Rev. C.J. Conner of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Dodge City, Kansas, has a brilliant answer to the dilemma Christian businesses face when asked to provide services for same-sex weddings. His solution? Rather than risking a lawsuit, or simply eliminating wedding services altogether—as some businesses have done—bakers, florists and other Christian businesses should contract their wedding services exclusively with churches. It’s a simple, elegant solution to a complicated problem. By contracting with churches to provide wedding services exclusively to their congregations, businesses would avoid the pitfalls of discrimination charges. While Rev. Conner claims that such …

My mother was a 'Rosie the Riveter' in Akron, Ohio in the 1940s. Some may be unfamiliar with exactly what a Rosie did during WWII. She riveted airplanes together for pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps (now called the U.S. Air Force). It's hard to believe that 70 years ago my mother was sitting on the wing of some aircraft riveting it together. Her birthday was today and I visited her at the nursing home where she is now living. She has to use a walker and is experiencing many of the maladies which effect the elderly. She has Alzheimer's and usually refers to me as 'little brother' but today she remembered and introduced me to the lady she was chatting with as "this is my s…

This is probably not wise on my part but I am going to suggest a book. Resistance to Tyrants: Romans 13 and the Christian Duty to Oppose Wicked Rulers Available on Kindle and paper back from Amazon. only 79 pages Book Description Publication Date: August 24, 2012 Hayek spoke of nations travelling a road to serfdom: This book points to the only real exit ramp. If you're like most Evangelicals, you've been taught that Romans 13:1-7 gives you, the Christian citizen, a blanket duty to "render unto Caesar" an unqualified obedience. Modern teachings on the sticky relationship between God and government, church and state, seem to be little more than restatements of …

The Long Retreat in the Culture WarBy Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - April 10, 2015 The Republican rout in the Battle of Indianapolis provides us with a snapshot of the correlation of forces in the culture wars. Faced with a corporate-secularist firestorm, Gov. Mike Pence said Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act would not protect Christian bakers or florists who refuse their services to same-sex weddings. And the white flag went up again. Politics follows culture. And the cultural revolution of the '60s is triumphant. Traditional Christianity, driven out of schools and the public square, is being whipped back into the churches and told to stay there. America has…

I can't remember why I looked up 'real' but I didn't like it when I saw the antonym. Faith is a different story, antonym...unsteadiness. The following will be my definition of real and faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I ran across a post in one of the blogs I look at and in it was mentioned a conservative columnist and writer Joe Sobran so I checked him out. Here is one of his articles which I naturally pretty much agree with because in it he shares my feelings about the press in today's world. At the end of the article is where his articles may be found. Defenders of the Faith July 17, 2001 by Joe Sobran NEWSWEEK recently ran a cover story on the controversy over stem-cell research. Did I say story? It was really a propaganda screed, one of its authors being Eleanor Clift, whom you may remember as Bill Clinton's adoring Olive Oyl. Its theme was that scientific research sh…

Perversion Rising: ‘Book of Yeezus’ Replaces God With Rap Star Kanye WestThere's no lack of controversial Bible translations. The New International Version came under fire in 2011 for using gender-neutral language. The New American Bible also made headlines in 2011 for how it referred to the Virgin Mary. Perhaps the most offensive translation so far is the Queen James Bible, known as the Gay Bible, which argues that "homosexuality was first mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version" and "anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin." Now, we see a "Kanye West" version o…

Will Bob Corker Save the GOP?By Patrick J. BuchananTuesday - April 7, 2015 "Pat, sometimes it seems like our friends want me to go over the cliff with flags flying," President Reagan once told me. Today, it is "Bibi" Netanyahu and the neocons howling "kill the deal" and "bomb Iran" who are shoving the Republican Party toward the cliff. The question, which may decide 2016, may be framed thus: Should a Republican Congress meticulously point out the flaws and risks of this nuclear deal with Iran and, if the Iranians do cheat or attempt a breakout, be rewarded for their skepticism and statesmanship? Or should the GOP sabotage and scuttle the deal and let itself be held p…

I just saw signs that a nearby city will have an all RCC radio station soon. Here in Ohio I thought Baptists (5.63%) would have a larger population. But according to one website we dwarf the RCC (17.72%). Are Baptists overall (IFB, SBC, etc) a shrinking population? What are the stats in your state, particularly Baptist to RCC?

Anyone happen to hear Bill O'Reilly take a hard jab at Christians who actually believe what the Bible says about Jesus and salvation? They were discussing radical Islam and how these Muslims believe everyone must be converted to Islam or die. Then Bill tried to find a way to make it seem like radical Islam wasn't the only religious radicals. His solution: talk about those radical Christians who claim only those born again can go to heaven, those who believe Jesus is the only way to be right with God and make it to heaven. So, Bill sees us as discriminatory radicals who aren't tolerant of the religious beliefs of others and therefore similar to radical Islam except for we …

The everyday battles in which we find ourselves engaged are nothing more than ripples and reflections of this, the one true battle, the centuries-old war between the Prince of this world and the Son of Man. Contemplate how dark and hopeless everything must have looked to the apostles, and to women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary, after the Crucifixion. So when things seem dark and hopeless, when you feel outnumbered and alone, when you look at the barbarians rampaging inside the gates and despair at what the future will bring, remind yourself of two things. The tomb is empty. He is risen. Happy Easter.

For as long as I have been saved, I have been expecting the Lord’s return..... And as I have studied Scripture about it, I have always questioned, where the United States would be, when the whole world turns against Israel? Seeing as the LORD is the one that is going to be the one to defend Her..... Then came Obama, with his actions of TODAY, that is putting an end of Israel being our close Allie!! Normally this would be looked upon as a “bad thing”; But I see it as a SIGN of the Lord’s very, very, very soon return!

Why are so many pastors and ministries promoting this when from what I've read and seen this program is far from faithful to Scripture? I even noticed Love Worth Finding Ministries promoting this program. I can't imagine Pastor Rogers ever doing so. In fact, I can imagine Pastor Rogers speaking out against the unbiblical nature of the program and warning folks to stay away. They turn the Jewish disciple John into a black man for the sake of being able to fit black characters into the program. Talk about PC trumping biblical and historical reality. Instead of following the biblical narrative they add in violent rebels for the sake of adding action, violence and bloodshed. …

"I opted to place this in here instead of simply a PM for Bro. Matt. I sought to be patient with Covenanter figuring it can be beneficial to allow him to let us see how his brain ticks. I feel he has done that with "Understanding Hebrews". I also believe he has taken advantage of that opportunity when he opened "Understanding Revelation". After all, is it just coincidence that he didn't start (as an example) "Understanding Colossians"? Now we have KnockKnock who I believe to be SDA. I'm ready to grab an eraser and go "Postal" deleting "Understanding Hebrews", "Understanding Revelation" and everything "KnockKnock" related. Why not just the SDA only? What he has done is rea…

Persons elected or appointed to governmental offices are NOT leaders, they are PUBLIC servants. From the office of President Of The United States to the office of Sewer Inspector Any City of the United States, they are all PUBLIC servants NOT leaders. We don't need leaders. First, we need servants who will respect the authority of the document (The Constitution of the United States and State's Constitutions) which provides the guidelines for those government service positions. Secondly, we need servants who respect the desires (vote) of the people. I believe we would be better served by our servants if we stopped calling them leaders and started holding them accountable f…

The Catholic rendition of Jesus Christ's life, starring Kelsey Grammer (Christian Scientist) as Herod and Haaz Sleiman (was raised Muslim) as Jesus. Is anyone going to watch this TV movie based on Bill O'Reilly's book Killing Jesus? Maybe it will be good, what do you think?

My niece sent me a text yesterday telling me that my father had asked for her pastor to come out to the house to talk to him about eternity. He admitted that he was a sinner and needed the Lord, and he asked the Lord to save him. Praise the Lord for answered prayers. -

Yes, I have a pastor friend in the Independence, MO area that spoke against this often. I've got an aunt and uncle in O'Fallon, MO who could be on either side of the issue. -
The country seems to be going in a positive direction, sadly in Missouri we allowed amendment three to be passed. -
I complete agree brother, we younger people are taught as you said that we are the descendants of primates, we are then taught that as you’ve mentioned about the new view of the Bible, that our religion is wrong and backward, a very sad thing in todays education. I hear it even from teachers and peers who would profess to be Christians.
