Commenting about the role of the first lady, Al Mohler writes : As for Mrs. Obama, she has made her position clear — she will devote herself first and foremost to being the wife of the President and the mother of their children.  She is willingly and eagerly choosing the role of “First Mom.”  She will not practice law and she will not be actively involved in policy developme......

Don’t get me wrong, I believe her husband is taking the wrong kind of stands, but Mrs. Obama has made it clear that she intends to be a good wife and mother to her children. Thank you Michelle. Dr. Albert Mohler, a Southern Baptist Seminary president and cultural commentator has this post on his blog. Despite the pressures of the feminazis in her party, it is somewhat reassuring that the......

“We cannot remain faithful and question God’s own faithfulness. His love for those who are in Christ is beyond question. His character is a constant and his love never fails. He is not loving and gracious toward believers at one moment, only to turn into a malevolent deity the next. He never changes. In this light, it would be sin to question . . . whether God really loves us, or......

There was a discussion over on the Cabin Crew forum (now closed) about free speech and whether or not Virgin and BA employees should or should not be bad-mouthing their employer on the Internet. The subject of "hate speech" came up. I started to wonder what, exactly, the definition of "hate speech" is these days. If you’re from Saskatchewan, you can be ap......

Dr. Albert Mohler suggests that the blacklisting and persecution of Yes on Prop 8 individuals and organizations is a sign of things to come: The response of Hollywood is the temptation to blacklist anyone who supported Proposition 8 and to eliminate or marginalize their influence in liberal Hollywood. This response deserves a close look, for it almost surely represents the shape of the future w......

Early last summer some of my staff and I were on an acts 17 mission driving around our community observing the culture. There are several churches in our area that are trying very similar things in ministry and outreach to reach very similar people. But, during our drive we noticed a segment of the population who is largely neglected. They were 19-29 year old young men who play basketball nearly e......

I liked what Al Mohler suggested about praying for President-elect Barack Obama. May the Lord help us to be faithful in praying for him. It is the Lord who holds the heart of every ruler in His hands! Beyond this, we must commit ourselves to pray for this new President, for his wife and family, for his administration, and for the nation. We are commanded to pray for rulers, and this new Presi......
