by Chris ColeWe live in a time where the culture has returned to a pre-Christian stage, in which every man does what is right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25). Things which were considered too shameful for polite company within the lifetimes of man of us living today...
In a spectacle reminiscent of the prophet Elijah who mocked the prophets of Baal, Greg Locke’s recent ordination as an "apostle" at Global Vision Bible Church reeks of theological absurdity. This grandiose ceremony, officiated by Southern Baptist pastor Malachi...
by Jim Fennell This is Part IV in the “pride month” series… The Civil Rights Act was passed by Congress with the approval of President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964. In 1969 in New York City, the ‘gay movement came out’ demanding that they be given their ‘civil...

When I saw this, I literally couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I mean, homosexuals have always argued that homosexuality is normal and natural because, well, there are animals that do it. But I always thought the argument was so dumb that no serious person would...
