Emergency Relief Area

This is a sign that was in a presentation I saw this week by the Michigan DOT where they were talking about the roadway resurfacing project that they were working on in the picture. I thought that this was kind of interesting that they created a place for you to relieve yourself in case of emergency...

Hate Crime Laws in Canada

If you would like a glimpse of what may be in our future if some of the so-called "hate crimes" bills that have been proposed would pass, we need look no farther than our neighbors to the North. Canada has passed very strict and liberal "hate crimes" laws that are being used to attempt to silence Christians throughout Canada. Consider this e-mail message that I received this morning:


Rev. Stephen Boissoin was hauled before Alberta's human rights commission over a complaint from a teacher with a Messianic complex. This teacher accused Rev. Boissoin of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation over a letter criticising homosexuality that was published in the Red Deer Advocate.

The human rights commission found Rev. Boissoin guilty of discrimination and hate. The adjudicator has banned Rev. Boissoin from preaching the Gospel. This militantly state-ist ruling is one of the most aggressive attempts yet in Canada to stamp out public Christianity.
Alberta's provincial government intervened in the case on the side of the commission and the complainant, against Rev. Boissoin.

The "human rights" commissioner also ordered Rev. Boissoin to issue a - false, if necessary - apology for his written comments. He was also ordered to pay money to the complainant for hurt feelings even though the complainant was supposedly fighting on behalf of homosexuals, not for himself.

Rev. Stephen Boissoin fears God and has refused to comply with this "human rights" decision. Instead, he has appealed the decision into Alberta's court system.


We Christians in the US need to see that we don't end up with this type of tyranny of thought; that we are continually able to speak the TRUTH of God's Word, whether it is politically correct or not. We must be vigilant in defense of our Constitutional freedom of speech.

Living the God Life

Yesterday, I was sharing in church how we all need to have our lives lived in such a way that anyone looking in from the outside sees a real Christian (i.e. they see Christ in us). I talked about how when they open up the pages of our checkbooks and our calendars, they ought to see a Christian life and worldview. Our lives need to reflect the reality of the presence of Christ in our lives. Here is another reminder of how to live your lives for the Glory of God:


Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. - (1 Peter 1:13-19 NIV)

Reason #43,684 to home school your kids...

I was talking last night with a dear brother who was sharing something that happened to a good friend of his in the Valdosta, Georgia area. His friend's middle school-aged daughter came home from school and said that at school that day they had to practice putting condoms on cucumbers. Her father is a pastor at a local church and was a bit miffed that this type of thing would be the topic of instruction at the school. He went to the school to talk to the teacher, but the teacher said that they (the teachers) do not have to answer to the parents, and that they are taught and trained not to respond or reply to the parents. So the public schools want you to give them your kids and allow them to teach your kids what ever they want with no questions allowed from the parents. Public schools are a dangerous place, and any Christian parent that allows their children to be subjected to that type of anti-Christian indoctrination is making a huge mistake. The schools are actively engaged in evangelizing children in the agenda of the anti-God atheists and homosexuals. They promote lifestyles and an agenda that is hostile to living a Christian life. Putting your kids in public schools is putting your kids in the hands of Satan. While there are several school teachers I know that are good Christian people, the overall agenda of the public school education system is to teach and promote an anti-family type of lifestyle that is in opposition to the Word of God.

For yet more reasons not to put your kids in public schools, go rent or buy the video documentary "Expelled" by Ben Stein. This video documents how academic dishonesty rules in the science classroom, and how the academic intelligentsia wants to teach neo-Darwinistic evolution despite the fact that numerous credentialed scientists are beginning to show the holes in that theory. For still more reasons to avoid putting your kids in public schools, click here.

The power of the tongue...

The Bible is full of verses that talk about the power of the tongue. Nothing that we know existed until the LORD spoke it into existance - the LORD said "let there be..." and there was. You can speak blessings or curses over people, and those words have tremendous power to bring about blessings or curses. Make it a point to speak blessings to people where ever you go today! Click here to see a few verses out of Proverbs where the power of the tongue is discussed.
