On July 20, 12 Christian leaders met with President Obama at the White House to voice concerns about the prospect of budget cuts to government welfare. The group included Jim Wallis of the liberal social justice organization Sojourners and representatives from the National Association of Evangelicals, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Salvation Army, and several humanitarian development agencies.

(AgapePress) - A Christian evangelist known as "Dr. Dino" advocates a three-pronged approach to countering public school textbooks that use faulty evidence for Darwinian evolution.

My wife noted a brief entry yesterday from one of the webloggers at The Corner at the National Review Online, referring to an article in Sunday’s edition of The Guardian, “Church ends taboo on mercy killing“. This article reported that Canon Professor Robin Gill, a “chief adviser” to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, had remarked that “people should not be prosecuted for helping dying relatives who are in pain end their lives.” The article also reported that Canon Gill, professor of modern theology at the University of Kent, had been sent by +Cantuar to give evidence to a...

Pictures/Images of Christ* Exodus 20:4-6 -- Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth below, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
