On The Box: Words of Comfort: My Daughter’s Post

On The Box: Words of Comfort: My Daughter’s Post: "The Lord granted our hearts’ desires this week when a couple chose life at the abortion clinic. Christina prayed fervently as they listened intently while I shared the truth with them about their precious baby and about their standing before God. As they sat on the curb discussing their decision, one of the workers from the clinic came out and called out to me, threatening to call the police. What a surreal moment."

COMMUNISM VS. DEMOCRACY: A LOOK AT WHERE AMERICA IS HEADED – Patriot Update

COMMUNISM VS. DEMOCRACY: A LOOK AT WHERE AMERICA IS HEADED – Patriot Update: "If you visit the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D. C. you will see the following words inscribed there: “Freedom is not free.” This inscription is prophetic. Indeed freedom is not free, and the cost of freedom is increasing everyday as President Obama and his fellow travelers on the left do their best to shackle Americans in the chains of government regulations, government control, and government coercion."

Truth Or Tradition - What does the Bible say about the cremation of a dead body? Is it right or wrong

Truth Or Tradition - What does the Bible say about the cremation of a dead body? Is it right or wrong: "There is no Bible verse that specifically addresses the issue of cremation in terms of whether it is right or wrong for Christians. In fact, God does not give any commandments about what a society is supposed to do with dead bodies. In the biblical cultures there were many different ways of dealing with the dead, and God does not specifically and directly encourage or prohibit any of them."

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Dictionary Atheists

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Dictionary Atheists: "I like high profile atheist, PZ Meyers. We have clashed many times over the years. I consider it a love/hate relationship--I love him, and he hates me. We of course disagree on the subjects of atheism and evolution, but Igreatly respect him because he isn’t afraid to speak his mind. This is what he says about what he calls “Dictionary Atheists”—those who say that atheism is a lack of belief in gods"

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Ben Hur

On The Box: Words of Comfort: Ben Hur: "I love the scene in the movie “Ben Hur” where a Roman soldier is marching condemned galley-slaves through the desert. They stop in Nazareth for a break, but as the thirsty slaves are being given water, the head honcho says that Judah Ben Hur wasn’t to have a drop. Judah collapses on the ground and gasps “God help me…” Suddenly, a shadow comes over him and a hand gently lifts his weary head from the dirt, and pours water into his parched lips. I have watched that scene numerous times and have never failed to sob like a child, because what I see is so similar to what happened to me in my conversion experience."

Atheism is a Religion Says US Supreme Court | Gather

Atheism is a Religion Says US Supreme Court | Gather: "Up until yesterday, I had been totally unaware that there was a case adjudicated in 2005 in Wisconsin, Kaufman v. McCaughtry. This case involved an Atheist inmate who filed a grievance as a result of being denied to form a study group for Atheists in his prison on the grounds that his First Amendment rights were thwarted by denial to form the group by the prison authorities. In order to understand how this was adjudicated, we need to know exactly what  the First Amendment regarding religion says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

One liners

One liners: "

There was once a zealous Christian farmer who wanted
 to use different words than "giddyup" and "woah" as
commands for his horse. So he taught the horse to respond
to "Praise the Lord" and "Hallelujah". When the farmer
shouted "Praise the Lord", the horse would take off in
a fast gallop."

Is "what would Jesus do?" (WWJD) something we should seek to live by?

Is "what would Jesus do?" (WWJD) something we should seek to live by?: "“What would Jesus do?” is a popular religious expression on bracelets, necklaces, and T-shirts with the initials WWJD. The idea behind WWJD is that to know how to do the right thing, we simply ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” At first glance, this appears to be a good idea. However, is this something Christians should live by?"
