Our brothers and sisters in Syria are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one side, they are besieged by hostile rebels of a religion that desires to annihilate them, and on another side they have to contend with a hostile government that tolerates them for strategic purposes only. Along...

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Egypt. I hear something like a hundred churches have been burned down, and no attention is being brought to them in the West. God, preserve and triumph our Egyptian brothers and sisters. Restore the churches burned down during the recent crisis in...

On the Sunday before September 11, 2012, I read a few chapters of Job. By the point I had finished reading chapter 19, my compulsion for wanting to see a reenactment of Job could no longer be contained; to me, the style and rhetoric of the text surpassed that of Shakespeare’s writing. (I had not...

In the 20th and 21st centuries, we have had the fortune to witness the tyrannies of the genocidal Syrian and Iranian regimes firsthand through camera images. People are not affected by numbers and statistics; they can be told of whole towns being levelled, and of the massacre of hundreds of...

I normally don’t bother with the “news.” However, today I was scouring mainstream media headlines for an internationally relevant event when, not to my surprise, I came across the “Ha! Ha! Look at the stupid Christians” article that is a staple to this era’s mainstream media. In this particular...

In John 14, the Ultimate Role Model teaches us how to react to those being stupid with us. It is revealed that at the Last Supper Jesus’ disciples, Thomas and Philip in particular, were still looking at Jesus with one eye wide open (as though, saying “rrrreally?”): sceptical. Even after all that...

Lately, I have been noticing my XP machine slow down to a crawl. Here is what you do to fix that problem: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. From there stop and disable all services that never get used, or believe are unnecessary. I recommend you especially...

It’s time we start considering the consequences of fluoridating everything that enters the human system. We should be worried and alarmed about this trend, but it seems that it is flying under the radar of public consciousness. Even today, when fluorosis is more widespread than ever: affecting...

First, I pray God has mercy on Michael Jackson’s soul. He touched many souls, and many, including myself, grew up at a time in which he was highly respected, and everyone (kids at least) wanted to imitate him. His compassion and gentleness were admirable. Also, he must be given credit for the...

I saw parallels in T4 to many movies of the past: Demolition Man: Marcus the prisoner being put into a suspended state until a future time. Robocop: Marcus the human-machine hybrid. X-Men: The giant terminators. Aliens: The amphibian terminators that eat your face...

The quality of the visual effects and sound are the best that I have seen to date. The storyline, on the other hand, seemed more appropriate for an episode of a TV show. I found nothing memorable about the movie, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for a movie these days, but especially bad for...

Notwithstanding that the seven deadly sins are a Biblically based Catholic list… Recently, the seven deadly sins have been on my mind. I have been meaning to make a post on gluttony, from personal experience, on the health forum, but I haven’t got around to it, yet. Today, I just got...

You might have heard that the Egyptian government recently moved to exterminate Egypt’s pigs, all 300,000 of them. It used the “swine flu” as pretence, for no other reason than its name. In other words, this severe and unnecessary decision to exterminate all the pigs has been made in an...

Two billion people brought together by the Net will ensure that wherever our brothers and sisters go on the Net, their beliefs and worldview will consistently be challenged, maligned and opposed. The Net brings together every type of malcontent and evil doer you can think of. They can be: 10...

Fresh squeezed lemon juice + brown sugar + cayenne pepper + water Measure (ingredients) to your liking (or just guess) A variation of the recipe on Lemon Cleanse (WARNING: New Age site)

I’m looking for a new homepage. Which search engine do you most often use, besides Google?

Although not the flawless store-bought pancake mix pancakes or restaurant pancakes, Angie’s recipe produces quite the respectable pancakes. I just recommend three changes: Use 1 1/4 cups milk soured with 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar. (The milk is left out at room temperature for...

The purpose of salvation is to preserve one’s own life, or a meaningful existence. This is Jesus’ teaching and no one can deny it: “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?” Luke 9:25 God offered us salvation through Jesus Christ for our...
