Throwing off "The Last Frontier of Bigotry" The California legislature's destruction of traditional marriage is hailed as an act of virtue The California legislators, tripping over themselves to make history, became the first state legislative body in the country to legalize homosexual marriage this week. They must be proud. One Assemblyman, in a striking show of intolerance, labeled traditional marriage "the last frontier of bigotry and discrimination." Indeed. Apparently all we need to do to change any law or traditional restraint is to say often enough and loud...

Katrina aftermath; Taking the blame Since the can of worms was opened by the left, I feel obliged to chime in as a voice of reason and truth. The lies being disseminated need rebuttal. We all know that the more often you tell a lie, and the louder you scream it, the more people start to believe it is the truth. The left relies on that strategy. Its been working for them for 40+ years. One question which I have not heard anyone in the national leftist media ask yet is, "Why didn't Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco act sooner?" I've heard so much rhetoric from the left, seen so...

A Mighty Fein Way to Begin the Hearingsby Brannon HowseDemocratic Senator Diane Feinstein teased us Monday with her opening remarks in the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for John Roberts. In case you missed it, here is what she said: "During World War II, it turned out that Hungarian fascists and Nazi soldiers forced thousands of Jews, including men, women and children, to remove their shoes before shooting them and letting their bodies float down the Danube. These shoes represent a powerful symbol of how religion has been used in catastrophic ways historically. The rest of...

Defending Salvation Through Christ AloneBy Jason Carlson Don't all religions lead to God? Isn't one faith as good as another? Isn't it arrogant to say that only one religion leads to salvation? These are some common questions that people in our pluralistic world are wrestling with today. In a world full of religious options, many people of goodwill, including Evangelical Christians, have trouble with the idea that there would only be one way to enter into a saving relationship with God. However, this is exactly what God's word tells us; salvation is only found in a relationship with...

A Man Made Disaster By Lowell Scott If the ACLU is ever totally successful in removing the vestiges of Christianity from our society, we have seen a preview of what our national landscape will eventually look like and it's not pretty. For a few days in New Orleans, the state was on its own, the church was effectively separated from it by Hurricane Katrina and it required thousands of soldiers to restore law and order. Hurricane on Sunday, broken levees and flooding beginning on Monday, gangs of armed murderers, rapists, thieves, looters, carjackers, (is terrorist too strong a...

Terrorism, War & Disaster: Why does God allow evil to exist?In recent weeks we've seen back-to-back deadly attacks in Egypt and London. One of the most haunting questions we, as Christians, face today concerns the existence of evil. "If God is truly benevolent, then
Why does He allow evil to exist?" Does the existence of evil disprove the existence of God? Sometimes the problem of evil is put to the Christian in the form of a complex question:"If God is good, then He must not be powerful enough to deal with all the evil and injustice in the world since it is still going on. If He is...

The Dark Side of Man The devastation of Hurricane Katrina has stripped away more than houses and land; it has uncovered the darkness of the human soul. The epic tragedy of the New Orleans disaster grows sadder every day. We all breathed a sigh of relief when Katrina turned east just before striking the city, sparing it from the full brunt of the storm's awesome power. But as the story continues to unfold, we have gone from hope to despair, as first the levees broke and now rescue efforts have sputtered and slogged forward due to the lawless looting, shooting and the resistance...
