So the issue of the day is immigration. And our first reaction as Christians should always be “what does Scripture say about it?” A summary of biblical teaching is that immigration of a certain kind is a blessing, and is fruitful, both to the immigrant and the land to which he comes. Immigration of another …
Let My People Go
Six million African Muslims leave Islam every year. Check this out. The global violence of radical Islam is born, not of raw aggression, but of defensive and insecure panic. HT: David Field
Sali Forth
For those Idaho residents interested in the upcoming primary election, I would encourage you to check out Bill Sali’s web site here. Bill is an old friend, and it is good to see him out there giving liberals heartburn. Bill would be my nominee for “Least Likely to Go Native If He Makes It to …
Islam or Death?
An Afghan man, Abdul Rahman, is on trial in Afghanistan for converting to Christianity. He faces the death penalty for leaving Islam, and you can read about his plight here. Contact your congressman about it. Whatever our views on the war generally, we sure don’t want our troops there supporting a government that would allow …
South Dakota and Pro Life Incrementalism
Many political observers, I think rightly, say that Roe is going to die the death of a thousand qualifications. Overall, the pro-life movement has taken an incrementalist approach, which I think wise and prudent. Way to go. But they appear to have lost sight of a little strategic something in the process. I believe we …
That Wall of Separation
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed the bill just out of the California legislature, a bill authorizing homosexual marriage in that state. He did this in spite of the fact that he actually supports the right of homosexuals to marry. Let’s try to translate it into terms we all understand. In other words, he is “personally …

Right before we left, a discussion arose on worldmagblog.com about the issue of Credenda we published last year in which we argued for “owning the curse” of homosexual marriage. In the …
Schindlers” List
Terri Schiavo’s parents, the Schindlers, are continuing their desperate fight to save their daughter’s life. This is a current Schindlers’ List, but there is only one name on it. As the vigil and the appeals continue, here are just a few more scattered observations. First, as Thomas Sowell observed, this whole fiasco shows exactly how …
Terri Schiavo
As we speak, by order of the court, Terri Schiavo is being starved to death in Florida. But there are other victims, among them the godly use of words. When men want to obscure their lusts, or hide their greed, they always create a fog of words. Obscure, deny, lie, evade, change, slice, spin, and …
Intolerista, Baby
Dr. James Dobson is ticking off all the right people again. For the last two nights, I have watched (on national news!) the controversy between Dobson and SpongeBob SquarePants unfold. Well, actually, the controversy is not unfolding there, it is simply being perpetuated from one monomanaical vantage point. Those who want to find out the …
