Another report involving government attempts to restrict Christian organizations – this time out of Tulsa, Oklahoma where an evangelical group has been banned from a housing project they have been ministering to for the last 20 years.
Let’s face it – it’s hard to live and act like a Christian all the time. Personally, I’m at my worst when I am driving. I came across these neat test you can take to see how often you react in a “un-Christianly” manner over at Stuff Christians Like.

Christian Web News is reporting that the Alameda Unified School District has adopted a new curriculum that includes instruction on homosexuality, this despite the objections of hundreds of parents who testified at the board hearings.

So I found it quite interesting when a poem written by Roy Moore was sent to me and thought I’d post it here.

This summer, Randall Price who is director of Liberty University’s new Center for Judaic Studies is planning an expedition to Mount Ararat where he hopes to unearth the remains of Noah’s Ark.
“There’s a whole trail of history pointing to it [Mt. Ararat],” Price said in a recent interview. “But in our age, people tend to think it is more of a story like Jack and the Bean Stalk.’ Our aim is to show that the Bible is good history.”
The approval ratings are in for the first couple of weeks of President Obama’s presidency. Of the seven actions Obama has taken, five are supported by a large majority of Americans.However, ratings are low for the other two actions, the lowest being for Obama’s decision to allow funding for overseas family planning groups that provide abortions.
