Conviction of Pastor Sought for 'Homosexual Hate Speech'

Social conservatives across Canada are up in arms over the recent ruling by the Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) against Christian pastor Steve Boissoin, who was accused of propogating "hate speech" by writing a letter to the editor of the Red Deer Advocate outlining his disagreement with the homosexualist activist agenda.

Obama’s Success Demonstrates That the American Ideal of Equality for All Still Holds True, by Joseph C. Phillips
“Barack Obama has been ordained by God” to be our next president. Or so read the email from a friend of mine. Of course, he is not alone in this opinion. Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is on record as suggesting that this Obama victory “is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance." I remain unconvinced that the senator’s clinching the Democratic nomination is on a par with, say, parting the Red Sea or rising from the dead -- Obama’s promise in his victory speech that his administration will “heal the planet” and calm the oceans notwithstanding. I am, however, excited by the historical moment.

New 'Pro-Life Pharmacies' Defend Religious, Moral Objections

In 2002, Neil Noesen, a Wisconsin pharmacist and devout Roman Catholic, faced a nightmare after he was slapped with $20,000 in court fines and restrictions on his license for refusing to hand a patient prescription that could be used for an abortion. That case, like dozens of other similar cases that have dotted the nation, have spurred the development of a growing number of new “pro-life pharmacies” that cater specifically to guarding the religious objections of pharmacists opposed to contraceptives and abortion drugs.

George Lucas Behind New Tuskegee Airmen Film
The black airmen whose lives will be the basis of a George Lucas movie know the picture will highlight their record of successfully escorting thousands of U.S. bombers in World War II.

On "Being Saved" in Black America
While growing up in a very religious and church-going family, I often heard the phrase "Being Saved." Now to me and my peers, "Being Saved" was a rather spooky and mystical thing, and only the real holy folk could be such — whatever it was.

Pastor of the Week: Dr. Stan B. Bennett, Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, Richmond, VA
Dr. Stanley (Stan) Bennett was born in Fairfield, Alabama on August 12, 1950. On November 18, 1972, Dr. Stan B. Bennett married Deborah E. Patterson.  They are blessed with one daughter, Pamela McCoy; and, two sons: Mathew and Jonathan.  Dr. and Mrs. Bennett are privileged to be the grandparents of several grandchildren. On July 29, 1979, after returning home from work as an assistant business manager, God began to burden this young black man's heart to receive Christ as Savior.  After receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, God shortly thereafter led he and his family to an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church. Dr. Stanley Bennett was not called to build a "Black Church," but rather a church for all people!  It is his belief that one day black, white, Hispanic and Asian will live together in heaven.  Because of this, it ought to be able to work on earth, in the house of God!  To God be the glory, great things He has done! "...and yet there is room."
