Just So Much Flailing
I said earlier that I knew next to nothing about the proposed homosexuality bill in Uganda. Here is an interesting interview with Bishop Zac Niringiye about it. There are all kinds of things going on in there. The main thing it shows is that apart from a sure word in Scripture, one that applies to all …
A Topping Suitable
The discussion horses for my Israel and Hamas post are galloping down the road, reins dragging on the road behind them. So let me get a few band aids on my fingers and then say just a few more things here. Might calm everybody right down, or we might get to see another set of …
Israel and Hamas
Before I say what I am going to say about Israel and Hamas, let me start with a few preliminaries. First, I am a Christian and this means that I believe that Jesus Christ is the only hope of every nation, and this includes Israel. This means that Muslims and Israelis both are summoned by …
Not by a Long Shot
Here’s a good article on how liberals in our media have a hard time bringing themselves to use the word “terrorist” in their news reporting, the most recent example being the atrocities of Mumbai. A coherent definition of terrorism is only possible if grounded in just war theory, which is itself grounded in biblical law. …

Back from Houston Now

The way our polity is structured, presbyteries meet once a year for business (they may meet more frequently for fellowship and singing), and the Council meets every third year. On those third years, the Council and presbyteries meet in the same place …
Ron Paul: YouTubin’ FeeNom
Something funny is going on.
Jerry Falwell, R.I.P.
Jerry Falwell went to be with the Lord yesterday, and I wanted to take a moment to pay my respects. Anyone who has read very much of what I have written knows that he belonged to a very different theological stream than do I. Nevertheless, he believed the Bible, and held to the central tenets …
All We Need to Know
I have been following the outbreak of hostilities in Israel and Lebanon, but thus far have refrained from writing about it. On one level the subject is enormously complex and anything less than ten volumes, researched for twenty years, would fail to do the situation any kind of justice. At the same time, on another …
