TVs Obsolete in Two Years!
I think this is a bit crazy, and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it before. Actually I didn’t believe it when I first heard it but apparently it’s true. Congress passed a law just under a year ago requiring all TV broadcasters to switch to broadcasting digitally (and cease broadcasting analog) by 2/17/09.
How We Got Into This Mess in the Middle East
I studied Islam and the Middle East for a class I took recently. I want to pass along the basic understanding I gained as to why relations to the U.S. and other western powers are such as they are in that part of the world. It is, of course, rooted in history. One of Islam’s
President Bush as the #2 Threat to World Peace?
Last fall I saw this article about a poll taken of British voters about which world leader they felt poses the most danger to world peace. Apparently, George Bush was seen as the #2 threat to world peace, behind bin Laden but ahead of the Iranian and North Korean heads of state. At first, this
Death Penalty? (Part 2)
In a previous article, I began to discuss the question which was posed to me, “Is it wrong that we’re happy that Saddam was killed?” In that article I discussed whether the “we” in the question referred to us as Christians or citizens of the U.S. and if that makes a difference. Now I will
Immigration
Immigration has been a hot topic recently. To be honest, I’m not completely sure what all the issues and arguments are on each side. As I recall, last year there was some political pressure to crack down on immigration and illegal aliens. Though legislation would apply to any non-citizen, concern seems to be mostly about

Recently I was in conversation where the question was posed, “Is it wrong that we’re happy that Saddam was killed?” I think this is a valid question worth addressing. However, in order to discuss it, there is one other question that needs addressed first. This article will cover this preliminary question, while I will address
Movie Review: The Second Chance
I had heard quite a while back that Steve Taylor was working on producing a movie. Being familiar with his work, I was certainly interested to see what he came up with. I finally saw this film, titled “The Second Chance,” a couple of weeks ago. For those of you unfamiliar with Steve Taylor, he
Addendum to Previous Post
When I wrote the last blog, I forgot to include an important part. I didn’t mean to make it sound like I had the whole thing figured out. A main part of why I wrote it was that there are some friends of mine whom I’m concerned about. No, I’m not saying this from an,
Fighting to Keep Each Other Out of Sin
I’m finally getting around to blogging about something that’s been on my mind for a couple of weeks. There have been a couple of situations relatively recently which have been catalyst for me considering these things. The first question is, what do you do when someone you know commits a significant sin? I’m thinking about
