The state should have no business in the affairs of a sacred institution like marriage.

On November 4th, Californians again will vote on whether to keep marriage defined between one man and one woman. If Prop. 8 fails, California will follow the State of Connecticut granting gay couples (plural) the right (singular) to marry. And my question is this, I thought state constitutions granted rights to individuals and not couples? Does any state constitution give “couples” a right to do

Continuing with the topic ofIDENTIFYING THE TIME: "THIS GENERATION" (Matt 24:1-34) Gary DeMar writes in "Is Jesus Coming Soon?" page 20, "Like all of Scripture, Matthew 24 cannot be understood fully without surveying it's context which flows from chapter 23." He continues, "Furthermore, the prophetic words Jesus spoke in chapter 24 are directly related to the events describe in chapter 23". Just

Getting back to the subject of the book, "Is Jesus Coming Soon?" by Gary DeMar, he asserts what many in the church assume in Matthew 24 1-34 about "End Times", especially Dispensationalists. On page 20 it begins, "Chapt 24 begins with, 'Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple building to Him' (24:1). So then, the 'house' that would be

Over this past weekend, I finally received my copy of "Is Jesus Coming Soon," by Gary DeMar (Americanvision.org). The book is fairly an easy read. Only about 63 pages, big type and a few church art history drawings and paintings scattered throughout the book. I was intrigued right from the start. I couldn't keep it down. I even took it to church with me on Sunday and read some of the introduction

In anticipation of the movie opening of Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed", this Friday, many atheists and humanists in the academia mafia and blogland are defending the sacred cow of Evolution. They are outraged, angered, and disgusted that such a movie is getting so much ballyhoo. What nerve people have to question the white coat wearing smug priests of today, Secular Scientists.

Gary DeMar, President of American Vision writes wrote a great article about this on National Atheists Day, 4/1/08: (pardon the quote marks) "Atheists cannot account for morality given atheistic/evolutionary assumptions. This does not mean that atheists don’t do moral things; it only means that if they were consistent, they could never say that any action

Doubting Thomas made this comment in response to my post on April Fools Day. Well, Mr. Thomas, when a group of "New Atheists" attack and belittle my Faith by writing such books...which should be in every gas station restroom...as toilet paper, I cannot stay silent.

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." Psalm 14:1. Today is April Fools Day or as I like to call it, National Atheist Day.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released a study today stating that one in four teen girls in the U.S. has a sexually transmitted infection. That's approximately over 3 million teenage girls in the US. What's worse is that side effects of STI are not known until it's too late...and many teen girls won't even know they are carriers of such disease.Of course, the "Abstinence Only" promoters

A state appeals court on 2/29/08 has decided California parents without teaching credentials do not have a right to home-school their children. I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, this ruling will go into effect 30 days after the decision. And I doubt that it will be enforced. The homeschool community, which I am part of, will not allow this biased decision to go into law without a fight.

Going off the theme subject of the blog today, I have a political post. I asked my close and like-minded buddy Ivette, over in Washington D.C., who is plugged-in to the political climate, if she watched and heard the rants of what seemed to be 200 or so Democratic candidates from the Debate on Sunday night on CNN. She cleverly replied,"One liberal is painful enough."

Greetings. I found this interesting article on American Vision's website regarding the "Mark of the Beast" mentioned in the Bible. After some quick study, I found that many translations say "Upon" or "On' the forehead and not "in" the forehead as the KJV reads. The article states, "The Greek preposition epi (“upon”), not en (“in”), is used twice in Revelation 13:16 to describe where the mark was

At the end of this post entry, is a link to a short audio clip I got from Laura Ingraham's website where she verbally corners Elizabeth Toledo, a representative from Planned Parenthood on the great question, "What Is A Fetus?"As you'll hear, the pro-abortion rep spins and spins around at the question.
