When does it stop? 2007-09-11 21:04:00 One of the questions I ask in the book is when, or at what point does the increasing depravity of the world stop. A new example is the new kiddie porn movie shown at the Toronto film festival. While, the actress was 18 at the time of the filming, she depicted a 13 year old that was being abused by her adult neighbor, her father and engaged in sexual relations with her boyfriend all in graphic detail. One of the actors, Aaron Eckhart, rationalized his part in the movie by saying that it brought attention to child abuse. I think that you can make people aware of abuse without acting it out in great detail on the screen. While many who watched it walked out, many watched. How much longer will it be before no one walks out? Our consciences and our sensibilities are being worn down by popular culture.

Chapter-by-Chapter Summary 2007-09-09 17:28:00 Chapter Summary
The World’s ConditionThis chapter details from the modern record just how lax our morals have become and what we and our children are engaging in today. Sex, crime, permissiveness, ethical issues and the decline of traditional religious beliefs are documented in this chapter.Why We Love ItDespite how corrupt the world has become, there are few who really want to change or return to a more traditional society. We have become so selfish that we only focus on our own desires and seeing that our children get everything they desire despite the dangers in some cases. We will put up with a more dangerous world because to return to God means following Him and giving up sin. Many today have no conscience to help them see right from wrong or call them back to God. That is the real danger.How We Got Here – Popular Psychology MovementOur selfishness stems from the rise of this movement that encourages us to focus on ourselves. Parenting books taught us to be permissive and we ar Read more:Chapter
Book Infomation 2007-09-05 11:45:00 The book is in the editing stage by the publisher, J. C. Choate so no release date has been set yet. However, the summary provided should get the discussion started. Do you agree with my assertions? Do you disagree? Whatever your position, let us discuss it here.
Introduction 2007-09-05 11:28:00 This book will be an eye opener as to what we have gotten ourselves into and what we must do to return to a relationship with God according to His will. The reader will be challenged to really look at the world’s condition and how it affects their daily lives. We don’t realize how much we are affected by society’s moral decline and this will show the reader what is happening around them and to them.Our society’s condition is one of moral decay and religious decline. There are many problems that exist today. Religion is under attack by a progressively secular society, while perverse pleasures and other sins are celebrated and encouraged in the world. Our children are growing up with morals and without a conscience. In some cases they are encouraged to engage in behavior that was forbidden in the past. We put up with increased crime and abuses of every kind. We put up with these problems because we are self-absorbed. We do not desire to return to a more moral society because we Read more:Introduction
I agree with Christopher Hitchens! 2007-09-17 15:55:00 Christopher Hitchens is the popular atheist who wrote "God Is Not Good". Here is an excerpt from my book where I agree with one of his statements." There is one thing that Hitchens states that I agree is true. He challenges the Christian to admit that we have only faith to rely on and not facts.[1] That is true; we have nothing but a faith in God and a bunch of arguments to support that faith. What does the atheist have other than a faith that God does not exist and a bunch of arguments to support their faith. There is nothing more to say about a book that says nothing new.[1] Hitchens, Christopher, “God Is Not Great”, Twelve Books, Paris, 2007, page 122."My book differs from most other apologetic works in that I approach the detractors of Christianity and religion in general by exposing their lies, deceptions, errors, and changing hypotheses and theories. Their evidence is no better than ours, but neither camp has a smoking gun for its viewpoint. To the atheist I say, Read more:Christopher
Degradation of Society 2007-11-02 09:49:00 If you are still not convinced that we are, as the title of my book says "Going To Hell In A Handbasket" then you probably have not seen or even heard of the Folsum Street Fair held in San Francisco. Sexual deviates of every stripe publicly display their decadence for all to see. One site with photos displays a warning before you can enter it at http://www.zombietime.com/folsom_sf_2007_part_1/. You can read other stories without having to subject yourself to the images on the site to get an idea of the activities engaged by these God haters. I suggest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folsom_Street_Fair which has other news references to the event. They even had a poster mimicking the Lord's Supper by Michelangelo with leather clad, semi-nude characters for the Apostles and Jesus with sex toys for the food and cups. Some parents even brought their children to witness this event so that they could see the "diversity." God may give us free will to worship Him or not. The country may grant us Read more:Society
"It's A Madhouse!" 2007-11-12 16:11:00 In my book I refer to the line uttered by Charlton Heston in the movie, "Planet of the Apes" when the apes are hosing him down. The plot has apes higher on the evolutionary scale than humans and as an astronaut from our time he struggles with this topsy-turvy situation. Well, it's the Holiday Season again and the attacks on Christmas have begun. One of our high schools has banned the use of the word "Christmas" from a charity drive put on by the students. You can read the whole story here http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/11/hot-button_issue_school_orders.php. A few weeks ago I was reading about a school in Maine that wants to give 11 year-olds birth control pills. That one is at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,303521,00.html If you have been around for a number of years you have probably seen how society has moved from a reverence of God to a reverence of Government. When will this trend stop? How low will we sink? Is there no bottom to which we can fall?NIV Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those
From Hula-hoops to Getting Lucky 2007-12-10 09:12:00 Many of us have grown up with Alvin and the Chipmunks and enjoyed their antics over the years, but a new movie is coming out this Christmas Season that recasts them as modern sexually aware rodents. They have gone from not wanting to get a hula-hoop for Christmas to wanting to "get lucky." You can see the lyrics of the soundtrack at http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/a/alvinthechipmunks8588.htmlWhile the rating is PG per the website http://www.alvinandthechipmunksmovie.com/, the film features the chipmunks doing the familiar "chica chica wow wow" mimicking pornographic movie soundtracks and Alvin showering in the dishwasher singing "don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me." Despite these "warnings" many parents will take their small children to see this movie and our precious little ones will be imitating and singing what they have seen on the screen. Will the next Alvin movie feature chipmunks lovemaking? We must call attention to what we are doing to our children and return to
Do you agree, or do you agree? 2007-12-19 09:47:00 I like to joke with others using a twist on the familiar "Do you agree, or disagree?" question. Like the title of the post, the scientific community does not like anyone who does not agree with them. In the book, I outline several accounts of people who were denied positions because they believed in creation. Another incident has come to my attention and you can read the whole story at http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/12/lawsuit_argues_expert_biologis.phpIt is evident that science is closed-minded to anything that challenges their own beliefs about the unobservable. The public is unaware of the fact that it takes a great amount of faith to believe some of the theories advanced by science to explain why we are here.
Just The facts Ma'am 2008-02-29 21:44:10 Many are familiar with this line from the TV show Dragnet. "Just the facts
ma'am." Well this could apply to just the headlines on Fox News today. "Mom arrested with pot in baby's system." "Teacher Allegedly Sends Boy Topless Pictures." "Deputy, Daughters Killed; 17-Year-Old Son Arrested." "Disciplinary charges filed against unspecified number of New Jersey SWAT team members who cavorted and posed for pictures with Hooters girls."As Sonny and Cher once said, "The beat goes on." However, there is an answer to what we see every day. God offers us a refuse in Him that shelters and comforts us in the midst of what we see each and every day in this world. Dispite the terrible things we see and hear there is a refuse. I remember a painting named "Sanctuary" that depicted a small bird that was in
Wanted, bus drivers. 2008-02-23 19:51:08 Just about every school bus out there has a bumper sticker advertising for bus drivers. Many people don't want to subject themselves to the unruly behavior of some of our kids and some who do find out the hard way that it is very frustrating.We have always had those "bad eggs" that caused trouble in their youth. There was always a few youths who talked back to teachers, parents and other authority figures. However, it seems that we are raising a whole society of young people who can't deal with their anger in constructive ways. In the past it was rare when a young person talked back and/or hit an adult. Now we see video after video of fights on school buses between the students and the driver. We read of students attacking teachers and other adults. After all the wisdom dispensed in the ho
Get over it, or get it out! Make up your mind! 2008-02-22 08:30:24 In my book, I mentioned the cross that was removed from the College of William and Mary campus. The campus president deemed that it might be offensive to some studying at the college. However, what the college did not find offensive was the "Sex Workers Art Show." While it is OK to remove a cross that represented the faith of its founders for the sake of other's feelings, they ignored the feelings of others and allowed this show to take place on the campus. While you may say that his resignation shows there is some sanity there, it must be noted that the student body has rallied to his defense (,2933,330470,00.html). When it comes to sex they say, "Get over it!" However, when it comes to religion they say, "Get it out!" They are offended because religion and its symbols cause a spark of co
Free Speech, or Agree Speech? 2008-02-22 08:28:57 One of the problems I wrote about in my book deals with the freedom of academics to espouse their belief in creationism. A teacher was denied tenure just because he said that creationism should be explored just like any scientific theory. This story is featured at They not only deny tenure to those who believe in intelligent creation, but now they will deny tenure to someone who believes that creationism should be studied scientifically. Why is science afraid of that? You would think that they would welcome a serious study so that they could use the information to destroy it. Are they afraid that it might be plausible? I think so. The truth about their lies needs to be exposed to the masses so that they can see just what they are staking their eternity on before it's too late!There is a p Read more:Speech

I hate to say I told you so. 2008-02-22 08:27:53 I'm sitting here writing my next book and what comes across the television screen, yet another shooting at Louisiana Tech in Baton Rouge, LA. This one follows the six killed in Kirkwood, MO by a disgruntled contractor and the botched robbery near Chicago that left five dead. Please pray for the families and friends of these victims. Lives are torn apart by the uncontrollable anger of someone who, in many cases have never been in trouble with the law. When we lose our faith in God it is no wonder that some feel that they have no other recourse than to harm others and themselves. When we feel that we are just another animal on the earth and it all means nothing because we will just cease to exist when we die then some come to the conclusion that in certain circumstances life is not worth liv
Defending Their Rights To Pollute 2008-02-22 08:26:08 Abercrombie & Fitch continue to stretch the limits of their rights verses the rights of communities to maintain some level of decency for their citizens. The latest flap is over posters confiscated by police because they violated the city's laws. You can read more about it here ,2933,328227,00.html.The posters show one young man with his pants half way down his buttocks and a woman with most of her breast showing. Abercrombie defends their right to display the posters, but what are really saying? They are saying that they have the right to pollute our society with their filth. Young children see these images and others in the public space and at home and are affected by it. That is why we have children performing sex in elementary schools. The only people who can't smell the sewage treatme Read more:Rights
Combat Shopping 2008-02-22 08:24:55 It used to be that the term "combat shopping" meant a bunch of people rushing into a store for the best sale of the season to get the best deals. Six women, just minding their own business in a store near Chicago faced one of our greatest fears. An animal, that is the only way you can describe someone who kills in cold blood, entered the store and killed five of the six people in that store. You can read more about the tragedy at ,2933,328388,00.html.The frequency of these massacres is growing, yet no one attributes it to our society and its emphasis on greed, selfishness, dehumanizing behavior, and a lack of conscience. This is what social engineering in the Twentieth Century has wrought. I think most know what would turn this around and make us a better society. However, no one wants to Read more:Shopping
Do You Know Jack? 2008-02-22 08:22:55 There was a recent Jack In The Box commercial that featured Jack and his wife in a hot tub with another couple. The other guy can only be described as looking like a 70's disco porn star. The women ask Jack if he is into "new things" and he says yes. Then the two women say, "Let's make a Jack sandwich!" If you have not seen the commercial, you can see it at . Once again we have an example of how pornography is becoming mainstream and not a marginalized culture like in the past. These commercials stream into our living rooms and we are slowly being degraded by these images until our conscience no longer sounds the alarm. Lot could not save anyone but his wife and two daughters. His wife was destroyed because she did not heed God's command to not look back at the wicked cities. How long wil
Clear Eyes 2008-01-17 19:04:14 An interesting article can be found at and features a discussion with Ben Stein of "Clear
Eyes" commercial fame about the assault by the scientific community on the First Amendment regarding Intelligent Design. He stated that he had always assumed that scientists were free to inquire about the origins of our world and mankind. However, as I have previously stated, there is a lot of evidence to show that any belief in Intelligent Design is met with censure by the scientific community. In the film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" due out in February, Stein battles the Darwinians over the question of whether we were created or started out as slime struck by lightning. More info on the movie at . Additionally, Intelligent Design proponents state that medical research is being stifled by s
Down, but not out 2008-01-04 21:04:27 A controversial teen club in Allen, Texas was recently ordered to shutdown by the city. However, it was not for the obvious reasons you may think. Club Toxic catered to the teen crowd with dance floors, but they also had pole and cage dancers and two girls shilouetted against a sheet engaging in provocative dancing. They were not closed because of the provocative practices, but because they violated the zone and licensing laws of Allen. In fact, the city council said they could apply for the proper license and reopen. This is what our children face as they grow up. We may try to shelter them and try to instill Christian values in them, but sadly, these qualities are eroded by the sinful nature of this society. Now, almost anything goes, but how long will it be before anything goes. The who
A WHAT kind of mayor? 2008-03-11 18:33:05 New Orleans Mayor, Ray Nagin states that he is a "vagina-friendly" mayor as he welcomed the "Vagina Monologues" to the city. This is the kind of behavior we see from those in government and it is no wonder our children are turning out the way they do today. The recent news about the Governor of New York and his sex scandal shows how our society is declining further into the abyss of degradation. The root causes of our moral slide are popular psychology, evolution, science, atheism and even self-indulgent religion. They diminish the faith of many and they don't feel a need to have a strong faith. Faith is our victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). Without it we do not overcome and our condition reflects that fact.
She can handle What? 2008-03-13 21:01:40 The mother of the prostitute caught up in the NY Governor's scandle stated that her daughter was a bright girl who could handle the governor. Were they having a debate? The nonchallant attitude of her mother gives us an indication of why she sought to earn a living this way. Her neighbors also felt that her occupation was not unusual or scandalious. This is exactly what I describe in my book about the condition of society today. Pornography is mainstreamed and considered as any other business endeavor. Will we be shocked when our children grow up and want to be hookers and porn stars instead of doctors and lawyers?

Baby = Punishment 2008-04-06 20:17:21 One of the signs of the breakdown of society is how it treats its vulnerable citizens. Presidential candidate, Barak Obama recently stated ( ) that if his daughters made a mistake, he would not punish them with a baby. In other words, they could have an abortion. I guess he would punish the innocent baby rather than the guilty parties. Our constitution states that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but they find a way to distort the laws to fit their selfish lifestyles. This is part of the death culture that has become a part of who we are today. The real news is that it did not hurt him in the polls. It would seem that most of American society feels the same way. How long before other inconvenient persons are eliminated because they can't defend themselves. Read more:Punishment
Can You See Me Now? 2008-04-14 08:09:30 The latest trend in teen dating is to send naked pictures taken on their cell phones and sending it to someone they are interested in dating. Our children are progressing toward animal-like mating behavior and this is the latest evidence of it. Studies show that teens are more interested in image and fame rather than the more important aspects of dating such as character. It may make the news, but what do the parents of these teens think about it. Some will be appalled, but there will be some that will say that they are just being teens and no different from their peers. When these teens grow up, what will they be doing?

Deconstructing Jesus 2008-04-23 12:53:02 Many over the years have tried to diminish Jesus
' divinity, miracles and claims. The latest to try this is Basic Instinct Director, Paul Verhoeven. He spent 20 years researching Jesus and all he can come up with is theory and conjecture about Jesus. Yet, I'm sure his claims will be met with much fanfare by the secular world that seeks to remove God from their lives. However, no serious scholar will even consider the validity of his claims because they are just speculation. No credible evidence has ever been produced to show that Jesus did not resurrect, or that He did not perform the miracles the Gospels document. Even secular accounts show that Jesus lived and his followers were being persecuted by the Romans. Josephus and others wrote concerning Jesus and His followers. This is covered i
