The following is a reprint from my blog AmericanAgenda:

We have intentionally kept away from the issue of the proposed ground zero mosque because it was clear that the majority of people in the United States opposed it and that made our opinion redundant. But Mr. Obama has persisted in trying to make this a religious freedom issue and it seems that someone needs to give a valid argument on the other side.

Obama and his left wing supporters insist that the imam should build the proposed Cordoba mosque because they have a constitutional right to do so. That is the whole of their argument. But that line of thinking flees in the face of logical thinking. It is ludicrous to propose that  a person or entity should do absolutely anything which the constitution permits. For instance, I would be on absolutely solid constitutional ground if I were to haul a truck load of copies of the Koran to the city dump and invite all the muslims in my town to watch as I burned them. But that would be neither rational nor advisable. It would be extremely offensive.  read more »

I have finally been able to access the "Precinct Captains" book, on how to start a new chapter. Oh my, I started to through in the towl before I even started. I deffinitly need lots of prayers, I have never dreamed of an endeavor like this.I done went and jumped off in the deep end of a mighty big pool!

I am going to need all the help I can get, and then some. I pray that God will give me courage, lead me & bring people into my path that can help get this done.

"Something beyond imagination is happening," he said. "America today begins to turn back to God."

"For too long, this country has wandered in darkness," said Beck, a Fox News host. He said it was now time to "concentrate on the good things in America, the things we have accomplished and the things we can do tomorrow."

 I pray he is right! Christians need to wake up and see what is being done to our once great country!! 

Race is old hat, right out of the 1950’s. Time to get over it. There’ll always be a deranged small minority who believes a different race is to be impugned. But one party thinks race is what you talk about to get elected. Buckle up if you are a member of either group.

Hello, my name is David Black.
I’m fairly new here(about 3 wks). I am a member & Trustee at the Echols Gen. Bapt. Church, a rather small church in Echols,KY. , a very small town in Ohio Co., KY.
Please forgive me for my mistakes, I’m sure I will make lots of them.
I am hoping to start a local chapter here in Ohio Co., I don’t think there is one in this area. Please pray for me?
This will be something totally new for me, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Our church is small, but there are lots of churches in the county. We could possibly have a very large chapter, if we can convince the people that it’s right & good.
Pray that God will lead me in this effort & for our churches & our Great Country!

"And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies." - Numbers 10:9 (NAS)

Dear Prayer Partners,

As Christians in America we are all faced with issues we do not agree with as we watch our Godly heritage being silenced more and more. We must never forget the power of the God we serve in the face of any enemy. The Word states to us, His people, "and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NAS)

The Lord is speaking to us, the church. As a believer I am repenting for sins known and unknown for myself and generations past in Jesus name. I am asking you to do the same. We must, as the Church and the Body of Christ, humble ourselves. Our land must be healed and it starts with the Church, you and I.

The Church of Jesus Christ is at war against the enemies of the cross and our Christian heritage. There are 69 days until our next elections and we need each Christian to take a stand and pray and work to save America. The Word states "faith without works is dead" - James 2:17. Now is the time to take your stand and blow your trumpet in prayer to the maker of all mankind and do your part in this war against our Christian Values. Cry out for grace and mercy on America again in Jesus name.  read more »

One of the first individuals to be encountered when coming to Trinity Christian School in Oakley is School Administration Assistant, Dee Halog. The attractive young woman behind the Reception Area desk possesses a compelling friendly face. Her name wasn't always Halog. She was formerly Dee Strongren.

 Nearby, one might notice a young man doing various duties, whose distinctive continental (yes exotic) look was moulded from his mixed Filipino and Japanese heritage which, mind you, is becoming. Sean Halog stands out even though his is a quiet presence. Whoever sees them at their work have no idea of the phenomenon of their lives underneath the surface, which is true of most people.  read more »

The next theory of truth and religious knowledge is pragmatism.  Developed initially by Charles Sander Pierce and expanded by William James, pragmatism is the theory that truth is not determined by what one thinks, feels, or discovers but rather by what works.
   
Christians may instinctively recoil from this initially. However, the proper response to this epistemological methodology needs to be more nuanced than the believer might originally suspect.
   
Providing in part an alternative to the early 20th century viewpoint promoted in large part by Sigmund Freud that belief in God was psychologically harmful, in works such as  The  Varieties Of Religious Experience, James believed religion should be judged by its results in the life of the individual.  Overall, James concluded that, "In a general way...on the whole...our testing of religion by practical common sense and the empirical method leaves it in possession of its towering place in history.  For economically, the saintly group of qualities is indispensable to the world’s welfare (109).”
   
However, any alliance the Christian apologist may make with William James is tenuous at best.  For example, James categorized the pantheistic outlook of Mediterranean paganism as healthy and those emphasizing the need to be “twice born” as epitomizing a Germanic dourness characterized by an obsession regarding man’s fallen nature and need to be saved by God (105).

  What should the Pledge of Allegiance mean to American Christians? What allegiance do Christians owe to their country? There are a couple of things that most Christians will agree upon, one of them is prayer and defense of America against her foreign enemies is another. Prayer and defense are certainly two very important duties that Christians owe to America. 

But is that all the pledge allegiance means to us, prayer and service in our armed forces? What about the term one nation under God, what does that mean? Does it mean that we pledge ourselves to fight against those who would lead America against the will of God and what about the terms with liberty and justice for all, could this mean that we are also to fight against those who would destroy liberty and justice in America. Or has the whole Pledge of Allegiance become nothing more than just something we recite with out real thought or true meaning?   read more »
