Brandeis Cancels Plan to Give Honorary Degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Critic of Islam
Brandeis University reveres decision to award an honorary degree to a campaigner for women’s rights and critic of Islam
In 2007, Ms. Hirsi Ali gave an interview to The London Evening Standard that was, by her own telling, the most unvarnished public expression of her views to that point, including the “cult of death” comment. She advocated the closing of Islamic schools in the West and said that “violence is inherent in Islam” and... Continue Reading
He Doesn’t Just Listen To The Sunday Sermon; He Draws It
Member of Grace and Peace Fellowship, a Presbyterian Church in America congregation in St. Louis, sketches sermons
“John’s an artist at heart and loves to draw, and it always struck me as a great way to take in what he’s hearing,” Lutjens said. “I never perceived it as inappropriate or anything other than the way John expresses himself.” Hendrix, says drawing the sermon has strengthened his convictions in ways hearing them never...

From Shunned Sportscaster To Religious Freedom Fighter
Craig James, a football analyst fired by Fox Sports for saying homosexuality is immoral, has taken a job at the Family Research Council
“James’ 20-year career with networks like CBS and ESPN may be done for now, but he wants to keep fighting for religious freedom for athletes, he said. “I do know that there are a lot of people in the broadcasting business and athletes who enjoy having the religious liberties they have,” he said. “And that’s...

I Will Praise You In This Storm
On Monday afternoon around 4:00 a tornado 200-300 yards wide tore down Beech Ridge Road in Beaufort County, North Carolina
About half way to the ditch Carla felt the wind pick up and said she realized they wouldn’t make it. She lay down and covered Hannah as the tornado swept over.

5 Reasons Religious Millennials Aren’t Marrying
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Or a groom. Or, okay, even a bridesmaid. Why are we waiting to tie the knot?
By waiting longer to settle down into marriage, it’s also easier for Millennials to feel the freedom to move from one city to the next, one job to the next, or one church to the next. Singleness is often characterized as a time of liberty during which we can be selfish. The persistent marriage metaphor... Continue Reading
A Testimony: Out of the Darkness of Sexual Abuse
I was drawn into a darkness that only the power of God’s light could dismantle
I went to church every single week and attended a Christian school. I tried to tell. I remember attempts in fifth grade, but either I wasn’t believed or the darkness was too great – no one responded. It wasn’t until I was almost a senior in high school that anyone listened or believed me. ... Continue Reading
The False Teachers: Norman Vincent Peale
Peale believed we live in a world that is mental more than physical and this allows our thoughts to be determinative
Norman Vincent Peale popularized what came to be known as positive thinking.

His foremost contribution to the world was... Continue Reading
Firefox fails the tolerance test
We're free but it may cost us our jobs
“He hasn’t been censured. He can still express his views.” This is the Orwellian version of ‘freedom of speech’. You are free to say what you want. You can express your views.

What Mozilla Means
The defenestration of Eich by people at Mozilla for dissenting from the new orthodoxy on marriage is just the beginning.
You can bet its not just Mozilla. Now that the bullies have Eich’s head as a trophy on their wall, they will put the heat on every other corporation and major employer. They will pressure them to refuse employment to those who decline to conform their views to the new orthodoxy. And you can also... Continue Reading
