We can’t even publicly honor the Navy who so bravely carried out and accomplished the whole mission. The Seal who fired the head shot should be leading his Navy brothers up Broadway in a victory hero parade. But of course thats not happening because it might interfere with the afternoon broadcast of Oprah.

Amen! Praise God for our Navy SEALS and thank the Lord that the earth is rid of Bin Laden forever.

Well said! Well said, indeed!

I too have been dumbfounded by the collective hand-wringing and reluctance of many (especially of Christians) to rejoice in the good news of what God has done. I have answered the questions that have come my way here: http://dougenick.blogspot.com/2011/05/on-death-of-wicked.html

Excellent article! I’m quite new to Presuppositional apologetics but now that I have become aware of it all of my thinking has completely changed. Praise God for this Biblical view of apologetics.

Comment on A Personal Note from Pastor Steve (and a FREE sermon!) by John Sampson

Interesting about “terrified of freedom” in connection with RPW. But at least in the Episcopalian C of E, I cannot think of anything less free than (non-RPW) church worship. We are not even allowed to say our own words, only the words of often banal hymns chosen for us, or a liturgy that hardly competes with Cranmer’s.

We may record audio for archiving purposes and those may be available…the channel allows to make previously recorded videos public to view at any time or one can schedule broadcasting. We’ll work out the bugs as we learn the tech.

Any plans for a podcast for those that can’t make it live? It would be wonderful!

I’m sorry, Pastor Steve — deeply sorry and grieved about it — but you will never get our backslidden nation to warn Muslims like that. The very first speech President George W. Bush gave after 9/11 called Islam a religion of peace. To admit that it is not would be to concede that the religion of Pluralism on which our nation now stands, is false. It cannot do that without deep national repentance.

The Lord is sovereign, and He can make it happen. But no impassioned appeals to common sense and rationality will do so.

It is also no surprise that the rights of due process, habeas corpus, liberty of person and travel, etc. — rights that emerged from Medieval feudal laws and were brought hither by our country’s English founders — can have no real meaning apart from a civic life founded on Christian faith. Habeas corpus, for instance, was grounded on the right of a Christian monarch, a servant of God, to know why one of his subjects was being detained. Other rights are founded on the Lord’s prohibitions of man-stealing, theft, murder, etc. Once these rights are thought to be intrinsic to Man AS MAN — as Jefferson, Payne, Rousseau, and Robespierre thought they were — then there is no reason why they should not be sacrificed to whatever the General Will decides is of more pressing value to Man. I learned this from Groen van Prinsterer. You pointed me to him.

“Remove God, and it can no longer be denied that all men are, in the Revolutionary sense of the word, free and equal” — and that they are prostrate before the leering, groping power of the State. It is the General Will that your daughter be groped, so groped she will be. If she, or you, disagree — if you think that it would make more sense to profile terrorists or enact laws against evil, violent religions like Islam — then you are simply mistaken about what the General Will is, and you will be forced to be happy, as Rousseau says.

I recently traveled with my BiPap machine (I have sleep apnea). TSA has to separately scan it for explosives. Well, the nitrate alarm went off and I spent the next 30-40 minutes being searched and swabbed for explosives. Finally, after the umpteenth time of looking, I asked, “What are you expecting to find? There is nothing there?”

Finally, they let me go but I almost missed my flight.
