Student wins suit against Anti-Creationism Teacher

May 5, 2009 By

Believe it or not, a judge in Cal­i­for­nia actu­ally ruled that a teacher vio­lated the First Amend­ment by call­ing cre­ation­ism “super­sti­tious nonsense”.

U.S. Dis­trict Judge James Selna issued the rul­ing Fri­day after a 16-month legal bat­tle between stu­dent Chad Far­nan and his for­mer teacher, James Corbett.

Far­nan sued in U.S. Dis­trict Court in 2007, alleg­ing that Cor­bett vio­lated the estab­lish­ment clause of the First Amend­ment by mak­ing repeated com­ments in class that were hos­tile to Chris­t­ian beliefs.

Look to the hills

January 21, 2009 By

I am going to start a new post series start­ing today.  Every morn­ing I receive an e-mail with scrip­ture and a syn­op­sis of how it applies to us today.  So here’s today’s scripture:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.  Psalms 121:1–2

Today is our new President’s first day in office, as well as most of his admin­is­tra­tion.  These are the days of uncer­tainty for us Chris­tians and con­ser­v­a­tives who don’t agree with Obama’s more lib­eral poli­cies such as Roe v. Wade, uni­ver­sal health­care, etc.  It is also a time of uncer­tainty regard­ing our ene­mies such as bin Laden in the moun­tains of Afghanistan/Pakistan, Ahmadine­jad in Iran, Chavez in Venezuela, Cas­tro in Cuba, and Jong Il in North Korea.  We sim­ply don’t know how they are going to treat our new Pres­i­dent and if they are going to step up attacks (al-Qaeda) or if they are going to try to speed up their “nuclear energy” pro­gram (Imawannajihad).

All we have to know is:  If God is in our cor­ner, who can be against us?  Look to the hills and keep pray­ing to God that our coun­try will be kept safe and our morals will not be hijacked by those on the left.  God will keep us safe from any spir­i­tual harm.

Take care and God bless.

Obama picks Rick Warren to lead inaugural invocation

December 18, 2008 By

This caught my atten­tion this morn­ing.  Barack has picked Sad­dle­back Church pas­tor Rick War­ren to lead the invo­ca­tion at his inau­gu­ra­tion cer­e­mony on Jan­u­ary 20.

If you will recall, Rick War­ren stayed pretty much neu­tral dur­ing the elec­tion cycle, and invited both John McCain and Barack Obama to his church for a tele­vised forum.  War­ren asked some forth­right ques­tions also.  But not every­one is happy with his pick of Warren.
