Politics & religion DO mix, according to the New Testament

"Politics and religion don't mix," is one of the popular catch-phrases of our day. Many evangelicals have even shown disgust and have thrown up their hands in frustration at the idea of intertwining the two anymore and some go so far as to say the 1st century church and the apostles did not concern themselves...

iPhone’s Siri banned from IBM’s employees over confidentiality

Siri, one of the latest popular features on Apple's iPhone, seems like a real state-of-the-art way to use a smart phone. You give an iPhone voice commands to carry out various functions. IBM, a company known to embrace technological advances, is not too keen on the function. As a matter of fact, IBM has prohibited...

Did Jesus Christ ever define marriage?

At the risk of being censored by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines as well as being censored by the social media networks like Facebook in their campaign of calling the gospel truth "hate speech," I've decided to weigh in on the gay marriage issue anyway in light of President Obama endorsing it. Since...

Contradicting the Bible reveals astronomers’ weaknesses

The Big Bang theory is correct in its claims that our universe, including Earth, suddenly came into being out of nothing, but it has many weaknesses.

God blesses in the midst of distresses

As American patriot Thomas Paine once said, "These are the times that try men's souls." It has become so easy to get entangled in the things that war against our very souls. Distresses, if they have not targeted us, seem to be always waiting in the wings looking for the perfect time to strike. Many...

New Cybersecurity Act causes privacy concerns

In 2010 a bill was constructed called the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, but it failed because it would have given the President an internet kill switch. Now another act will come before the Senate this week called the Cyber Security Act of 2012 that is raising red flags again. The new act...

Is the Trinity really all that important?

I recently read a letter a columnist got from a man claiming he was Lutheran with "sound religious faith." But there was one problem the letter writer just couldn't reconcile or understand.

Mindbender, soul render: how Satan is blowin’ up the music charts

For a while now, I've avoided listening to secular top 40, R & B, & hip hop music because of its ungodliness.  It's bad enough that there's cursing, but I can definitely see how these people are just blatantly worshiping Satan. This is nothing new. It really took off with the rebellion of the late...
