I suppose it was bound to happen. 🙁
And I am quite certain neither Kenneth Miller nor Timothy Miller would be happy with how LifeSiteNews launches its red meat report: “The Obama administration…” Read it all
Politics
So what would a conservative Mennonite care about mere earthly politics? And why?
Progress at Work?
Well, Congress, anyway. 🙄
Still, this is pretty funny.
And telling.
Of how the language continues to suffer twisting.
And of how words yield so easily to…ah…something.
Like vegetables. Read it all
Using Bibles to Fool American Christians
The Chinese Communist Part tries to deceive American Christians into believing there is a religious freedom in the China. The party is trying to achieving its goal through an exhibition being displayed in the US. Read it all
Where Is the Church in Afghanistan?
Short answer: Where it’s always been.
More informative answer: Wherever God’s people gather.
And that’s true even after the government razes the last public meeting house.
In Afghanistan’s case, Christians might be forgiven for wondering Read it all
His Name Is Obama
Use it carefully if you bear God's name!
Obama: How mangled, twisted, and corrupted it becomes in the hearts and tongues of the Talkerati and the Bloggerati.
Obama: The last name of the 44th President of the United States.
So use it properly. Like this:
- President Obama
- Mr. Obama
- Obama
Don’t be disrespectful of the President, like this:
Obummer
Bamster
Bammy
Bamster
Bammy
The One
The O
The Zero
The O
The Zero
The Man-Child
The Anointed One
The Messiah
The Anointed One
The Messiah
The Bible tells me so.
“Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king” (1 Peter 2:17).
Yeah, fear God.
If you can’t honor the President and his name for his own sake, do so for God’s sake.
Or will you bear His name in vain as well?
PS: This is apolitical because I’m apolitical. This is an appeal to my fellow Christians.
Banning Bible Studies?
I marked this for comment the morning of September 20.
Then I got busy.
Then I lost interest.
But here is just one excerpt from the story:
Capistrano Couple in Legal Battle for Hosting Bible Study in Home
“We don’t like lawsuits, but we have to stand up for what’s right. It’s not just a personal issue,” Stephanie Fromm said. “Can you imagine anybody in any neighborhood, that one person can call and make it a living hell for someone else? That’s wrong … and it’s just sad.”
They’ve been experiencing a living hell? 😯
Wow. 🙄
Nonresistance During the Revolutionary War
"We are not at liberty in conscience to take up arms to conquer our enemies."
Did you know this?
Some Americans supported neither side in the Revolution. Instead, as Mennonite and German Baptist leaders said in 1775, “We have dedicated ourselves to serve all men in everything that can be helpful to the preservation of men’s lives, but…we are not at liberty in conscience to take up arms to conquer our enemies, but rather to pray to God, who has power in heaven and on earth, for us and them.” Chief among these nonresistant Christians were the Quakers, Mennonites, German Baptists, Moravians, and Schwenkfelders.
Most nonresistant Christians were quite content with their lot as British subjects. As three Mennonite bishops in Pennsylvania wrote in 1773, “Through God’s mercy we enjoy unlimited freedom in both civil and religious matters.” Ironically, once the fight for liberty started, the freedom of nonresistant Christians became sharply limited.
