I have never heard of this man before, but this is a very sad situation…and I am sure not an isolated incident as there are pedophiles everywhere — schools, churches, the public restroom you let your child visit alone, and even in the doctor’s office.

There are two cases here, both involving elementary school teachers verbally abusing their students. We all know how sensitive some little children are, so imagine a child being publicly humiliated by his own teacher and being told that he is stupid or worthless or hated…? These so-called ‘educators’ shouldn’t be involved in any child’s life, [...]
Police in a southern city in Iran reportedly arrested 12 Christian converts from Islam in what appears to be part of a crackdown on the country’s growing house church movement.
The first arrests took place on May 11 at the Shiraz International Airport when two Christian couples were taken into custody before boarding their flight. They [...]
Dr. Charles Stanley explains how it is Christians have a fruitful relationship with GOD ALMIGHTY.
Grown men have been leaping over rows of babies in the north Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia in an annual rite meant to ward off the Devil.
This was total news to me, and neither was it advertised that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was in the United States. The newly-converted Catholic and Middle East peace envoy (and future president of Europe? - source) spoke at the Yale College Class of 2008 Class Day Exercises in New Haven, Conn., May 25, [...]
This story is about a religious community in Alabama that encourages people of the faith (in the broad, plural sense) to take 1 Corinthians 6:19 to heart by keeping one’s body healthy and physically fit. It seems like an OK idea in the beginning, but the an almost mystical feel comes over the whole movement, [...]
Stories like these — where we get to praise GOD for working in the lives of HIS people — are always encouraging…and gives much-needed reprieve from the violent, catastrophic news stories of the day. And, please, no ‘Jesus is our co-pilot’ jokes…
I like to be cautious when approaching stories that seem to fall into the Bible prophecies given for the end of this generation (yes, I believe we are that generation). Consider this article (and nothing on their site indicates these are Christian authors):
Fingerprints are considered to be among the most personal of information, and fingerprint [...]
My initial knee-jerk reaction was to title this post, ‘What’s wrong with the Catholic church?’ because, really, what is wrong with the Catholic church! I really shouldn’t be too surprised the Vatican wants people to embrace science and the theories of man over the Truth of GOD ALMIGHTY, but the explanation given in this article [...]
This story from the Charleston Daily Mail is rather remarkable: Velma “Val” Thomas was panic-stricken early Saturday when she awoke with the typical signs and symptoms of a heart attack.
As she lay alone in her bed, the thud of her heart got weaker and more painful, her desperate breaths shallower.
Val, 59, an employee [...]
Hello.
Can you recommend any books related to the Christian faith? I would like to expand my reading a bit, so I welcome both fiction and non-fiction works, as I am primarily looking for encouragement and edification. Just thinking about walking into Barnes and Noble and heading to their ‘religious’ section gives me a headache because [...]
I found this video at Word And Verse and, as usual with Paul Washer, the subject matter is timeless and timely.
As usual, Marc over at Critical Belief has written a thought-provoking post about the Good News and how it differs from good advice we can readily find in religion — and how both truly affect us, if at all. He writes: If there’s one thing in this world which is in no short supply it’s [...]

Matthew is a 26-year-old living in Vienna and he needs a guardian because the place where he is currently living is in danger of being closed. A woman has picked up his case and is fighting the European Union Court of Human Rights on his behalf so that someone can adopt him and prevent him [...]
I am trying to understand what could possibly be going on in Japan for suicide to be such a national epidemic there. I was tempted to question Japan’s religions, the biggest of which are Buddhism and Shinto, but I cannot point my finger at religion at alone. I was familiar with the concept of ’shame [...]
I won’t even say anything. Just please read this post from The Spitting Image Church…
You might be in the River of God if …
… your church aerobics class takes place During praise and worship time.
… you think of the floor, as an old friend.
… someone yells “Revival FIRE!” and you immediately “stop, drop [...]
Just seeing the headline on this story made me want to do as this little girl in the photo is doing. This is just madness. Are they going to start demanding Christians and Messianic Jews be handed over to the state for execution?
Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in [...]
