Does December 21, 2012, mean anything to you? No? Trust me, . . . . it will. This is the new date for the end of the world. Ok, I hear that snickering. Go ahead and laugh, Mr. “Haven’t-I-heard-this-before-and-you’re-an-idiot”! This is far more serious than Hal Lindsey, Y2K, or anything Henry Kissinger ever thought [...]

So what about the baptists and presbyterians?

I somehow missed some pretty important news back in the first part of November (ok, so me missing important news is NOT new, I gotcha, listen anyway). Roman Catholic bishops meeting in Baltimore on November 11, declared that they would close their hospitals rather than comply with the FOCA (the Freedom of Choice Act) if [...]

The news tells me that Obama’s “stimulus” package, which the Democrats passed yesterday in the House, has now been increased by the Senate to a total of $888 billion. If this gets passed that means that we will be “stimulated” to the tune of $30,588 per second, every second, twenty-four hours a day, for an [...]

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.” (1 Peter 1:1-2)
Peter describes the [...]
How should we respond?

in the comments section of the last post, Dale asks, “Pastor Steve: my tax dollars are being forcefully taken from me and used to pay for murdering the unborn. How do we respond?”
rather than respond in the comments, I decided to put my response here:
yeah, good question, Dale. I think we respond to this in [...]
So this is “change”?

President Obama wastes no time in increasing the baby killing (from Fox News):
“President Obama on Friday is expected to lift a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush. . . . Organizations that had pressed Obama to make the abortion-ban change [...]

I alluded to this observation by Mike Mason in my Pastors Conference address and thought it might be good to give the quote. This comes from Mason’s helpful book The Mystery of Marriage:
“If man really is fashioned, more than anything else, in the image of God, then clearly if follows that there is nothing on [...]
um, ok, in that case . . .

Never been all that inclined to drink, but in this case, pass me the bottle.
Get off my lawn.

Ok, so I’m a sucker for Clint Eastwood, growling, scowling, and grimacing his way through another movie. This may not be Clint’s best, but I liked it. As the movie opens, Walt Kowalski (Clint’s character) has just lost his wife. One of her last requests to her young parish priest, was that he get [...]
Making God laugh

We watched “Bella” last evening and enjoyed it a good deal. This film was written and directed by Alejandro Gomez Monteverde and shows how new life comes through love and sacrifice. Ah, that sounds commonplace, and, of course, it is. But this is how Christians transform the world. The lead character (Jose`) works [...]

Posted in Elvis' birthday, Pastors Conference, fine stuff on January 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If you were unable to attend the Pastors Conference this week, you missed some outstanding stuff. Rich Lusk, Rich Bledsoe, Doug Wilson, and Jim Jordan, gave some tremendous lectures (that you can download here). Please do it. You won’t be sorry.
[do it in honor of Elvis' birthday, which is today]
