Benazir Bhutto

I had always been fascinated with the assertiveness and passion that Bhutto possessed. In fact, any woman who takes a stand against the tyrannical powers that be is someone I’d like to emulate. Even though she is no longer with us, I still have the highest respect for her that I could have for any human being.  That [...]

More Scattered Thoughts

So this year is coming to a close and as of the 26th, I’m about 6 years away from 40…ughhhh!!!!! But what will I be doing in the new year? Well, I am currently thinking up a nonfiction project to work on in 2008. It will likely be based on religion or Christianity more specifically.  At [...]

Faith Evans! Are You Serious?

 You’ve probably noticed by now that I am a music lover to the 100th degree. One of my favorite artists, Faith Evans, has a cool song called Mesmerized from her album First Lady (2005).  Allow me first to say that I am a huge fan of hers. But there is one part of the song that [...]

If You Sin Even Once, You Are A False Convert!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how some Christians believe that certain sins indicate false conversions. One of my favorite Internet radio programs, Way of The Master Radio, included a segment on the whole Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy fiasco. Todd Friel suggested that the way to avoid this type of situation is to “get [...]

Does No Marriage Mean No “Friends” Allowed?

In my early 20’s, it was a dream of mine to be married with children. Now that I am approaching my mid 30’s, that dream is fading. I am starting to feel like I don’t want to be tied down to a man. Since I have lived life on my own and pretty much [...]

Is Lying a Sin? Yes? No? Depends?

I could not help but wonder about a response posted on my “Would You Still Become A Christian If…?” thread. The issue of lying came up as it relates to the ninth commandment which tells us that we should not bear a false witness against our neighbors. First I would like to mention that [...]

Is It The Way Of The Master Or Not?

And now for some random, scattered thoughts about a YouTube video I discovered…
Below is a wonderful video, courtesy of Fellowship of the Martyrs (FOTM), critiquing the technique of another Christian organization, The Way of the Master (WOTM). I’m not too familiar with FOTM, but was intrigued with the truths contained in the video. [...]

How Would You Handle Your Teen If She Didn’t Want To Wear a “Scarf” Over Hear Head?

Ever get into a fight with your teen over what he or she chooses to wear? Clothing can certainly be a source of strife between parents and teens. Some parents demand that their teen dress modestly. Others allow for some creativity but still draw the line where they consider it appropriate.
Then there are parents who [...]

Mentally Disturbed Youth Goes On Anti-Christian Shooting Spree

Here is a sad and extremely frightening story. Gunman hated Christians What disturbs me is that two opposing groups will likely use this horror for their own gain. Over zealous atheists will indeed find some way to “blame Christians” for this. Christian fundies will avoid problems that exist in the church (which sometimes leads unstable [...]

Save Unborn Babies Even If The Mother’s Life Is In Danger…

In my younger days, I was very passionate about the pro-life cause. Unborn children were and are being terminated without thought. It horrified me to find out that abortion is legal up until the ninth month. I wanted to get involved, to fight for the unborn. So, I went to a small crisis [...]
