Prayer Provokes Passions

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

When Rev. Joe Wright, pastor of Central Christian Church, led the Kansas House of Representatives in the invocation, it became apparent that some light had pierced the darkness. Sabrina Standifer, R-Wichita, walked out while Delbert Gross, D-Hays, sat down. Gross described the prayer as “divisive, sanctimonious, self-serving, and overbearing.” Rep. David Haley, D-Kansas City railed, “I take personal umbrage to the prayer we had to suffer through this morning. We’ve got to respect one another. His prejudice and his perversion … Continue reading →

Science and economic change have disrupted the old beliefs. Religions the world over are under the necessity of coming to terms with new conditions created by a vastly increased knowledge and experience. In every field of human activity, the vital movement is now in the direction of a candid and explicit humanism. … Continue reading →

African American People

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

An inquiry into African American people typically reveals probably the most recognizable names. Barack Obama, Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver and plenty of others come to mind. From horse racing to hockey, an African American notable may be attached to just about every professional calling as a pioneer. When America took shape as a nation, African Americans played a major role in each confrontation, each battle, each struggle, within the name of freedom. The legacy of African … Continue reading →

Tools Of Control – Mass Media

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Mass media is the most powerful tool in the armory of control. Used extensively by government special interest groups and companies, Mass Media has the power to shape lives, implant convictions and propagate bias and fear. Mass Media is an irresistible psychological method of brainwashing that no person can escape from over a period of time. Mass Media, even though it has the ability to shape lives in a positive fashion sad to say, this hasn’t been its sole purpose. … Continue reading →

Growing Up Black

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

For some, growing up black entailed battling the twisted perceptions attributable to the legacy of slavery. Cultures have depended upon slavery as a supply of low value labor since ancient times. In America, the slave trade of Africans into North America started within the 1400s and was deemed unlawful by 1808, yet the smuggling continued beyond the ban for one more 50 years. Despite restrictions in the legal slave trade, slavery thrived in the production of cotton, tobacco, sugar and … Continue reading →

Arguing Against Gun Control in America

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Gun control or controlling the availability of gun as a weapon of defense is one of the most contentious laws in modern times. Gun control advocates want to severely restrict the availability of a gun to the citizens of America. Does it mean that the citizens of America are too casual or ill tempered that they will not be able to handle a gun? The answer is no. The groups who have been advocating the gun control norms have always … Continue reading →

Today’s Christians: No Hope in God’s Way

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

By Chuck Baldwin July 9, 2008 I ask the indulgence of my non-churched readers, as this column is specifically designed to challenge the hearts and minds of professing believers. The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah faced a generation that is very similar to the one we face today, I am afraid. Political and corporate leaders had given themselves over to corruption and duplicity. The fundamental underpinnings that founded and supported the nation were being dismantled. And the spiritual leaders seemed to … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

In an effort for many people or groups to remain “politically correct”, they are shying away from using the phrase merry Christmas for fear of offending someone who may not believe in this particular season. Over the past decade or so, some major corporations opted to use the phrase happy holidays instead and suffered a serious backlash from their decision that they reverted back to using Merry Christmas in all of their greetings. For many people, the phrase is representative … Continue reading →

Welfare: Is It Biblical?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Any cursory review of this issue has to conclude that we have to change welfare as we know it. We simply cannot continue to handle this problem as we have in the past. Having established this as a premise, what does the Bible reveal about this critical matter? Can we discharge our responsibilities to the poor by personal charitable action or through supporting the humanitarian (i.e. welfare) policies of the State? President Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” is now into … Continue reading →

Faces of Evil

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

These are the faces that will burn an indelible stain on history of oppression, lies, murder, and crimes against humanity. What’s the common denominator in all these people? It would appear they have all been influenced by Satan to some degree or other. They have all demonstrated their hatred for humanity and desire to control and dominate others. Most have committed unspeakable crimes and have been traitors to their people. It’s pure evil on parade. When will we ever learn … Continue reading →
