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: "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: 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
