Check out the new blog that my wife just started on the new addition to our family! She will be doing most of the posting and I will occasionally contribute a post as well.
According to this post in one of Joel Rosenberg's blogs, Muslims in the middle east are trusting in Christ for their salvation in record numbers! Of course, this big news isn't being reported in the mainstream media, but that doesn't mean that it's not happening. Here is an excerpt from Joel's report:
Consider the latest evidence:
* AFGHANISTAN --
In Afghanistan, for example, there were only 17 known evangelical
Christians in the country before al-Qaeda attacked the United States.
Today, there are well over 10,000 Afghan followers of Christ and the
number is growing steadily. Church leaders say Afghan Muslims are open
to hearing the gospel message like never before. Dozens of baptisms
occur every week. People are snatching up Bibles and other Christian
books as fast as they can be printed or brought into the country. The Jesus
film, a two hour docudrama on the life of Christ based on the Gospel of
Luke, was even shown on television in one city before police shut down
the entire TV station."God is moving so fast in Afghanistan, we're just
trying to keep up," one Afghan Christian worker told me, requesting
anonymity. "The greatest need now is leadership development. We need to
train pastors to care for all these new believers."
* UZBEKISTAN -- There were no known Muslim converts to Christ there in 1990. Now there are more than 30,000.
* IRAQ --
Check out this article by Mercola that reports a court case in which the government conceded that mercury in vaccines caused autism in one 9 year old girl.
Think this means that vaccines will soon be recalled from all doctors' offices and immediately ordered to stop being administered? I highly doubt it. There is no way that the big drug companies will allow that kind of a hit to their bottom line. Hopefully though this will help people who choose not to vaccinate their children by convincing the government that vaccines should not be mandatory. We need the right to choose if we are willing to take the risk of vaccinating ourselves and our children or not.
If you haven't heard yet, I'm going to be a dad! We are expecting our first child sometime around July 23rd. I'm very excited and can't wait to meet this new little person. I blogged about my reaction to becoming a dad on my other blog and I posted some pictures from our ultrasound there as well. I hope you enjoy them! I hope to do some more blogging about becoming a dad in the future.
I believe that all current and furture parents should educate themselves on the pros and cons of vaccinating their children. Recently I watched this very informative video about vaccines and I highly recommend it. It is pretty long, but it is very interesting and full of information. You could watch it on your regular movie night instead of watching another piece of cheap hollywood propaganda...
"Modern commerce has deliberately robbed some of nature's foods of much of their body building material while retaining the hunger satisfying energy factors. For example, in the production of refined white flour approximately eighty percent or four-fifths of the phosphorus and calcium content are usually removed, together with the viatmins and minerals provided in the embryo or germ. The evidence indicates that a very important factor in the lowering of reproductive efficiency of womanhood is directly related to the removal of vitamin E in the processing of wheat. The germ of wheat is our most readily available source of that vitamin. Its role as a nutritive factor for the pituitary gland in the base of the brain, which largely controls growth and organ function, apparently is important in dtermining the production of mental types. Similarly, the removal of vitamin B with the embryo of the wheat, together with its oxidation after processing, results in depletion of bodybuilding activators." -Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Andrew Price
I found an interesting site the other day. It's a 12 question quiz that determines how knowledgable you are about the Roe v. Wade decision and how it has impacted abortion in our country. The site claims that the average american knows very few details about this controversial decision and they seem to be right based on the average score so far: 59% or an F.
What is your Roe IQ? You can take the test at www.roeiqtest.com If you tell me what you score was in the comments section below, I might let you know what mine is.
