Christians and Buddhists: Is there common ground?
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Part 2
Two weeks ago Bethel University in St. Paul, MN had a symposium stating that there could possibly be common ground between the two faiths in the area of "meditation." But what kind of meditating do Buddhists do? A kind of blank-out-your-mind meditation that is not safe or spiritually healthy. Also promoted in the symposium was "Christian Zen." Is this what our Christian colleges are coming to? Jan Markell and a Twin Cities pastor attended the symposium and challenge the school on air.

The Hijacking of 9/11
The infamous date of 9/11 is about to be hijacked. This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with leading the nation along the path of the radical transformation of America. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated September 11 as a National Day of Service.

Why Must Everything Change?
The false teachings among some prominent church leaders have no end nor does the race to unify all religions. My thanks to Mark Tooley of the Institute for Religion and Democracy, World Net Daily, and author Joel Richardson for some background here.

Are We on a Slippery Slope to Fascism?
I have been troubled as I hear people saying that America is heading down a Socialist or Fascist path very similar to what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.

The Cry for a Global Fix
The nightmare on Wall Street is far worse than a dozen movies combined of The Nightmare on Elm Street. The long-predicted financial meltdown of America's debt-ridden economy finally arrived in the Fall of 2008 under the Bush administration.

Why the "Epicenter" Could Shake
There is a lot of speculation these days about Israel's recent missile class warships sailing through the Suez Canal. This was just shortly after an Israeli submarine was spotted, capable of launching a nuclear missile strike in preparation for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Conservatism Won't Save America
Can we take our government back in 2010 or 2012 and in like manner then take America back? That is what the majority of conservative talk show hosts keep proclaiming. I enjoy and learn a great deal from them but they are missing the mark.

Why the Left Is Not Right
I have major issues with what is known as the religious Left. Some people object and feel that their social gospel efforts are needed so I should keep quiet. But the underlying issues are so troubling that I really cannot stay silent. So here goes.

Is this God's Final Warning to America?
Some say America must be punished for her sins, but are they really that much more grave than other wealthy nation? Luke 12:48 reminds us that from those given a great deal will be required much more. Have we used our God-given assets properly?

For Such a Time as This
Christians can shoot their wounded, so I hope no one considers these people to be lesser Christians who need chastisement. They need encouragement. Nobody said it would be easy to be born for such a time as this.

From Pandemics to Loose Nukes
While the panel was discussing the rapidly escalating "signs of the times," it occurred to me that messages are being sent today to the unregenerated (unsaved) and regenerated (saved) world. Both are getting a targeted message that is biblically based. But the two have entirely different worldviews.

Throwing America Under the Bus
The mouthpiece of the new world order -- the mainstream news media -- is falling all over itself to show the images and symbols of how leaders of the 20 most powerful nations on earth came together to "save the world."

The Emergent Church Could Submerge Yours!
A not-so-funny thing happened on the way to the 21st century. In the late 20th century, certain leaders came out stating that we needed a "new way of doing church." That old time religion wasn't good enough.

Desperate Sheep Without a Shepherd
The "New Age Movement" (NAM) has been around since the days of literal Babylon. It gained new strength in the late 1800s and even more in the 1960s, which was the "Age of Aquarius." While all participants are not occultists, they all do love the supernatural and experiential. They have many "gods."

The Latest Catastrophe!
I recently wrote on Hamas in America and about the FBI watching Hamas leaders film a bridge on the East Coast. I will not be repetitive other than to say that many Americans pay no attention to terror in faraway places.

Wait - The Outrage Isn't Over!
For those who are ecumenically minded, they should be happy that nearly all faiths are a part of all the inaugural activities this week. It was tough to accept the role of Bishop V. Gene Robinson on Sunday praying to "the god of our many understandings." But now it gets worse.
