Church Billboard Ruled ‘Anti-Atheist,’ but Even Skeptics Disagree

Skeptics and atheists in South Africa  remain divided over the Advertising Standards Authority’s ruling to remove a church billboard that was deemed “anti-atheist.” Earlier this month, the ASA ruled that Rivers Church of Johannesburg could not display a billboard at their Sandton campus over what a complainant claimed was content offensive to atheists. The church had erected a billboard of a man holding his fingers against the temples of his face. Above the image is the quote, “An atheist is a man who believes himself to be an accident – Francis Thompson.” view full post » … Read entire article »

iPhone 4′s Siri sends women to Pregnancy Centers, not Abortion Clinics

Technology has been instrumental in moving public opinion on abortion. From the advent of ultrasound technology, which provides stunning glimpses into life in the womb, to iPad applications that allow a pregnant mother to track her baby’s development, the pro-life movement has benefited from greater awareness of the humanity of the unborn child. Now, the latest model of Apple’s iPhone provides women with alternatives to abortion when making related abortion searches on its new voice-directed Siri technology. view full post » … Read entire article »

New DC Episcopal Bishop wanting to bring liberalism to church

New DC Episcopal Bishop wanting to bring liberalism to church

 The newest bishop of the Episopalean church of the DC area has seem to have forgotten that politics does not come before our duties towards Christ.  Mariann Budde seems to be more focused on making the church liberal rather than being about Christ.  Since when has the church come after politics?  Unfortunately in our society it does often, but this is downright ridiculous.  –Brian Carroll (Christ Mesh) view full post » … Read entire article »

Militants in India look to behead Christians

Militants in India look to behead Christians

In the Middle East, hostility towards Christianity is no new trend–however, it is not too often when that hostility comes from Hindus.  Needless to say, several Christian evangelists are on the hot seat of being beheading because they were promoting another religion outside of Hinduism.  Overall, the world needs Jesus and I hope that these men and women remain strong in their joy in Christ.  –Brian Carroll (Christ Mesh) view full post » … Read entire article »

Christian Rapper not following music video trend

Christian Rapper not following music video trend

Shai Linne is not like most rappers.  First and foremost he holds truth to the Word of God, but also the well-known Christian rapper refuses to make music videos.  Linne brings up a good point in that he does feel that they are necessary because they tend to give off the vibe of trying to portray a certain image–that the image is more important than the message behind the video.  I think there is some … Read entire article »

Movie Review: The Three Muskateers

The Three Musketeers is a beloved literary classic that tells the story of a peasant boy living his dream as a Musketeer. Film adaptations of the story, on the other hand, have been hit miss over the decades, with various interpretations. For those who know the story as they watch the film, there will be little surprises. The film remains fairly loyal to the original storyline, with only a few deviations (Da Vinci’s war machine being the most noticeable) by writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson. view full post » … Read entire article »

Teenager killed in Egypt for wearing Cross necklace

Teenager killed in Egypt for wearing Cross necklace

In the states we are so accustomed to wearing our Christian paraphernalia that we tend to see it more a part of our wardrobe rather than making a bold statement about who we are.  However, if we are living in the Middle East or parts of Africa, that statement could cost us our lives.  In this case, I am pretty sure this young man was not wearing his necklace for a fashion statement, but rather … Read entire article »

Kids before football? I would like to think so

Kids before football? I would like to think so

With more details of the Penn State scandal being uncovered, it makes me wonder where our priorities are at in this country.  Do not get me wrong, I love getting together with some friends and watching college football and rooting for my teams, but shouldn’t the well-being of a child always come first?  For those involved in the church, believe it or not, this issue has some relevance and it is important that we always … Read entire article »

Penn State Football Chaplain speaks out

Penn State Football Chaplain speaks out

What is there to say about this whole ordeal with Penn State except that it is quite astonishing and disappointing to see from a program that was once held in high regard.  For the program it looks like before it gets better it will get much worse with new people coming out about being molested.  The program’s chaplain has stepped out and has expressed concern for the players currently on the team.  It will be … Read entire article »
