Make Iraq Safe For Christians!

Refugees! Christians are trying to get out of Iraq? Why? because in a nation where Muslim extremists are blowing people up, Christians are a prime target!

We need to get out a battle cry: Make Iraq Safe for Christians! The government leaders need to hear this cry over and over again.

Jesus can fix the hearts of the people who need to fix Iraq.

This picture? Some little kids in a Christian school in Iraq.

By the way, Northern Iraq, where the Kurds live, is relatively safe for Christians. Let's hear it for the Kurds. Pulling out of Iraq, by the way, would hurt the Kurds greatly, for they have been the voice of sanity in an insane nation for decades.

The Perfect Pastor

My Friend Scott sent me a profile of the perfect pastor. The guy in the picture probably is the right "look" for the perfect pastor. I wonder how I measure up? here's the profile:

A recent survey has compiled all the qualities that people expect from the perfect pastor:

Results of a computerized survey indicated that the perfect pastor preaches exactly 12 minutes.

He frequently condemns sin but never upsets anyone.

He works from 8 a.m. until midnight and is also a janitor.

He makes $60 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives about $80 a week to the poor.

He is 28 years of age, but he's been preaching for 30 years.He is wonderfully gentle and handsome.

He gives himself completely but never gets too close to anyone to avoid criticism.

He speaks boldly on social issues, but must never become politically involved.

He has a burning desire to work with teenagers, but he spends all his time with senior citizens.

He makes 15 daily calls to parish families, visits shut-ins and the hospitalized, spends all his time evangelizing the unchurched, and is always in his office when needed.

Apocalypto!

Okay, I saw this movie.

Thoughts:

1. It's not that bloody. It is less bloody than Saving Private Ryan, and Braveheart

2. There are a couple of scenes where you see human hearts in some one's hand. Kind of creepy, but not too bad.

3. Great movie, as a movie. Compelling characters, dramatic, unique story.

4. Drawback, there was some "native" nudity. Glimpses of people who don't wear much clothes, especially when the Mayans were slaying the people of the village --not senual at all, and not over done.

5. the men wear as much clothes as sumos. no more. if this offends, stay away.

6. Lots of great tats, jewelry, and designer scarring. I think it will be all the rage with the younger generation soon.

7. Only one cuss word. (I confess, I laughed when I heard it. It was kind of funny)

8. The picture of this guy running is pretty much what you see for the last half hour of the movie.

9. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Iran, Bill Clinton, and Negotiable Truth

Iran is questioning the Holocaust. Why not? Truth doesn't have to be true in this day and age. Has there ever been a more public prolific liar than Bill Clinton? Besides, the devil, I'd have to say no. Yet, no matter how many lies, people wanted to believe him. Why should a historical event be any different?Until modern man agrees that truth is greater than preference, why not question everything? Ahmadinijab is a racist. He hates Jews. He wants history changed. How can the Americans who believed Bill Clinton call him a liar?

The Giant Eastern Squirrel is Tamed

It was a dangerous job. But someone had to do it.

Cool Crackdowns!

First of all, I want to say that this dude is cool. "Police Ice" is on his chest, badge hanging next to it, the shades, stocking cap, and a radio. Does life get better? I say, no.

ICE stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They raided many companies in 6 states this week, pulling illegal aliens from their jobs and punishing those who hired them.

Many people are angry. They say this isn't right. I have one question: Why is it okay to say of our law enforcement, like ICE, that they are not allowed to do their job?

Let's Just Give Up and Encourage Iran!

Here's my suggestion: Let's all get behind the president and win the war in Iraq? Crazy, I know, but guess what? We can do it. We only suffer from Liberal's disease. Liberals like to lose wars.

From the Ashes Comes a Phoenix

This is Mark Taylor. He was shot 13 times during the Columbine High School Massacre. Not only did he live, he has declared that he has forgiven the shooters.

He now reaches out to others who struggle with forgiveness and urges them to look to God for help.

And of course, he's written a book.

God's work on display. Thoughts?

A Message from the Devil (or God?)

Okay, the little nut-job who presides over Iran is at it again. This time he is warning us Americans that we must either submit to God or vanish from the earth. Here are his words:

"These oppressive countries are angry with us ... a nation that on the other side of the globe has risen up and proved the shallowness of their power. They are angry with our nation. But we tell them 'so be it and die from this anger'. Rest assured that if you do not respond to the divine call, you will die soon and vanish from the face of the earth.”

Of course, by these words he means that Allah is on his side and that we cannot stop him. Allah is displeased with America and will soon kill us all.

He's wrong of course.

But is he all that wrong? He has the wrong God, to be sure, for Allah is not God. However, the true God's message requires repentance also. It is a "fearful thing to fall into the hands of God." So, even though President Tom of Iran has no idea what he is talking about, there is a shadow of truth: America, turn to the true God, or there is no real safety for you.
