American Politics and the Christian
D. Kevin Brown has an interesting essay written as he watched the most recent Republican debate. I think a key sentence is this: The only way to change a person is on the inside. Read Kevin’s post and comment.
Mohammad El-Tebow
I read an interesting editorial this morning at Fox News: What If Tim Tebow Were A Muslim? The author suggests that the frequent mockery he receives would be largely absent if he were a devout Muslim instead of a devout Christian: Imagine for a second, the Denver Broncos quarterback is a devout follower of Islam,…
Christ's Sovereignty and the Church
Earlier this morning, I published a “guest post” on my blog that I thought would be interesting to the people involved in this site. The post was written by Mark from “Sheepfold Ministries” and is called “The Sovereignty of God Over Us and His Church.” Here’s a snippet from the post: Christ demonstrates both His…
Where should Christians stand?
In our increasingly politically and culturally polarized nation we are seeing battle-lines being drawn by two groups, groups that stand outside of the traditional political process and that are shaking the political landscape. These two groups, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street, have very different goals even if some of their rhetoric sounds superficially…
True Homeland Security – David Alan Black
Hello! I’m Henry Neufeld, administrator of this site. You won’t hear from me often, but today I extracted some material written by one of the authors of the books you see in the sidebar.

Does church authority (leaders) nullify Christ's authority?
No one among the church outright desires to usurp Christ’s authority. Everyone – if asked – would profess that they desire to live under the rule of Jesus Christ as Master and Lord of their life. However, that does not mean that we always succeed in living “under Christ’s archy.” (Where have I heard that…
Give us this day
The line, “Give us this day our daily bread,” is so appropriate in todays’ world. With the economy flucuating, cost of living rising, folks living without insurance and insurance companies being incredibly greedy it seems as though simple living has gotten lost. We could change our lives drastically if we lived each day on what…
Thy Will be Done……Sigh…..
On occassion I watch the Red Green Show. I really get a kick out of the montone prayer that they pray. One part is sonething along the lines of, “I’m a man and I can change if I have to.” When it comes to God’s will beiong done humanity often seems to have that monotone sighing…
