9-11 was the rule, not the exception (OneNewsNow.com): If there is any doubt as to what the Islamist faith is trying to do around the world and yes, here in America take it from someone who has been one of them. He is giving us a warning. Are we listening?

Shooting in Florida hits a new low

Exploitation of a tragic death (OneNewsNow.com): Reading this story really turns my stomach! The parents are using this tragedy to make money! Also why can't we wait until the investigation is over before we decide who did what and who is guilty and who is innocent? From what I am hearing in the media of the crowds crying for an arrest, you would think we had vigilante justice in this country and a pure democracy! Thankfully we do not. We are a representative republic with a democratic form of government. We are also a nation of law and order. We need to let the system run it's course and find fault or if any laws were broken. The likes of Sharpton and Jackson and politicians, even the President weighing in on the matter helps no one. In fact it weakens our system of laws which some in this society think they can circumvent if it does not suit their needs or wants at the moment. There is no justice in that only a precursor to anarchy.

Bonhoeffer on Abortion - Desiring God

I am reading Bonhoeffer's biography by Eric Metaxas and am amazed by this man the more I learn about him. I read this quote by him on the Desiring God website Bonhoeffer on Abortion - Desiring God.. As is usual for Bonhoeffer he is blunt but sympathetic to all. We need more like him in todays world, men who will risk all for the Word of God and stand boldly against all odds to defend it. 

Where have all the bold pastors gone? (OneNewsNow.com)

I read this recently on One News Now website, here is the link,Where have all the bold pastors gone? (OneNewsNow.com):, It does seem that the churches  are increasingly worried more about losing their tax exempt status than standing up boldly for the Word of God. What I have been reading in articles by Randy Bright in the Tulsa Beacon, http://www.tulsabeacon.com/, is this is something that is being used increasingly against churches to silence them when they do speak out. 
      As the world becomes more hostile to the church, this is to be expected, but we must not compromise the truth of Scripture or the message contained in it. We must be bold and if it does cost the church a tax exempt status, that is a small price to pay for being a witness for Christ. For first century Christians, it cost them their lives in some of the most heinous ways imaginable. Who are we to back down at the threat of a tax break?

Financing Terrorists

I found this link on Break Point, excellent article and link to a blog. Indeed why are we financing terrorism in the world when we have plenty of resources here at home. May God forgive us of this terrible sin against not only our children but our future as well. Financing Terrorists

Apathy in America

Just read this on Chuck Coulson's website Viewpoint and thought I would pass it along really makes you wonder about the future of America when we do not take more of a part in the political process. We stand the chance of losing our liberties if we don't exercise them. We like to complain, but are we willing to do anything about it? Apathy in America

Judge affirms life term for OKC pharmacist in robber's killing | Tulsa World

Much has been written about this case, I thought I would weigh in. As a certified CLEET armed security guard one of the things they teach you is " shoot, don't shoot". Which means it teaches you when you are justified in using deadly force to protect yourself and others and when you are not. One of the main things they stress is, once the threat is stopped, you are no longer justified in shooting the person. As the video shows, Mr Ersland stopped the threat, the man in the store, then chased the other suspect out the door. He returned, went behind the counter retrieved another gun and shot him again. Much has been made from his actions, i. e. armchair jurors in the letters to the editor and comment posts in the paper. As anyone who is CLEET certified can tell you, YOU ARE NEVER JUSTIFIED DOING THAT! I feel for Mr. Ersland's family and could even understand some of the emotion that he was feeling at the time, robbing his store and trying to protect his employees. But, you cannot allow emotion to guide you,only your training.  Judge affirms life term for OKC pharmacist in robber's killing | Tulsa World
