Wise as Serpents, Harmless as Doves

There is a threatening cry of frustration coming from the extreme religious right against President Obama and his liberal socialist agenda. Tony Norman of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette writes in a recent article, “Earlier this year, the Rev. Wiley Drake of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, Calif., instructed his followers to pray for Obama's death. Presidential candidate Alan Keyes' former running mate called down curses on Mr. Obama, based on prayers of vengeance from the Psalms. In Tempe, Ariz., Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church called for Mr. Obama's death on the eve of his visit to Phoenix earlier this year." Some of the so called “Christian faithful”, having no foundation from which to pursue opposing or reforming the policies of the political behemoth of liberalism, have resorted to speaking threatening words which could certainly be classified by some as hate speech. True followers of Christ should be quick to rebuke those who r...

Truth Under Assault

During the coming celebration of President Obama's first 100 days we will certainly witness a strained attempt at placing positive value on the following achievements. (These are not in any particular order, however the cumulative effect is the same.We are witnessing a deliberate attempt at moving our culture, its politics, religion and economics as far left as possible in as little time as possible) Obama and friends first 100 days: • remove the world wide abortion funding ban, allowing the use of federal funds for promoting the killing of un-born children around the world • lifts restrictions on un-born children embryonic stem cell research • currently attempting to rescind the Bush Rule on Conscience for Health Care Providers – increasing pressure on health care providers to violate their moral convictions with regard to killing un-born children • ignoring and denying the foundational Judeo-Christian principles of this nati...

Truth Applied or Denied?

If you pay attention you will observe the utter denial of major foundational truths on a daily basis. Among our political and cultural leadership these moments of denial are usually accompanied by a complete disregard and contempt of those who are concerned enough to point them out. While examining the opening phrase of our most respected and misunderstood founding document and comparing this statement of belief to recent current events, some major truths are apparently tossed aside. I am writing of the Declaration of Independence and drawing some conclusions in regard to how they are given jurisdictional weight only in matters that benefit the left. In the opening text we read "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The first event this past week happens to be a polite dis-invite of writer, teacher, comed...

Nothing New Here

President Barack Hussein Obama's signing of executive orders ready made for this "new era of responsibility" and a "new birth of freedom" have brought about questions. Apparently those who are not entranced by President Obama's presence are asking how these orders model either responsibility or freedom. Barack H. Obama has been inaugurated to the loftiest height of power attainable in the modern world. At this height truth like oxygen thins out, it takes more effort to stay focused on foundational concepts that should guide and measure the impact of important moral decisions. Truth should be the means by which a new leader gains the moral advantage and political strength. Truth attracts its own allies and musters the political will to do the hard (and in today's world un-popular) work of standing up to protect the innocent and defenseless. Without truth as the foundation, Freedom and Hope, Responsibility and Justice cannot be attained. Executive order ...
