Created to Worship: Journey to the shrine of a Hindu god

Fascinating pictorial coverage of a pilgrimage to the shrine of Amamath cave, at 12,756 ft, in the snow covered Himalayan mountains. A beautiful display of the need a creation has for worship and devotion.  A chilling reminder of the need for those with Truth to go until they’ve heard and understand the Word.

God and the Stretch of Technology: Google and Project Glass

I love watching technology develop and evolve.  It’s one great way to see the hand of God in the creative mind of humanity.  Every great stretch of the human mind is evidence of the thoughtful personal work of a Creator who knows every good idea to the nth detail.
If you think the iPad, iPhone, and [...]

Who is “Rebel”?

In Sudan, “rebel”, “militia”, and “military” are terms that are used interchangeably by both sides of local and regional conflict. At its core, the conflict is driven by ethnic and socio-political power wars–both a harsh result of long term brokenness and a desperate need for healing.
Read the following NYT article with that as a filter.

To get bin Laden, Obama relied on policies he decried

Interesting read on politics, truth, and the power of morality to quiet conviction.
From the article: “For years we heard supposedly enlightened people excoriate our leaders for torture, lawlessness, unilateralism — the list goes on and on. Now the president they have wanted has used the tactics and methods they excoriated to get bin Laden. Good [...]

I agree with Maureen Dowd. There, I said it.  As much as it hurts, I have to say she has written an OP-ED that causes me to wag my head in a good way.
If you travel by air, then I think you’ll agree with me.  It’s time for someone to make a change at the [...]

Mistake: China cracks down again on Christians

After my post, I found the article linked below another indication that China is handling the “Christian Crisis” all wrong.
Thought: Threats of detention and imprisonment emboldens the actions of (Chinese) Christians who have been declared free forever.
I once heard a pastor in a closed country ask a stadium full of people to pray for MORE [...]

MALAYSIA Kuala Lumpur authorizes importation and printing of the Bible in any language

This is great news.  When I was in Malaysia last, handing out a Bible was grounds for imprisonment or worse in some areas.  Good to see they’re becoming more enlightened.  I trust the Word will continue to do His work–He doesn’t need permission from the government to do that.
