Grave Errors About Death By Jim Pinkoski Pass by any graveyard or cemetery and you will see "Rest in Peace" written on a number of tombstones . . . "R.I.P." . . . But many Christians are deeply concerned over the condition of their friends and family members who have departed this life. They are concerned because they believe that death may not be all that restful. Death claims all of us. There is no magic elixir that can permanently hold it off, and everyone grows older and eventually dies. But there are some extremely divergent views on exactly what happens to people after they die. This in

The Legacy of President George W. Bush

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:08:32 GMT

The Legacy of President George W. Bush By Matthew Elton Copyright 2008 Matthew Elton In the 2000 presidential election, Republican candidate George W. Bush spoke of lower taxes, smaller government, and “a more humble foreign policy” with “no nation building”. Unfortunately, he failed to live up to even his own expectations, let alone the expectations of others. According to former President Jimmy Carter, Bush’s presidency is the “worst in history”. It seems that in his seven years in office, Bush has done everything in his power to prove Carter right. Although more voters voted for Al Gore, Ge

Media Censorship and the Ron Paul Revolution

Media Censorship and the Ron Paul Revolution By Matthew Elton Jason Dutra once said, “The greatest argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter”. The average voter is ignorant. The average voter gets all his or her news from the mainstream media – a complex network of huge media corporations that filter the news to suit their own agendas and special interests. Intelligent scholars who have studied the effects of mass media upon the American population have long suspected that the mainstream media is capable of influencing or even controlling a preside

Starbucks and Coffee Culture

Starbucks and Coffee Culture By Matthew Elton Copyright 2008 Matthew Elton “Coffee culture” – the art of enjoying coffee in a relaxing atmosphere – is not a new phenomenon. In Europe, slowing down and socializing over coffee at a local coffee shop is an age-old tradition. In the United States, large cities that are influenced by European immigrants have become hotspots of coffee culture, as have college towns and resorts like the Berkshires. Thanks to corporate chains like Starbucks, coffee has become a popular beverage in all parts of the country. Yet in many American suburbs, coffee remains

Free From The Law!

Question: Is it Biblical to make vows? I'm trying to follow God with my life, and this has been a point of confusion for awhile. Matthew 5 and James 5 pretty specifically reject the idea of taking oaths, but we are commanded in Psalm 76 to make vows. Matthew 5:33-37 33 “You have also heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’ 34 But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ‘By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. 35 And do not say, ‘By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ‘By Jerusalem!’ f

The Secret Name of God

The Secret Name of God By Athol Dickson Thursday, March 27, 2008 I am still amazed by something a friend emailed to me yesterday, a quote from a devotional called Behold and Be Held, the Memorial Name of God, by Aaron Rabin. I can't find this devotional on the web, or I would link to it. I won't quote the whole thing here, lest I infringe on Mr. Rabin's copyright. So I'll just get to the bottom line. In the devotional, Mr. Rabin refers to the tetragrammaton, YHVH. This is the most holy name of God, given to Moses at the burning bush, the one that most English translations render as “I AM”

Facts About Hell

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 03:01:53 GMT

Facts About Hell by Samuel M. Ohmart Why Facts about Hell? Because there is much teaching about Hell that is not fact but dishonoring superstition, conceived in ignorance, and taught as truth by men who should know better. IT IS A FACT: That the popular teaching of an eternal hell has no support in the Scriptures, as we shall show. that “the wages of sin is death!”— utter deprivation of being, not eternal torture. that fear of an eternal hell has little moral value to restrain men from sin, since millions who believe it go on living in sin. that fear of an eternal hell is not a necessary

State of Disunion

State of Disunion By Congressman Robert Wexler Tonight, President Bush will issue what will thankfully be his final State of the Union address; but, little of what he says can be trusted. For the past seven years, we have watched as America has moved steadily backwards. We have become a nation that is less free and less fair. We have become a nation that no longer values the right to privacy and has tragically retreated from our cherished foundations. Nothing George W. Bush says tonight will change the sad reality of the America he has given us: - Our economy teeters on the edge of recession w

Getting a Video From Your Canon HV20 Camcorder to Your Computer

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:08:06 GMT

First, make sure you plug your Canon HV20 into your computer's Firewire port, not the USB port. If your computer doesn't have a Firewire port, then you'll have to buy one. That's what I had to do. I bought a PCI Firewire port from Newegg.com for about ten dollars. To install it into my computer, I simply opened the case and slid the firewire card into an open PCI slot on the motherboard. If you record in standsard definition, (not high-definition) then you can capture the video really easily by going to Windows Movie Maker (Click on Start, then Accessories, then Entertainment, then Windows Mov

Ron Paul has never voted to raise congressional pay. Ron Paul has never taken a government-paid vacation. Ron Paul has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

The average American is patriotic, and views the United States as the greatest nation in the world; a nation not only more powerful than any other nation, but somehow more free, more civilized, and more righteous than any other nation in the world. The American public has become blinded by patriotism, to the point where they believe that the genocide of a quarter million innocent Japanese civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki somehow justifies the deaths of about two thousand at Pearl Harbor. In recent years, the American people have been blinded by nationalistic sen
