From Shunned Sportscaster To Religious Freedom Fighter
Craig James, a football analyst fired by Fox Sports for saying homosexuality is immoral, has taken a job at the Family Research Council
“James’ 20-year career with networks like CBS and ESPN may be done for now, but he wants to keep fighting for religious freedom for athletes, he said. “I do know that there are a lot of people in the broadcasting business and athletes who enjoy having the religious liberties they have,” he said. “And that’s...

I Will Praise You In This Storm
On Monday afternoon around 4:00 a tornado 200-300 yards wide tore down Beech Ridge Road in Beaufort County, North Carolina
About half way to the ditch Carla felt the wind pick up and said she realized they wouldn’t make it. She lay down and covered Hannah as the tornado swept over. Carla tries to describe what happened during the next few seconds but says she doesn’t entirely know. What she does know is that she... Continue Reading
5 Reasons Religious Millennials Aren’t Marrying
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Or a groom. Or, okay, even a bridesmaid. Why are we waiting to tie the knot?
By waiting longer to settle down into marriage, it’s also easier for Millennials to feel the freedom to move from one city to the next, one job to the next, or one church to the next. Singleness is often characterized as a time of liberty during which we can be selfish. The persistent marriage metaphor... Continue Reading
A Testimony: Out of the Darkness of Sexual Abuse
I was drawn into a darkness that only the power of God’s light could dismantle
I went to church every single week and attended a Christian school. I tried to tell. I remember attempts in fifth grade, but either I wasn’t believed or the darkness was too great – no one responded. It wasn’t until I was almost a senior in high school that anyone listened or believed me. ... Continue Reading
The False Teachers: Norman Vincent Peale
Peale believed we live in a world that is mental more than physical and this allows our thoughts to be determinative
Norman Vincent Peale popularized what came to be known as positive thinking. He took existing ideas from Christian Science and other inspirations, gave them a biblical veneer, integrated them with psychology, and packaged them for the masses, spreading his message through The Power of Positive Thinking and his other works. His foremost contribution to the world was... Continue Reading
Firefox fails the tolerance test
We're free but it may cost us our jobs
“He hasn’t been censured. He can still express his views.” This is the Orwellian version of ‘freedom of speech’. You are free to say what you want. You can express your views. It may cost you your job but you are still free. Just as Arbeit Macht Frei (work makes you free) was the motto... Continue Reading
Calvary Chapel, Ft. Lauderdale, Pastor Bob Coy Resigns Over ‘Moral Failing’
Coy, 58, and his wife Diane founded the Fort Lauderdale church nearly 30 years ago
In a statement released Sunday, church elders said Coy, of Coral Springs, resigned Thursday as senior pastor of the 20,000-member church “after confessing to a moral failing in his life which disqualifies him from continuing his leadership role.” Coy’s Active Word ministry on radio, television and digital media has also been suspended, the church said....

What Mozilla Means
The defenestration of Eich by people at Mozilla for dissenting from the new orthodoxy on marriage is just the beginning.
You can bet its not just Mozilla. Now that the bullies have Eich’s head as a trophy on their wall, they will put the heat on every other corporation and major employer. They will pressure them to refuse employment to those who decline to conform their views to the new orthodoxy. And you can also... Continue Reading
Leon Morris at 100
Leon Morris was born March 15, 1914. So last month marked the centenary of his birth
“Morris made his name with The Apostolic Preaching of the Cross (1955), based on his Cambridge doctoral thesis. He defended – against liberal academic resistance – the idea that in the Bible, Jesus’ death was a ‘propitiation’ which turned aside God’s righteous wrath.” Leon Morris was born 15 March, 1914. So (last month marked) the... Continue Reading
Homeschooling and Tolerance
New study: college students who had been homeschooled are actually more tolerant of people with different political views than are products of public schools
First, students who are homeschooled may attain a greater degree of self-actualization because homeschooling is highly conducive to personalized instruction and enables students to be taught a consistent worldview. Second, the religious values taught in a homeschooling environment as well as in many religious private schools are consistent with political tolerance and other values necessary... Continue Reading
