Why has every major news source in the United States almost totally blacked out all reference to the Hawaiian Obama birth certificate controversy? When the god of Empiricism Fails – Science Blocks Its Ears In a recent report out of one American university students were advised not to debate with creationists about the origins of life. Debates have become a great medium just to bring the latest findings of creationism to the table. Secularisms academicians are now saying the best way to null the message is to ignore both it and the messengers. Does anyone remember why we call them universities? VP Debate Leaves Questions Unanswered – Palin Still Shines Squaring off with Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin shined and proved once again that she is the best choice for the GOP in today’s climate of woefulness about the outgoing administrations legacy. Voting the Race Color and Creed Ticket How many people really vote for the person they think is the best all around and most qualified candidate for President of these United States apart from race, color or creed? It might surprise you to learn how few there are. Trinity Broadcasting Network Honored by Parents Television Council Almost 50 years ago FCC Commissioner Newton N. Minow gave his speech titled “Television and the Public Interest.” If the top communications dog had little good to say about TV in May of 1961 what would he say about it today? Trinity Broadcasting Network Holds Out Challenge to Aspiring Producers If you’re like most of us you can barely hold your digital camera from shaking as you take a snapshot.

The True Christian Approach to the Obama Presidency There has been an obvious lull in reporting, articles and pundit-cy on even the most conservative and Christian sites.

The Real Inconvenient Truth – Has Already Taken Fifty Million Lives 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. Wasting a human life should never be considered progress on any level. The Preachers and Candidates Wars of 2008 Pastors Wright, Hagee and Parsley have been thrown under the bus and Dr. Dobson is still under scrutiny as he continues to size up the presidential candidates. Who is a casualty and who is the victor in this war between pastors and presidential hopefuls? The Pope a Prosperity Preacher and a Prophet Walk into a Bar No, this is not a joke and to the best of my knowledge nothing like this ever happened. What if it had?

Let’s see. Prophetic Implications of the 2008 Election Does the Bible have anything to say about the 2008 elections in America? Specific outcomes of the race may not be covered in the scriptures but since prophecy is pre-written history the general implications of the election are inescapable, what are they?

In the most general sense, every nation’s economy is referred to in scripture. The promise is that any nation that seeks God will see a better economy. That said where is America in this picture? Prophecy 2009 – What is Ahead for America This article was birthed December 16, 2008 the day after the Electoral College cast their votes making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States.

Poll says American Youth Waning on Christianity – Secularism Edges Forward One of the requirements governing the selection of judges who sat at the gates of ancient Israel’s cities was that they had to be at least sixty years old.

Newton’s Third Law and the Death of Wisdom – Secularisms Sin is No Sin It doesn’t take a team of scientist and a ten year study to understand the basics of cause and effect.

It’s the economy says Barack! Is he asking Americans to suspend the time tested wisdom that we teach our children even to this day, namely that we are known by the company we keep? Apparently he is! Just another Election or a Fight for the Soul of a Nation Not everyone who can’t see is blind.

Forecast America 2008 – The Church and the Nation People have often asked me over the years what I would predict for America. I can only say what I have been able to discern and the few things God has intimated to my heart from time to time. I have never been nor do I want to be a public prognosticator but if I have to say anything it would be as follows. First Christmas by Alastair Macdonald – A Classic is Born A book review generally consists of a perusal of the writer’s style, the story line and the flow and the viability of the subject matter.

Here is part one of two or perhaps three. Expelled the Movie – Ben Stein Exposes Flat World Academics Ben Stein’s ‘Expelled’ could properly be called ‘Exposed the Movie’ because it is a nerve rattling jolt to academicians who are ready to bounce or ostracize anyone who so much as mentions or has a dream in the night about the theory of intelligent design.

This raises other questions like why and how; that is not so simple to answer. Different Rules for Oprah - New Age Baseball? In the US the justice system is symbolized by the blindfolded women with the scale in her hand.

Dem’s Divas Destiny and Darkness The battle between Democratic hopefuls Obama and Clinton has held the spotlight in American politics for the past year and has been upstaged only slightly by the occasional antics of a few divas like Hilton, Madonna or Aguilera. Days of Prophetic Fulfillment and the Theology of Distinctions In America anyone who knows the biblical subject of eschatology (the last things) has been warning that all the signs of the last days are culminating in this generation. Whose listening and what does it mean besides a lot of trouble? Can the 2008 Election be won by a Slogan? Can a simple slogan sweep a candidate to victory in a presidential race? The shortest and most honest answer to that is simply; yes! It wouldn’t be the first time California Passes SB 777 – Here Comes the Language Police America’s penchant for accepting new hate crimes bills is becoming a strain on the idea that “the government can’t legislate the morality of the governed.” It is a reverse way of saying we can’t tell you to do what’s good; so we’ll lower the bar. Now doing what is evil is no longer all that bad. Atheists in Washington State Provide a True Meaning of Christmas Story The anti-religious placard placed in the State Capital in Washington State along side a Christmas tree and a manger scene have inadvertently served to point out the true meaning of Christmas.
