rather than having a finite and comprehendable intent of its own. Or, put another way, there is no way to understand a text outside of our own insights. Therefore, no text is able to produ Emergent: History & Characteristics (Part 1) By : ReturningKing.com The Emergent/Emerging movement needs special explanation concerning its inclusion in the Wolves in Wool: Creeps in The Church series. More specifically, a disclaimer should be noted concerning this movement. Unlike the Word of Faith movement studied up to this point, the Emergent/Emerging movement is much more difficult to define. And, its definition leaves perhaps half of the movement in the “Creeps” category, while the other half of the movement - though suspect- appears to be attempting to Top 10 Most Unbelievable Things of 2008 – Or Maybe of all Time By : Rev Michael Bresciani Some of the most popular TV shows today are top ten lists. Everything from the top ten most deadly snakes to the top ten worst disasters is being aired. Here is a top ten list of what could be considered the hardest things to believe from the year 2008.

Ogans By the grace of God the “Impossible has become possible!” It took faith, fortitude, stamina, dedication, persistence and perseverance to forge ahead against insurmountable odds for Barak Obama to pursue relentlessly the position of president.

Obama: 600 Million Dollars Later Is the Question Still Above Your Pay Grade? By : Rev Michael Bresciani It took six weeks for Barack Obama to admit he was a bit flippant about his answer about when human life actually begins. Now only days away from the general election has his answer changed at all? Word of Faith Error: Jesus was “Born Again” By : ReturningKing.com WOF teachers maintain that Jesus was not God while on the earth, that he took on the nature of Satan on the cross and that he went into Hell (the eternal lake of fire, not Sheol/Hades) upon his death to suffer the penalty of man’s sin. These atrocities alone are enough to make the Taliban seem biblically motivated.

Christian Americanism Vs Secular Pluralism By : Norma Klingler For the observance of Christmas and preserving 100% Americanism The Christian Attempt To Hide The Gospel By : Hannah Henderson It's becoming increasingly popular for Christians who share their faith with others to attempt to make the gospel more appealing by "repackaging" it with something else.

The Visual Generation – The Death of Discernment By : Rev Michael Bresciani When Chairman Mao of China wanted to reach an entire generation, many who were illiterate, he produced his communist message in “comic book” style.

Do Believers In Evolution Have More Faith Than Believers In God? By : Hannah Henderson Many of the stars are said to be billions of light years away, meaning it took billions of years for light to travel to Earth. People on Earth now see this light; therefore, Earth must be billions of years old.

Scott When I was at work, the first reports began to come in that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. Somehow, my first thought was of the bombing several years ago, and that those responsible were returning to finish the job. From appearance it looked like some sort of freakish accident.

The Real Inconvenient Truth – Has Already Taken Fifty Million Lives By : Rev Michael Bresciani With an ocean of pro-choice Presidential candidates on the progressive side of the fence it seems reasonable to wonder why they are not labeled as digressive candidates.
