Does President Obama's Religion Matter?

Does President Obama's religion matter?

     Last weekend, at a rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, television personality, Glenn Beck boldly criticized President Obama's religion.  Mr. Beck called it a "perversion."  He said that America "isn't recognizing the president's version of Christianity."  Mr. Beck characterized it as "liberation theology."

     Despite critique of Mr. Obama's Christianity a recent poll showed that nearly 20% of Americans believe falsely that the president is Muslim.

Weapons in Worship

Weapons in Worship

Recently, some New York-area rabbis are planning to bring weapons to High Holy Day services this month to guard against terrorist threats. In June 2009, a Kentucky pastor invited his congregation members to bring their firearms to church to celebrate the Second Amendment.  

Do weapons belong in worship? Should clergy be armed? Do the Ten Commandments trump the Second Amendment?

Welcome To My Blog

I hope this Blog will be interactive and spark questions regarding the Sunday Sermon, a Bible lesson, a Sunday School lesson, or specific topics on Christian Living. I hope it will change from week to week and it will be open to all.
