Here is a report that should not be a surprise to any Bible believer and yet should make America sit up and think. It is about the modern phenomenon of cohabitation without the benefit or commitment of marriage and the dark threat that it poses to many of our most vulnerable citizens. This report comes not from any right wing think tank but from MSNBC, which is, I believe, a fairly liberal organization. Listen carefully. Six-year-old Oscar Jimenez Jr. was beaten to death in California, then buried under fertilizer and cement. Two-year-old Devon Shackleford was drowned in an Arizona swimming pool. Jayden Cangro, also 2, died after being thrown across a room in Utah. In each case, as in many others every year, the alleged or convicted perpetrator had been the boyfriend of the child's mother - men thrust into father-like roles which they tragically failed to embrace. Every family is different. Some single mothers bring men into their lives who lovingly help raise children when the biological father is gone for good. Nonetheless, many scholars and social workers who monitor America's families see the abusive-boyfriend syndrome as part of a broader, deeply worrisome trend. They note an ever-increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures. "This is the dark underbelly of cohabitation," said Brad Wilcox, a University of Virginia sociologist. ‘Cohabitation has become quite common, and most people think, ‘What's the harm?' The harm is we're increasing a pattern of relationships that's not good for children." You cannot flaunt the law of God and not suffer dire consequences. MSNBC makes no moral judgment. In fact it speaks fairly glowingly of some men who "lovingly raise children when the biological father is gone for good." However, in every case, defying God's moral law carries an awful penalty. It abuses every child affected by the relationship by instilling immorality, lack of commitment, disregard for God and His word as the norm. This is child abuse of the worst order for even if it does not damage them physically, it introduces them to a life of sin and shame that, apart from the intervention of divine grace, will cost them their souls. That is too big a price to pay because adults want to indulge their lust. |

Now here's a radical idea. The state maintains a sex offenders list, or at least it is supposed to. On it are supposed to be listed all those who have molested children or have committed other aggravated sexual crimes. I am all in favor of that list being kept and of its contents being made as public as necessary to protect both children and women from brutal sexual predators. But what about churches maintaining a list of immoral characters whose crimes do not earn them a place on the state list? What about churches placing the names of preachers who have had extra-marital affairs or who have got into adulterous relationships on a list that congregations may consult before accepting the services of a new minister? Anglicans in Australia are enforcing a stricter code of conduct with a proposal for its national church database of child abusers to include ministers accused of extra-marital affairs. Some critics argue that marital infidelity should not be included alongside child abuse in the register. Others fear that in an age of political correctness complaints could be made on the basis of a misinterpreted wink.
I must say that the Australian idea is not a bad one, though it has some possible inbuilt legal and moral difficulties. The register will be based on complaints and include accused church workers even if the accusations against them are unproven. Only if the accused is completely cleared of the allegation will the minister or church worker's name come off the list. This is a little foggy, even dangerous, for all it would take to destroy a man's reputation would be an accusation from one person without any corroborative evidence. There have been cases where such accusations have been made and have been widely publicized. I recall a case of a prominent radio personality here in the Upstate of South Carolina being accused by two young teenagers. His name was blasted all over the press. Only one major radio personality was willing to step out on a limb and tell the public that as one who knew the man he rejected the story as a fabrication. And it was a fabrication through and through and the girls later admitted to making up the entire story. But in many cases liars will stick to a story. Particularly in cases where there is only one accuser with no corroboration it seems a little unfair, even unscriptural, to condemn a man who is vulnerable to wild accusations from people he has crossed in some other way. Having entered that caveat I am all in favor of ministers and church workers being vetted as thoroughly as possible. There is no place in the ministry for adulterers. I say, identify them and exclude them. And I would add homosexuals to the list. But, you say, cannot God forgive them. Praise God He can. However, that is between them and the Lord. Any man whose moral character is suspect must never wittingly be let loose in congregations where he may all too easily find fresh targets for his lust. Adulterers and abusers should never think that they can gain unhindered access to positions of leadership in churches. They should not be allowed to hide under the anonymity of a policy of non-disclosure. Some sins cast long shadows. As far as the ministry is concerned, ministerial sexual abuse or infidelity should never emerge from those shadows. The sin may be forgiven. The trust that allows a man into the ministry can never be restored in such cases. |

According to the Mormon religion, its Founder "Joseph Smith unearthed a set of gold plates from a hill in upstate New York in 1827 and translated the ancient text into English. The account, known as The Book of Mormon, tells the story of two Israelite civilizations living in the New World. One derived from a single family who fled from Jerusalem in 600 B.C. and eventually splintered into two groups, known as the Nephites and Lamanites" (Salt Lake Tribune). The book's current introduction, added by the late LDS apostle Bruce R. McConkie in 1981, says, "After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians." Now Mormon leaders have changed their claim to read: "After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are among the ancestors of the American Indians." The change has caused a real row among Mormons. Why? Because while some Mormons want to hold on to what Joseph Smith claimed as history no matter what evidence there is to the contrary, others are seeking to head off a serious objection to Smith's invented history from DNA evidence. In 1971, Spencer W. Kimball, who would become Mormon president in 1974, said that Lehi, the family patriarch, was "the ancestor of all of the Indian and Mestizo tribes in North and South and Central America and in the islands of the sea."
The problem for this fairytale masquerading as history is that DNA testing of American Indians shows that the continent's early inhabitants came from Asia across the Bering Strait. In the words of ex-Mormon, Simon Southerton, who wrote the book Losing a Lost Tribe: Native Americans, DNA and the Mormon Church, "DNA has revealed very clearly how closely related American Indians are to their Siberian ancestors. The Lamanites are invisible, not principal ancestors." In other words, there is not a shred of evidence that the Mormon religion's proposed history is anything but pure invention. Mormonism, as any Bible believer should know, is built on fiction masquerading as fact, fairytale dressed up to look like history, and worst of all, false religion made to appear as a Biblical expression of Christianity. Some Mormons believe they can lessen the damage to Mormon credibility by saying that the DNA evidence is complex and that the Book of Mormon doesn't preclude the idea that there were other ancestors than their claimed Israelite families for American Indians. It is a futile effort. Mormonism fails on every front. Its history is fiction. Its religion is anti-Christian. It is a house of cards built on the delusions and deceptions of an unscrupulous man, a liar and a plagiarist. This anti-Christian religion is gaining a lot of publicity as a result of the efforts of one of its members to win the Republican nomination to stand for President in the 2008 election. Mitt Romney may be an able politician but his growing fame should not be allowed to cast an unearned glow of acceptability on the ludicrous meanderings of his chosen religion. |

Here in the West we have become so comfortable with our lifestyle that we hardly take any notice of what is happening to Christians in many parts of the world. If we have to pay an extra penny in taxes or the price of gas goes up yet again we know about and we sound off against it-and perhaps rightly so. But why the almost universal disinterest in the mass persecution of our fellow believers around the world? Consider the following headlines: Baptist Publicly Tortured for "Spreading Christianity;" Religious Freedom in India Declining; Indian pastor Attacked While Escorting Believer Home; EU Passes Resolution Against Persecution of Christians. This last headline is interesting. The European Parliament recently passed a resolution condemning persecution against Christians. I realize that by "Christian" the EU means all who call themselves Christians, not just Bible believing Christians. Nevertheless, their resolution is important because not only do all have the right to safety and security as they go to whatever church they desire but the reports before the EU demonstrate that there is a widespread attack by heathen religions on all whom they perceive as Christian. The EU referenced a string of violations of religious freedom including acts of violence and particularly mentioned countries in Asia including Iraq, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Pakistan. Gaza and the Philippines were also shown to be some of the worst offenders in persecuting Christians and violating religious freedom. Missing from this list is India which is one of the worst offenders on the planet against Christians. According to the Global Council of Indian Christians, Vipin Mandloli, 27, was shot dead October 14, 2007 by Hindu priests who were angry at his conversion to Christ. Prior to his conversion Mandloli had fallen into alcohol abuse and endured a failed marriage but since his conversion was reputedly a new man. He worked as a shepherd and on October 14 he left home to graze his sheep on a nearby mountain in the vicinity of a Hindu temple. This was a new temple, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, a particularly bloodthirsty idol to whom even human sacrifices are sometimes made. So when three Hindu Pujaris, priests, came and shot Mandloli with a pistol the strong suspicion is that they did so to placate their bloodthirsty goddess. In other words, a Christian was sacrificed as a victim to a Hindu idol. And all this was a just couple of months ago. Where is the outcry in the Western press? If the press could find a case where a Hindu was butchered by professing Christians it would scream the story to the world. And I have no difficulty with their doing so. What is utterly reprehensible is their perceived indifference to the ceaseless and murderous campaigns being carried out against Christians. But then how can we be critical of the secular press when most of our churches and church members seem equally indifferent? It's time to wake up. Soon the persecution that appears to be confined to foreign countries will be just as rampant at home. I suppose that will get our attention! |

The British press has announced that ex-Prime Minister, Tony Blair, will officially leave the Church of England and become a Roman Catholic. Blair's wife is a Roman Catholic and he had his children raised as Roman Catholics. It has long been expected that since he has attended Roman Catholic services with his wife and family for years he would take the final step and join that church. Before he left office, Blair met with the Pope and told him of his intention to leave the Church of England and join the Church of Rome. According to the Roman Catholic weekly paper The Tablet, the ex-Prime Minister will be received into the Roman Catholic Church in a mass at the private chapel of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster. No doubt Rome will boast of yet another high profile defection to her ranks. Blair is the latest of quite a number of people who have left Protestantism and entered Roman Catholicism. Of course, it should also be noted that there is a steady stream moving in the opposite direction-priests, nuns and laity leaving the soul destroying darkness of the Roman system to enter into the light and liberty of the gospel of Christ. But, as I say, Rome will boast of Blair and he may even become a voluble evangelist for the Vatican and seek to use his celebrity to lure others into the Roman fold. Others have done this and Rome's most effective apologists are men, especially ministers, who were once Protestants but have repudiated their former faith in favour of Rome and her dogma. To be honest, I cannot fault Tony Blair for leaving the Church of England. A more moribund, effete and spiritually useless denomination would be difficult to find. The Church of England is an amalgam of ritualists, rationalists, revisionists (those who want to reinterpret Christianity to make it the vehicle for a godless political, environmental and social agenda) and evangelicals who are too weak to take their stand for God and get out of the apostasy of the national church. However, I do fault Blair for converting to Rome. He is not doing this out of ignorance of the truth. At one time, I believe, he professed to be an evangelical. That is, he had at least a head knowledge of the doctrine of the gospel. I cannot say how deeply he ever understood the truth of justification by faith in Christ's finished atonement and the imputation of Christ's righteousness as the only way of gaining acceptance with God. What I can say is that no man who has any regard for God's truth or the welfare of his own soul should embrace the Roman dogma of justification, because it lies under the clear condemnation of God (Romans 3:28; Galatians 1:8, 9). Any man who knows God's clear revelation on this subject and leaves it for Rome's evil perversion of it renders himself liable to the fierce judgment of God: "Let him be accursed." I fear for the soul of Tony Blair and for every other well informed or instructed Protestant who turns his back on the gospel of free grace for Rome's degenerate dogma. Tony Blair and those who choose Roman darkness over gospel light are, theologically speaking, perverts not converts. May God in mercy deliver Mr. Blair before it is forever too late. Perversion and perdition are not far apart. |

I have often said that we don't believe the Bible because archaeology "proves" it accurate. That would be to erect an authority superior to God's Word. That Word is never wrong. Man's translation of it may be wrong. Man's interpretation of it may be wrong. But the Word itself can never be wrong. God makes no mistakes. On the other hand archaeological "findings" may well be wrong. Many a time archaeologists have dated what they have dug up only to find on further examination that their previous opinions have been way off the mark. This was illustrated recently by some new research by a Jewish archaeologist of some remains from Jerusalem's ancient past. Dr. Eilat Mazar was working on an emergency project to shore up remains of a tower long believed to date from the Hasmonean period, 142-37 B.C., that was in danger of collapsing. However, she did a lot more than shore up an ancient tower. In a recent presentation to the 13th Annual Conference of the Ingeborg Rennert Center for Jerusalem Studies on "New Studies on Jerusalem," she concluded with an announcement that took her audience by surprise. She had discovered remnants of the fifth century B.C. wall built by Nehemiah. Dr. Mazar reported, "Under the tower, we found the bones of two large dogs - and under those bones a rich assemblage of pottery and finds from the Persian period. No later finds from that period were found under the tower." Had the tower been built during the Hasmonean dynasty, the Persian-era artifacts would represent an unexplained chronological gap of several hundred years. The tower, said Mazar, had to have been built much earlier than previously thought and the pottery data placed it at the time the Bible says Nehemiah was building it. So now once again archaeology appears to have caught up with Scripture. Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times over the centuries. Until now, there has been no archaeological evidence of the wall that Nehemiah built. We have had the assurance of the Old Testament that he did build again the walls of Jerusalem in a record 52 days, despite formidable opposition from Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem and some well placed Jews who for personal advantage were in league with these enemies of their people. No Bible believer ever doubted the accuracy of Nehemiah's account because no modern archaeologist had managed to find evidence of the existence of the walls that he built. Now, however, even an unbeliever has to admit that Bible history was accurate all along. The ironic thing is that it was with the help of a king of Persia-or what we would call Iran-that Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and reestablished the identity of Israel as a nation in its own land. Now Iran wants to wipe Israel out. It cannot succeed. The same Bible that records Nehemiah's building exploits also guarantees that the Jews would return to their own land, though still in national unbelief toward their Messiah. Despite all the opposition of men and all the suffering they may inflict on the Jewish people, Israel will hold on to her land and her holy city. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may fulminate against Israel but in the end he will be no more successful in thwarting God's purpose for the Jews than Sanballat and Tobiah. God's Word is true. |

Saudi Arabia is without doubt the chief financier of worldwide Islamic terrorism. Take away Saudi money and you cut the lifeline of most Islamic terrorists. Saudi Arabia has for years exported the most extreme form of Wahhabi Islam and has poured millions of dollars into the establishment of schools committed to spreading radical Islam in Muslim countries. Leading Saudi families contribute huge amounts of money to Muslim terrorists. Even the country's Chief Justice, the man in charge of terrorist trials, is on record as encouraging Saudi Arabian terrorists to go to Iraq. In 2004 he said: "Entering Iraq has become risky now. It requires avoiding those evil satellites and those drone aircraft, which own every corner of the skies over Iraq. If someone knows that he is capable of entering Iraq in order to join the fight, and if his intention is to raise up the word of God, then he is free to do so." When the Saudi King visited the U.K. recently, he was taken aback by the number of questions about his country and Muslim terrorism. He likes to promote himself as a liberal innovator, a real social reformer. If building sky scrapers is the measure of reformation then he is undoubtedly a reformer. But if such things as shutting off the money from Al Quaeda or stopping the flow of Muslim fighters to cause mayhem in Iraq figure in the matter, the Saudi King is the Muslim Sovereign of Death. On a recent visit to Rome the Saudi king went to see the Pope. Perhaps you saw the picture of them, holding each other's hands and gazing intently into each other's eyes. The meeting, according to the press, was to explore ways of mutual understanding. In reality the whole thing was a photo-op for pope and king. The pope always wants to appear as a man of peace (forget about his easy ties to the German Nazis), the conscience and moral compass of the world. The Saudi king welcomed the papal photo-op because it allowed him the chance to appear in the Western press as a benign figure, a man we can trust. But why should we trust a man who presides over a worldwide web of terrorism? That the pope should appear with him is par for the course. The Vatican is no friend of this country on any level and certainly not in its war on terror. Pope Benedict's cozy chat with the monarch of the world's leading supporter of Islamofascism is his latest attempt to repair the damage he caused when he, for once, said something true about Islam, to the effect that it has an ugly and bloody history. He has met with Muslim clerics and has been on a public relations blitz for months now and this meeting with the Saudi king is just the latest step in that campaign. If cozying up to the Saudi king is the price of his rehabilitation, he will not worry too much. The man who could be at home with the Nazis will have no problems with a Muslim king. As I say, it's all par for the course. I'd expect nothing better from the pope. It would not worry him that as the Times of London reported, "In the past the Saudis openly supported Islamic militants. Osama Bin Laden was originally treated as a favorite son of the regime and feted as a hero for fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. Huge charitable organizations such as the International Islamic Relief Organization and the al-Haramain Foundation - accused in American court documents of having links to extremist groups - flourished, sometimes with patronage from senior Saudi royals." And now one of those royals has found a welcome in the Vatican. Remember the old saying: Birds of a feather flock together. |

Here's a story to warm your heart a little, to give a little cheer amid what seems to be the endless advance of secular madness. Last week I reported on the case of a Christian minister and his wife in Somerset, England, who had big hearts for needy children and who had fostered many kids over the past six years. You may recall that the local authority decided to interpret current "Equality Law" to mean that Rev. Vince Matherick and his wife Pauline would have to promote homosexuality as an alternate lifestyle to their foster children. When they refused because to do so would have run counter to their beliefs as Christians they were told they would be de-registered. Their 11 year-old foster son was immediately removed from their home and placed in a council hostel. That was the bad news. Now for the good news. The council's decision has been reversed in that the Mathericks may continue to be registered foster parents and they won't have to promote homosexuality to children in their care. This decision followed a meeting of the couple and local social services leaders. Andrea Williams of the Lawyers Christian Fellowship commented, "This is a significant step forward for Christian freedoms in that the Council has agreed not to force Mr and Mrs Matherick to act against their Christian beliefs. This should be of enormous encouragement to all Christians who want to take up the important role of caring for vulnerable children." This is indeed good news-at least up to a point. There is no word yet that the lunatics in the Somerset Council's social services department are willing to return the 11 year-old boy they yanked from his home for the bleakness of a council hostel to the comfort of his loving family. One would have thought that such a step might have commended itself even to the zealots who removed him in the first place. However, we may celebrate one small victory for decency and common sense. Hopefully the Somerset Council's social workers will act on the agreement made and actually place needy kids with the Mathericks. And hopefully this case will mark the first step in rolling back some of the egregiously stupid and wicked decisions that have been made in support of the Sodomite agenda-decisions not merely to protect homosexuals from assault by people who hate their lifestyle but to force public acceptance of that lifestyle as a perfectly normal alternative to a family built on a heterosexual marriage. Expect a kick back from homosexual activists. Get ready for their cry of "discrimination" and "homophobia." They are so self-absorbed that they are willing to sacrifice the right of children who languish in soulless hostels to be received into stable families on the altar of their own perverted lusts. However, this case shows that good sense can prevail. Now we need to ensure that in every such case it will prevail. |

Willow Creek Community Church with Bill Hybels in control gave us a new way to build churches, a "successful" way that would fill pews and build large churches. They called their method "seeker sensitive," which seems to be just another way of asking people what they want and then setting out to give it to them. The "success" of Hybels and Willow Creek drew thousands of imitators. A new wave in church building was under way. Anybody who argued with the success of the seeker sensitive way of church building was dismissed as a crank. Now it seems, Hybels and his helpers have had to face the nasty truth that their scheme was a flop. They got it all wrong. Willow Creek itself has admitted as much. A recently produced study of the effectiveness of their programs and methods has produced what Hybels has termed "ground breaking," earth shaking" and "mind blowing." In a stunning confession that he and his strategists did not even teach people who professed faith in Christ to study the Bible on their own and thus feed their souls, Hybels says, "We made a mistake." An Ohio radio commentator, quoted by the Baptist Press, summarized the seeker sensitive debacle: "The size of the crowd rather than the depth of the heart determined success. If the crowd was large then surely God was blessing the ministry. Churches were built by demographic studies, professional strategists, marketing research, meeting ‘felt needs' and sermons consistent with these techniques. We were told that preaching was out, relevance was in. Doctrine didn't matter nearly as much as innovation. If it wasn't ‘cutting edge' and consumer friendly it was doomed. The mention of sin, salvation and sanctification were taboo and replaced by Starbucks, strategy and sensitivity." Now Willow Creek's leaders want to try again. Greg Hawkins, the church's Executive Pastor, put it like this: "Our dream is that we fundamentally change the way we do church. That we take out a clean sheet of paper and we rethink all of our old assumptions. Replace it with new insights. Insights that are informed by research and rooted in Scripture. Our dream is really to discover what God is doing and how he's asking us to transform this planet." Perhaps someone should tell him that he will find out what God is doing in the Bible-and that He is not asking us to transform this planet but to preach the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the work of transformation to Him. The sooner churches abandon the slick methods of Madison Avenue religion and get back to obtaining the old time power of the Spirit of God the better. If they don't they will follow Bill Hybels and his deluded followers until, to put it bluntly, they find themselves up the creek without a paddle. |

John Coleman, a meteorologist and the founder of the Weather Channel, has issued a withering blast against the theory that man is causing catastrophic climate change. He says this theory is the greatest scam in history. Here's part of his statement: "It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the ‘research' to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus. Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild ‘scientific' scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. [Coleman could add the major political parties of every European state to the list of dupes.] Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment. I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you ‘believe in.' It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it. I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming. In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm patterns all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend." This is the view of one of America's most far sighted weathermen. But just watch and see what the press will do with Coleman's blast. They will mostly ignore it-while of course they will trumpet the silly views of Hollywood "stars" whose actual knowledge of the subject on which they speak with such certainty is near zero. Coleman says that the global warming theory is purely a matter of science, bad science but still science. I understand his point but he's not altogether correct in this assessment. It's also a political philosophy. Remember the statement I made months back: the whole global warming scare aims to foist the kind of state control that Communism tried and failed to impose on the world. Coleman says that global warming is not a religious belief, but it is! It is part of the "Mother Earth" religion of many Environmentalists, who are really no better off than idolaters. How Christians are taken in by it is beyond me. Stewardship of the earth is one thing; worshiping it is quite another. |
