The type of women’s “liberation” that abandons God’s righteous precepts and statutes is not liberation. It is bondage. The same goes for anything else disguised as freedom, …
In my capacity as someone who consults on the creation of stock indices and also in my capacity as personal investor, I have attended roughly three dozen annual shareholder meetings of publicly traded companies.

The song God Bless America music was penned by Irving Berlin, a composer of thousands of songs. Written against the backdrop of World War I and a national epidemic that was sweeping through homes and hospitals, Berlin longed to pen a simple song that might capture the heart cry of the American people.
early Americans came to the new world for religious freedom, and we based our laws upon the Bible. We had a good foundation and have enjoyed liberty for 245 years. How do we keep our freedom?
To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.” ~ Frederick Douglass
Church legalism is something I am familiar with. I attended a legalistic Church for some years and learnt a lot while I was there.
It took years before I found out what true freedom feels like. In fact for the longest time, I chose to teach others about freedom from my own prison cell.

Greg Laurie’s blog, “Declaration of Dependance” reminds us to remember our founders and how to remember our need for God.
Americans value nothing more than freedom. The concept stands enshrined in our founding documents and in our hearts. But as a civilization, our constant challenge is to understand what freedom is and what it is not. The modern notion of freedom — not actually modern at all, for we borrowed it from old Corinth — is absolute, libertarian freedom. “All things are lawful for me” (1 Corinthians 6:12). Freedom is considered a sacred endowment of the individual. We hold these truths to be self-evide…

My previous post highlighted a quote from Robert Shaw’s commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith (download PDF version) which I have been reading. I found another paragraph in that work that I would like to share with you.

Yesterday, as I was preparing to leave a foreign country to return home after almost two weeks away from the United States, I posted a quick entry called 10 Reasons I Love the USA. A comment to my earlier post convicted me that I needed another post. I often write tongue-in-cheek satire posts that are a reflection of some of the random thoughts that go through my mind at times. This post was one such entry.
Of course, this verse refers to the famous march through the middle of the waters by that powerful leader we know as Moses. Can you imagine how the Israelites felt? They had escaped the years of slavery and persecution to head for what they thought was a chance at real freedom and along came the Pharoah’s finest, ready to put them on the chopping block. Needless to say they were slightly disappointed. Never at a loss for tricks, Moses summoned God, who told them to go through the center of the sea. Yea, right? Yet as strange as that may have sounded at the time the people enter the “water” on dry ground! I know, it doesn’t make sense, but that is what happened, read it for yourself if you don’t believe me.
