Resolve against Terror

This Fox News Article has a great couple of paragraphs.

I hope Americans still have this kind of resolve left...

An Iraqi officer near Sinjar told me that recently a group of perhaps 20 "jihadists," many of them foreign, descended on a Nineveh village. The Iraqi officer said the terrorists killed some adults and two babies. One baby they murdered was 15 days old.

Until recently, such terror attacks inside Iraq could have coerced the village into sheltering Al Qaeda. Yet this time, the "jihadists" got an unexpected reception. Local men grabbed their rifles and poured fire on the demons, slaughtering them.

Guns and Peace

Here's a couple of articles I found interesting today.

Gun Control

This makes it very interesting why liberals in general want more and more gun control. This article makes that idea foolish because it would increase violent crime overall, not decrease it.

Christians and Muslims

Satan's attack on Christianity seems to come on all fronts. With one part of the Muslim world, he wants all Christians to pay tax or die under Islamic government. On the other part of the attack, he wants Christians to dilute the truths about Christianity so that everyone can live at peace.

I am thankful that we already know the outcome of this conflict.

11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.(NKJV)

Temporary Marriage

Temporary Marriage
"Temporary marriage is God's rule. We must aggressively encourage that"
I find this interesting. Prostitution is illegal, but temporary marriages of a few hours are not? No doubt the standard morality in the West is no better, but Christians aren't authorizing such things. God's holy law isn't watered down to make sure everyone can follow it; no, the standard is firm and shows us our sin and our inability to live up to the real standard.

Within Christianity there is real sin and real forgiveness of sin; is either concept really found anywhere else?
