This site is a yearlong journey through the eyes of Noah as if he lived today. It sheds light on the morbid and horrifying truths about the loss of integrity and the sins that are overtaking our nation.
1 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus
~Edmund Burke"
I recently came across the website atheistinamerica.com. It is a website based on
the fact that God and the bible are nothing more than a myth. I joined the site
and I've posted a few things in hope that the man behind the website might see things
from a different light. I'm going to try and see if he is willing to open a dialog
so that we can discuss what we both believe and why.
The rise of atheism is a very dangerous thing for the church. We all need to be
knowledgeable and know why we believe in God and his word. The Here is a artilce
I found on Apologetics Press that I really liked, I hope you enjoy it.

It’s so important that we elect leaders that are Christians. Not just in our government,
but in every aspect of our lives. Many of the founders of America were associated
with various Bible societies.
(Revolutionary War soldier and Governor of New Jersey, Joseph Bloomfield,
was a member of the New Jersey Bible Society. Revolutionary War officer and Governor
of Massachusetts, John Brooks, served as president of the Middlesex County Bible
Society. Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court and U.S. Senator, James
Burrell, Jr., served as president of the Providence Auxiliary Bible Society. James
McHenry, Secretary of War and signer of the federal Constitution, was a founder
and president of the Baltimore Bible Society. Rufus Putnam, Revolutionary War Brigadier-General
as well as Surveyor-General under Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson, served
as president of the Ohio Bible Society. Declaration signer and Surgeon-General of
the Continental Army, Benjamin Rush, served as founder and vice-president of the
Philadelphia Bible Society. These lists could be greatly expanded. [NOTE: see American
Bible Society, 1816 and Barton, 2000, pp. 139-143, for lengthy listings.]

As Reported on CNN.com (Chinese police have busted two child-trafficking
rings after a six-month nationwide investigation, rescuing 178 children and arresting
608 suspects, the country's Ministry of Public Security announced this week.)
It’s great that the child-trafficking crimes have taken a hit in china recently.
However we know there are many places in the world where child-trafficking is very
strong. Could this be something that could grow America?

Around 20 people were killed recently in Nigeria during a meeting after the deaths
of 4 others earlier last week. We can remember all the dangers that the apostles
faced and how they stayed strong to the faith even to the point of death, this is
the case here.
We as Christians living in America don’t face as many dangers as those in other
place of the world. But could that change? And if so, how soon?

Recently released, a series of videos that use current language and slang to teach
teens about safe sex. The article I read was about how people were upset about the
inappropriateness of the videos and not the fact that they were teaching safe sex
to teens.
First we all need to take a step back and realize that videos that teach safe sex
are inappropriate no matter how their written or filmed. Also that we should not
be teaching our teens about safe sex period. We should be teaching them that sex
is not allowed and is not acceptable until marriage. And even more importantly,
this should be taught by the parents, not the school system.

"Why young Christians aren't waiting anymore" was the title of an article written
last September. It talked about how young unmarried Christians are having premarital
sex almost as much as their non-Christian peers. A recent study showed that 80 percent
of unmarried Christian 18 to 29 said that they have had sex, which was slightly
less than 88 percent of unmarried adults.
One Christian girl spoke out saying said she wanted to wait until marriage to have
sex. But that she started having sex with her college boyfriend when she turned
20 because nearly everyone, even most of her Christian friends, were having sex.
"It seemed everyone in my life, older and younger, had “done it.” In fact, I waited
longer than most people I knew and longer than both of my sisters, even though we
were all Christians and came from a good home."

With each passing year more and more laws are enacted that aid in overlooking sin
and making things that were once unacceptable now standard practice.
We are going to look at some of the laws that went into effect this year.
As Reported on CNN.com (California now has a provision requiring
that schools add "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" to the list
of those whose contributions "to the development of California and the United States"
must be taught in schools. Another California law adds "gender identity and gender

Five states now allow same-sex civil unions. Hawaii and Delaware joined Illinois,
New Jersey, and Rhode Island this week of states that support and recognize same-sex
civil unions.
As Reported on CNN.com (Delaware said its new law became effective
at 10 a.m. Sunday. In Hawaii, online application for civil union licenses was made
available beginning at midnight, despite the fact that government offices are closed
until Tuesday, the state government said.)
As Reported on CNN.com (In both Hawaii and Delaware, the language of the law emphasizes
that "it is not the legislature's intent to revise the definition or eligibility
requirements of marriage.") It may not be their intent but that is exactlly
what they are doing.

The start of this year is beginning on Sunday. Which is the Lords Day, the first
day of the week. How did you start this year? I hope that you started it worshipping
with other Christians and reflecting on the sacrifice of Jesus.
Many people and even some that would call themselves Christians no longer support
or give any attention to Sunday as a day of worship. Let's look at the examples
we have that show Sunday as being a special day for worship. Here are some important
things to consider:
