A few years ago, Deanne and I took a few weeks vacation during the summer with our kids. When we came back to our church the next Sunday, I got up to preach and was interrupted in my sermon.

It’s official: The “pastor issue” as regards the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is old hat. Why? Because it’s not about radical pastors anyway, and never was; it’s an issue of whether or not it is plausible that Obama sat in a church which teaches the racist, Marxist, anti-American doctrine of Black Liberation

Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's former pastor (and even that's still debatable), is being replaced at the Trinity Church, but the new one, Otis Moss, is just as disturbing: Barack Obama has finally distanced himself from Rev.

  During a 2005 sermon, a fundamentalist pastor whom Senator John McCain has praised and campaigned with called Islam "the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world," claiming that the historic mission of America is to see "this false religion destroyed." In this taped sermon, currently sold by his megachurch, the Reverend Rod Parsley reiterates and amplifies harsh and derogatory comments about Islam he made in his book, Silent No More, published the same year he delivered these remarks. Meanwhile, McCain has stuck to his stance of not criticizing Parsley, an important political ally in a crucial swing state. In March 2008—two weeks after McCain appeared with Parsley at a Cincinnati campaign rally, hailing him as "one of the truly great

Glenn Beck: Obama's odd timing on Wright - CNN.com Obama's political excommunication of Wright is not only a sudden and stark departure from his vaunted Philadelphia speech on race -- it also appears to be retroactive. In his press conference he said about Wright: "I know that one thing that he said was true, that he was never my "spiritual adviser." He was never my spiritual mentor. He was my pastor. And to some extent how the press characterized in the past that relationship, I think, was inaccurate."I hate to give Glenn Beck any more attention. In fact I often try to ignore him as a rule. Unfortunately, in this argument I think he is expressing the views of an growing contingent of uninformed or really thoughtless people.I have many problems with the problem that Obama faces in deali

Yes, my friends, THIS is who I am voting for, in November. ---------------------------- Taken from NewsWithViews.Com: IF I WERE PRESIDENT By Pastor Chuck Baldwin May 2, 2008 Due to my frequent criticisms of President George W. Bush, I am often asked what I would do if I were President of these United States. This column will serve as an attempt to answer that question. If I were President, I would begin the process of safely extracting our troops from Iraq. In the first place, our troops are no longer fighting a war, they are an occupation force, which occupies a sovereign country. And this is being done without a Declaration of War. The Iraqi people resent our occupation as much as we would resent another nation stronger than ours invading and occupying America. If such

Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s pastor is sparking controversy yet again with his speeches. Obama spoke again on Tuesday to denounce the recent comments he has made and Obama has made it clear that he does not agree with the positions that Wright has taken. Wright spoke before the National Press Club on Monday in an effort to defend himself after Obama denounced the first remarks that were made famous on the internet and cable news networks. Comments that were made by Wright at the National Press Club forced Obama to take an even more aggressive stance in his opposition to the extreme comments made by the pastor. The Wright controversy has captivated the 24 hour cable news channels and other media news outlets. The media has not slowed down their coverage of the contr

From: When is a Jeremiah not a Jeremiah? by Andrew R.

Falwell, as many will recall, laid the attacks at the feet of those who have pursued a secular public square in the United States. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked….[T]he pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in the

O People of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth.

A reader e-mailed this story to me, and even if it took me awhile to get it posted, I could not help but do so. It seems that a former pastor in Northumberland County, Rev. Raymond Clayton, has admitted to an interesting case of identity theft. Specifically, he used his parishioners' identities to obtain credit cards. He plead guilty to fraud in federal court and will be sentenced in June.I realize that Jesus needs huge sums of money, but this story seems to be yet another piece of evidence to support the possibility that con artists are overrepresented among clergy. I've said it before and will keep repeating it: the sort of blind faith religion demands makes people more susceptible to many forms of exploitation by those who cloak themselves in religion.Tags: Northumberland County, Rev.

For years I have been trying to determine how people who call themselves Christians can justifiably vote for a candidate who represents a down right evil platform. A liberal’s support for such abominations as gay marriage, abortion and other issues are repulsive to and are directly in defiance to the word of God. I could never understand how a person can sit in church on Sunday morning and then go out the very next day to rally around a candidate or become a candidate who not only supports such issues but fights to promote them as well.Although I myself am a sinner who often falls short of the glory of God, my vote against such evil practices are a no-brainer to me. I had previously theorized that the problem lies with the misconception of many that one only has to attend a church or be

My, how the worm has turned. Hillary, like Hannity, is quick to denounce Rev. Jeremiah Wright - without good reason I might add. Recently she stated that Wright "would not have been my pastor". How ironic considering her former pastor, Dean Snyder of the Foundry United Methodist Church, thinks quite highly about the much lambasted Wright. From a statement posted on his Church's website: The Reverend Jeremiah Wright is an outstanding church leader whom I have heard speak a number of times. He has served for decades as a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society. He has been a vocal critic of the racism, sexism and homophobia which still tarnish the American dream.
