A Note to the Pope

Posted by Barnabas on Monday, September 18, 2006 3:31:59 PM
Stand firm against Muslim extremists in the power of Almighty God.

We need not apologize for speaking the words of Christ in a hostile world.

These religious zealots are enemies of Christ --- some Christians may respond as pacifists and others may respond as warriors, but all should call evil by its name.

You are in my prayers.

May God bless you and give you strength.

An Evangelical Christian

Wimpy 9/11 Coverage

Posted by Barnabas on Sunday, September 17, 2006 7:16:34 PM
Mark Steyn has written a great piece on America's passive, politically correct response to war:

"At what point does a society become simply too genteel to wage war? We're like those apocryphal Victorian matrons who covered up the legs of their pianos. . . . We fight tastefully, too. Last week one of America's unmanned drones could have killed 200 Taliban big shots but they were attending a funeral and we apparently have a policy of not killing anybody near cemeteries out of sensitivity. So even our unmanned drones are obliged to behave with sensitivity. But then, these days the very soundtrack to our society is, so to speak, an unmanned drone."

Encouragement In Prayer and Thanksgiving

Posted by Barnabas on Monday, September 11, 2006 6:16:05 PM
Three thousand years ago, King David of Israel prayed this prayer:

"Everything in the heavens and the earth is Yours, O Lord, and this is Your kingdom. We adore You as being in control of everything.

Riches and honor come from You alone, and You are the Ruler of all mankind; Your hand controls power and might, and it is at Your discretion that men are made great and given strength." I Chronicles 29:11-12

In these few lines we see that:
  • God owns everything in the heavens and the earth
  • God is in control of everything
  • God alone gives riches and honor to people
  • God is the ruler of all people
  • God controls power and might
  • God makes people great and gives them strength

David seems to have all the bases covered. His brief, powerful prayer should encourage us to joyfully bring our adoration, our thanksgiving and our concerns to the one true God, our Creator and Ruler.
