Christ The King
What makes a country a Christian Nation? In most Western countries about 80% of people are baptized and traditional Christian holidays are celebrated. December 25 is a day off in most Western countries. Also, if we drive through towns and cities we see Churches everywhere. Are we a Christian nation? The answer is no.
During my University years a flurry of atheist books came out. Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and of course Christopher Hitchens came out with polemics against religion. I picked up a copy of God is Not Great and read it through. Hitchens could write really well and he sure could argue. He was not afraid to take any position, no matter how unpopular, even amongst his fellow atheists.
The Pharisees – The Enemies of God
In the days following the mass shooting of homosexuals in Orlando by an Islamic supporter of ISIS, I have some thoughts. It’s quite amusing to look at the angry anti-Christian leftists in the media. They simply don’t know what to do. If this was a fundamentalist Christian who killed these homosexuals, there would be no problem. Since it was a Muslim supporter of ISIS they’ve had problems. The media will fall on its sword for Islam and for homosexuality. The poor leftists are confused. It’s kind of amusing to watch them running in circles like a dog chasing its tail.
A few years ago, I watched this debate between David Wood and Anjem Choudary. The topic of the debate is: “Would Sharia Help the West?” Sadly, David Wood took the wrong approach. Attacking Sharia is good but then when he went about defending how things are in the West I shook my head.
These days it’s hard to look at the Religion section in your local bookstore and not see several anti-Christian books by the famous apostate Bart Ehrman. It seems that he’s always got another book coming out attacking the Christian faith. As bad as things seem to be, all is not lost.
Gideon With His Soldiers
This post is a response to an online atheist blogger named Melissa. She posted a video about American Christians supporting the war in Iraq and how since Iraqi’s aren’t Christian, going over and killing them will rob them of any chance of salvation.
Our Lady of Fatima – Who spoke a very unpopular Truth
If one looked at the world between 1900 and 1950 you would see significant differences. In 1900, the Tsar was in power in Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still alive in Southern Europe, and the Ottoman Empire still existed though it was well past its glory days. By the year 1950, Communists ruled Russia, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empire no longer existed and a Jewish State existed in the middle East. Russia’s communist errors had spread to most of Eastern Europe, China, and elsewhere. Interestingly enough, only two superpowers existed and both wanted to spread their vision for humanity. Those nations were Russia and America. Many other changes could be mentioned.
St. Nicholas of Myra – The Saint who somehow became Santa Claus
I would like to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas!
St. Paul the Apostle
Many Christians today are confronted by atheists in their culture. While most are mild and gentle, many of them are aggressive and want nothing more than to destroy the faith of Christians. In response, many Christians have gone to Christian bookstores and purchased the latest and greatest books in refuting atheism. While this is a great tactic, you don’t need to look that hard for the answer. It is right in front of you in the pages of Scripture.
