Comments Off on Julian Assange brazenly rips off the “World Tomorrow”, Blog, by CGP.
The infamous Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, has started up on Russia’s state-funded RT (formerly Russian Times) cable broadcaster a weekly talk show program, The World Tomorrow. To many it is apparent that Assange ripped off the name of the long-running religious program called The World Tomorrow TV broadcast. Wow, Assange has a real load of hutzpah, but then we already knew that!
Comments Off on Rather Outspoken on Who Controls the News, Blog, by CGP.
For better than 40 years Dan Rather worked in mainstream journalism. In fact he was a “star” reporter among his fellow journalists from the early 1960s to 2005. Rather worked as the evening news anchor for the elite media outlet—the CBS News network—during a time when the TV news supplanted the newspapers and radio as the most important source of the news that Americans depended upon to keep them up to date with what was going in their nation and world. For Rather, quality journalism demands grit…
Comments Off on America’s Midwest cursed with drought…, Blog, by CGP.
I recently returned from a visit to my dad who lives in the irrigated farming area of southern Idaho’s Snake River Valley. After leaving a very green and lush British Columbia, once I drove south into Washington State and then over the pass through the coastal Cascade mountain range immediately east of Seattle, the dominant impression is one of a heat-blasted, parched-brown countryside…drought conditions…
When we understand the nature of the world we live in, a world that is often violent and has no love for the things of God, then we need to know how to deal with the challenges we will face. Josh Patton examines the scriptures that provide us with the wisdom and comfort we need to love our enemies and conduct our spiritual warfare.
The ancient Egyptians had amazing rituals associated with their concept of life after death and the hurdles they believed they had to magically overcome in order to attain eternal life. Jeff Patton contrasts the mythology of the Egyptians with the reality of scriptures and encourages believers to hold fast to the hope of eternal life that is presently a reality in their lives.
We are at a crossroads in history when the fate of our nations is being determined by the actions we take. But our people have been at this place before, long ago. Jeff Patton shows the profound effects of national choices in the stories of Elijah and Josiah, and the lessons for the individuals living in God’s “exceptional nations” today.
When Christ instructed his disciples in his Sermon on the Mount he gave them a warning. This warning was a reiteration of a warning given by Moses and repeated by many of the apostles. What was the warning? Beware of False Prophets even ones who do miracles! Jeff Patton examines the scriptures to get a complete picture of the danger posed by these wolves who masquerade in sheep’s clothing. Can you spot one? Do you know what their defining characteristic is?
We first meet the Devil’s devices in the garden of Eden. There he sowed doubt in the minds of Adam and Eve with his crafty insinuation. “Is it true that God has said…” He first undermined their trust in God as a God of truth. Then, he appealed to their desire to be wise and live forever, with the infamous, “You shall not surely die!” As the Father of lies he obscured the truth that only God could give eternal life as a gift. And though it was ‘true’ that the tree of knowledge would ‘open their eyes’ and give them knowledge, he used this to deceive.
Balaam and the church, what are the lessons for us today? The world is full of irony, like the former KGB head, Vladimir Putin, championing moral conservatism, or the Catholic church espousing religious freedom. Jeff recounts this very old story of double-mindedness, as seen in the biblical account of Balaam.
In a world that is contrary to biblical values we are warned of the reality of the adverse environment and its effect of “wearing out the saints,” and thus discouraging, undermining, and frustrating our efforts to serve God wholeheartedly. Are we aware of this danger in our lives and are we prepared to face and overcome the challenge of being “worn out” by the daily difficulties.
