Give us Barabbas!

(reposted)






I have noticed over the span of my life that the Christian movement is really giving way to the world. Over and over again we have been letting the world encroach upon us with our passive permission. It’s not just the crazy hairstyles I am referring to either.

Lets examine one of the weaknesses of the church today. There are so many holes in the church’s armor that I am only going to talk about one today. Complacency. We have been so comfortable in our air-conditioned lives that we just don’t care anymore. As long as we have cable TV, football, air-conditioning, and a good income - who cares what goes on in the world? While we are being distracted by television, we are forgetting about abortion. Christians don’t care about abortion. Christians don’t care about the Islamic religion gaining a foothold in America. Christians
don’t care about the ever-increasing laws that are aimed at eventually
wiping out our freedom of speech and the free exercise of our religion. Mangers are out, ‘Merry Christmas’ is out, and the Ten Commandments are out. Christians just roll over in their comfortable beds like nothing is happening.

Christians are saying, “Give us Barabbas!” (Luke 23:18). Just to remind you, Barabbas was the murderer that Pilate released at the request of the audience. They could have chosen Jesus, but no, the religious right would rather have a murderer released to them. The same thing is going on today. Christians are electing Pro Choice (what a deceptive label) candidates, and then complaining about the country. They want ...<< MORE >>

Pledge of allegiance written by a Nazi???

Did you know that the pledge of allegiance was written by a Nazi (National Socialist) Flag Salesman?

Francis Bellamy was a socialist that instituted the pledge of allegiance and started the government take over of schools.

The original salute was similar to the one used by Nazi Germany in WWII later changed to putting the hand over the heart.

Adultery!

Podcast show notes. Continuing the sermon on the mount. The glasses we use to read scripture. Why did He say "You have heard it said"? God's illumination of scripture. What is Adultery anyway? Sound needs a medium. Lust of the eyes. With her? Hmmm.... The anatomy of sin. We have a choice! We must renew our minds! Techniques for casting down vain imaginations! Divorce for fornication only??? Sin is a type of adultery.

No Knock Warrant!

Who is the GENIUS that thought of coupling a no knock warrant with the second amendment? Please give them some kind of idiot of the century award! They must keep Mein Kampf under their pillow!

The second amendment enshrines the unalienable right to protect ourselves and our property. You know, the right to bear arms. This in turn causes the ‘no knock’ warrant to be some kind of legalized murder. Sounds like something from Dr. Evil's imagination!

If you have the right to protect yourself and your property (I don’t need a piece of paper to tell ...

Iron Man (A-)

I was so excited when Iron Man came out.


I am a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr.  I have watched his career all the way from when Tough Turf came out in 1985.  That was a really bad film but I knew from that film that he was destined for a fabulous future.

Arguably his best work was Chaplin.  I believe that was the pinnacle of Downey's career.  And then the drug stuff surfaced.  It is a shame on one hand because after his drug habit became known he didn't get any good parts.  ...<< MORE >>

JourneyMan B+


I just finished the first and only season of Journeyman this week.

Kevin McKidd  stars in this television series as a time traveling angel of sorts. He finds himself mysteriously transported to other times within the last 50 or so years within the San Francisco area to help people. This ability was thrust upon him against his will, but he takes to it like a duck to water and finds that it isn‘t a curse as one might suspect.


During his flings back in time he can be transported back to his current ...

Gas Prices!

For the first time in my life I spent $70 to fill up my truck.  Half of me was amazed while the other was just angry! 

Gas prices can cause a person to do some thinking about things.  Like what will happen if the trend continues.  If Gas goes up to $7.00 per gallon over the next eight years what would that do?

If we don’t employ an alternative fuel soon, we will be in big trouble.  Or at least I will!  However, using an alternative fuel means un-employing the oil industry.  Or does it?

Terrorism, Drugs, Oil, and Child Abduction!

Just checking in with my blog readers!  Don’t despair, I haven’t given up blogging for podcasting.  I just have been podcasting more because the hits have been going up pretty steadily, and to be honest, I feel like I need to use my studio for SOMETHING! 

In my last podcast I touched upon a hot bed of issues.

One of my  pet peeves is the idea that there is this huge terrorist conspiracy going on.  If the government really wanted to stop terrorism then we would have seen them destroy the poppy fields in Afghanistan ...<< MORE >>
