Gotta like the guy!

Walt Ruloff, the film’s producer,  also joined the discussion.  Good stuff!

Religious Speech Threatened By The “Fairness Doctrine”

It isn’t terribly complicated, but it could threaten your ability to speak your mind, and even could restrict your pastor’s freedom to address issues from a scriptural perspective. We’re already seeing that kind of containment of religious speech in some European countries - and even in Canada.

It won’t take you very long to make your views known, and your involvement is crucial!

Go here to learn more.

Grief and Forgiveness

Pain. Loss. Suffering. Nightmares. Grief of the deepest kind.

And forgiveness.

Where Is The News Coverage?

I tried something out today: A Google search for islamist, jihadist or islamofascism. There were almost 14,000 references to these words in the news, and many of those items concerned known terrorist activities in other parts of the world.

Not surprisingly, I had a hard time seeing major news organizations in the search results. The big newspapers, the syndicated news services, the mainstream press…all having a hard time reporting on the matter of sworn enemies who are out to kill us and destroy our country.

Then I searched for “Britney Spears.”

You know where this is going, right?

Yes, in our news media there were more than 26,000 recent news items about the self-destructive singer. Almost double the coverage for an entertainment figure with tremeendous personal struggles.

Why is this? Several reasons to point to, I think, and I’ll address a few of them in days to come.

This is an important thing to grasp. Our future is at stake, the world our children will inherit is at great risk, and there is more attention devoted to celebrity gossip than to the pending disaster facing our families. What are we to do?

Michael Youssef speaks plainly about the mindset and theology of extremists who are striving to threaten our nation, our present and our future. If you care about your family, listen in.

There May Be Better Ways To Propose

I’m all for tradition, but can technology be employed just a bit too much?

Still, this little gadget is used for many other useful tasks. Why not propose marriage with it?

A creative fellow used his mobile phone/PDA to pop the Q.

She said yes!

Looking For Guidance

There was a strange story over the weekend of a father who dared to discipline his teenage son for using drugs. Dad decided the offense was sufficiently serious to sell off the boy’s video game, “Guitar Hero III,” which is a hot Christmas gift idea and flying off the store shelves.

When he saw the reason for the sale of the item, one E-Bay shopper decided the cause was a worthy one, and bought the game for over $9,000.

Now, what will Dad do with that money…maybe invest in some time away with his son, talking about the dangers of drug use? I hope so.

And will that son be looking at his father’s actions, seeking some guidance? I suspect he is watching with care.

Full story here.

Gift Idea For The Sports Fan

A special offer - only from Focus on the Family - related to the broadcast series with Coach Tony Dungy: his book bundled with a CD of this three-day conversation.

In the book, Coach Dungy demonstrates the value of making memories as well as money, seeing family as more important than fame and building up a storehouse of eternal wealth that will never fade away. This special offer will give a glimpse into the life of a true champion both on and off the field.

A great gift idea!
