So you’re an atheist. Mazel Tov, at least you aren’t wishy washy. As a former atheist myself, I won’t condemn you. How could I? Some atheists think they’ve taken a heroic stand, but could it be that they really don’t want to face up to the possibility that God is indeed there? I hope you’ll [...]

Atheism Window on the World Philip Ryken You may not realize this, but there is an embattled group of religious believers in this country that is badly in need of protection from public hostility.

Apprising Ministries continues to connect the dots between the Seeker Sensitive , Emerging , Roman Catholicism and  the Coming Dominion Of The Global Family.  Dominion theology is at the rotten root  of the centered-on-self  seeker sensitive Ecumenical Church of Deceit.   From Brian McLaren to Rick Warren, the common thread is the question of how the church should respond to [...]

"…If we know He might disapprove, it’s time we swallow our lump of pride and submit to our Lord and Savior. Ask. Submit. Obey. Honor the Lord of hosts." We came across this devotional post today that helped us put thing back into focus.
