One of the Religious Right activists featured as an endorser on Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's "The Response" prayer rally website, Jennifer LeClaire of Charisma News, is furious with the criticism directed at Jindal for hosting the event.
LeClaire writes today that she is baffled by the "backlash" against the rally, insisting that criticism of Jindal is proof that the "antichrist spirits are rising" in this generation.
LeClaire is especially angry with Right Wing Watch for having "verbally crucified the governor" and violated his religious freedom by writing about his event.
I was at The Response: Baton Rouge this weekend, where thousands of believers from all walks of life and many denominations gathered together to cry out to God on behalf of a nation in crisis.
Crucifying Jindal
Although disappointing, it's not surprising that Jindal received heaps of criticism for his decision to host a Christian prayer rally. Protestors gathered outside the assembly center to voice their opposition. One protestor told CBN, "He shouldn't be doing it on a state campus. If they want to do that, go somewhere else."
But that was mild compared to what would come next. Right Wing Watch verbally crucified the governor, accusing him of "teaming up with anti-gay extremists and Christian-nation advocates" and "giving them credibility they do not deserve." Slate assumed The Response was "part of the rollout for Jindal's inevitable presidential run." And opednews.com claimed: "Jindal's 'Response' a No-Go Zone for Atheists, Gays, and Forms of Intelligent Life."
I could go on an [sic] on and some of the backlash is much worse than that—for calling people to come together and pray in the name of Jesus. I'm all for free speech and freedom of religion, but it seems some other religions—or the religion-less, secular humanists and atheists—are threatened by Christians who pray in the name of Jesus. That always surprises me, given they don't believe there's any God listening or answering anyway. Atheists should be glad Jindal is praying. I pray that God will encounter the hearts of atheists in an unprecedented way this year.
I think Jindal said it best when he told CBN: "You've got a group of Christians who say we want to pay money to rent a hall on LSU's campus so we can come together and pray. Do we really live in a society where that's controversial?" Unfortunately, in an age where antichrist spirits are rising, I guess we do.
Jennifer LeClaire, the news editor of the Religious Right magazine "Charisma," said today that while we can have fun on Halloween, we should watch out because it is a "very demonic, very evil" occasion.
While speaking with the American Family Association's Tim Wildmon and Ed Vitagliano about the "dangers" of Halloween, LeClaire warned that Halloween is a Satanic druid holiday.
The right-wing outlet Charisma Magazine ran a story today about states that still have religious tests for people holding public office, even though they are not enforced.
"With the never-ending battle in our culture atheists bring against Christians, will [sic] the bans may soon be altogether removed," writes Gina Meeks, Charisma's assistant editor.
The magazine's website posted the story on its front page with the subtitle: "This is good news for a Judeo-Christian America, but will the bans last?"
Charisma pundit Raynard Jackson warns today that homosexuality and immigration are hurting African American men, and only white female right-wing commentators like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham can save the black community by fighting President Obama.
Black women constantly complain about the dearth of "eligible" black men to date and marry. Noted sociologist William Julius Wilson has argued that "the increasing levels of non-marriage and female-headed households is a manifestation of the high levels of economic dislocation experienced by lower-class black men in recent decades."
He further argues, "When joblessness is combined with high rates of incarceration and premature mortality among black men, it becomes clearer that there are fewer marriageable black men relative to black women who are able to provide the economic support needed to sustain a family."
Then you add in the unfortunate increase in homosexuality within the black community and you have a recipe for disaster.
This is why black men need more white women like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. Even though they are conservative media personalities, they have done more to promote the well-being of black males than many of the very women who stridently complain about the lack of "eligible" black men.
So, let me make sure I understand. Black women complain about the state of "eligible" black males to date and marry, yet they support the policies of a president who is going to make the problem much worse.
Obama has done more for same-sex marriage couples than he has for his same-race brothers and sisters. In fact, Newsweek dubbed him our first gay president—not for his sexual orientation, but for his relentless pandering to homosexuals.
Obama has also advocated amnesty for those in this country who are here illegally, which will only continue to increase the unemployment rate in the black community, especially among low- and under-skilled black workers. This will further decrease the pool of potential black men for women to date and marry. Let's face it, our women are not going to marry someone who is unemployed or underemployed.
Historically, black women have been notoriously protective of their men and children. It is ironic that Coulter and Ingraham, two conservative white women, are now assuming that role. We black men need more white women like Coulter and Ingraham, not back women who will give a pass to a failing black president.
Charisma new editor Jennifer LeClaire is upset that Honey Maid's gay-inclusive TV ad is "trying to shove something down my throat for which I have no taste," writing in a column today that she will "pray for those whose hand may be caught in the cookie jar of sexual immorality when Jesus returns."
LeClaire also complains that the graham cracker company responded to critics by hiring two "lesbians [to] glue together the complaints to spell out the word 'love' in cursive."
Nowhere in the response ad – or anywhere else that we can find, for that matter – does it say that the artists, Linsey Burritt and Crystal Grover of INDO, are lesbians.
Nabisco's brand is no longer wholesome. The makers of favorites like Vanilla Wafers and Teddy Grahams is propagating same-sex marriage—complete with newborn babies—in its latest 30-second commercial. Dubbed This is Wholesome, the agenda is indeed anything but.
The commercial kicks off with a man feeding a baby. One would assume the man was the baby's father. Seconds later, another man leans into the screen and kisses the baby on the head. The commercial reveals the baby's two fathers taking the baby out for a walk, followed by images of other families spending time together. Of course, Teddy Grahams and Honey Maid graham crackers are intended to be the real star of the spot.
"No matter how things change, what makes us wholesome never will," the voiceover states. "Honey Maid: Everyday wholesome snacks for every wholesome family. This is wholesome."
Wholesome? Maybe Nabisco is using a different dictionary than the rest of us. Merriam-Webster defines wholesome as "promoting health or well-being of mind or spirit" and "sound in body, mind, or morals." By either definition, Nabisco got it wrong.
How did Nabisco respond? The cookie company defended itself, releasing a new commercial showing two women holding up printed sheets of complaints people sent to Nabisco. The lesbians glue together the complaints to spell out the word "love" in cursive. The advertisement's key message: "Proving that only one thing really matters when it comes to family: love."
That said, Nabisco is still trying to shove something down my throat for which I have no taste. Although I defend their right to do so, I grieve over the latest example of how immorality is the new normal. Our only godly response is to continue speaking the truth in love and pray for those whose hand may be caught in the cookie jar of sexual immorality when Jesus returns.
While George Washington's religious faith is to this day a matter of debate, Charisma is out with an article by pastor Eddie Hyatt insisting that Washington was an evangelical Christian just like Charisma readers.
Hyatt recycles the dubious Valley Forge prayer story and also cites prayers found in a supposed journal from a twenty-year-old Washington that historians regard as "patently false."
Not only does Hyatt cite discredited tales and fake quotes, but he actually mentions Washington's ownership of over 300 slaves as proof that he was a Christian:
Some have challenged Washington's faith because he was a slave owner. But what is often not told is the fact that when Washington was challenged on how his keeping of slaves was inconsistent with his profession of faith in Christ, he began setting in motion a compassionate plan, at great personal cost, to make Mt. Vernon slave free. He offered freedom to all who wanted to go, but realizing that some did not have the knowledge and skills to prosper on their own, no one was forced to leave. Those who chose to stay began receiving wages for their work. Washington was much beloved by the black workers on his plantation whom he fed well, encouraged to marry and build families, and made sure they were well instructed in the gospel. Many, therefore, chose not to leave and became employees of the estate. Children were not released until they were of age and were provided with food, clothing, shelter and education. His own actions expanded his vision and he wrote, "I clearly foresee that nothing but the rooting out of slavery can perpetuate the existence of our union."
Maybe Hyatt should read about the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 or about Washington's attempts to kidnap and re-enslave Oney Judge, a slave who escaped from his plantation, before he claims that Washington "offered freedom to all who wanted to go" and only kept them in inhumane bondage to help them "prosper on their own."
In 1847, Rev. Benjamin Chase wrote a letter to the editor of the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator describing an interview he had conducted with while she lived as a runaway slave in New Hampshire, where Washington had sent men to capture her and her child. Chase noted that Judge's reports of Washington drinking and playing cards on Sunday might have mattered more to some doubters of the former president's Christian faith than his ownership of hundreds of slaves:
She says that she never received the least mental or moral instruction, of any kind, while she remained in Washington's family. But, after she came to Portsmouth, she learned to read; and when Elias Smith first preached in Portsmouth, she professes to have been converted to Christianity.
She, and the woman with whom she lives, (who is nearly of her age,) appear to be, and have the reputation of being imbued with the real spirit of Christianity. She says that the stories told of Washington's piety and prayers, so far as she ever saw or heard while she was his slave, have no foundation. Card-playing and wine-drinking were the business at his parties, and he had more of such company Sundays than on any other day. I do not mention this as showing, in my estimation, his anti-Christian character, so much as the bare fact of being a slaveholder, and not a hundredth part so much as trying to kidnap this woman; but, in the minds of the community, it will weigh infinitely more.
Great names bear more weight with the multitude, than the eternal principles of God's government. So good a man as Washington is enough to sanctify war and slavery; but where is the evidence of his goodness?
This woman is yet a slave. If Washington could have got her and her child, they were constitutionally his; and if Mrs. Washington's heirs were now to claim her, and take her before Judge Woodbury, and prove their title, he would be bound, upon his oath, to deliver her up to them. Again — [New Hampshire Gov.] Langdon was guilty of a moral violation of the Constitution, in giving this woman notice of the agent being after her. It was frustrating the design, the intent of the Constitution, and he was equally guilty, morally, as those who would overthrow it [emphasis in orignal].
In a column for Charisma today, conservative activist Michael Brown says he was too smart to fall for a hoax article about a middle school that "requires children to cross dress"…. but then goes ahead and cites another bogus story about transgender harassment in a Colorado school.
Apparently, an article about a Maryland school that mandates cross-dressing has gone viral, even though it came from the satirical National Report. Brown defended those who mistook the article for a real news story, calling it "a case of fiction being frighteningly close to truth." He compared the fake Maryland school to a Wisconsin school that held a "a voluntary event that called for boys to dress like girls and girls to dress like boys" and a reported incident of a transgender girl in Colorado harassing other students in the bathroom.
But Brown fails to mention that the Colorado story was also a hoax, and the Religious Right group Brown mentions admitted that they manufactured the story. The girl who was targeted by the smear campaign was recently placed on suicide watch.
The article's headline was absolutely shocking—"Maryland Middle School Requires Children to Cross Dress For 'LGBTQ Appreciation Day'"—and not surprisingly, the article quickly went viral.
The good news is that it was a hoax.
The bad news is that it was so close to reality, most readers took it seriously, and it was only after I read a few paragraphs into the article that I realized it wasn't true. This is a case of fiction being frighteningly close to the truth.
Unfortunately, there was enough in the article that sounded plausible for many people to believe every word of it, even though it got progressively outrageous.
A concerned mother sent me the link, asking if I had seen it, and when I replied that I believed it to be a hoax, she said she had initially believed it because of what she had already seen in her children's schools. It hardly seemed over the top to her.
After all, back in May, it was reported, "Parents of students at a Wisconsin elementary school are up in arms over the theme 'Gender Bender Day.'" Yes, "Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities in Milwaukee recently celebrated School Spirit Week with a series of events for students in kindergarten through eighth grades. ... Members of the student council chose Friday as 'Gender Bender Day,' a voluntary event that called for boys to dress like girls and girls to dress like boys."
This time, the story was not a hoax.
Nor was it a hoax when the Pacific Justice Institute reported last month that parents at Florence High School, "located near Colorado Springs, became irate when they learned that a teenage boy was entering girls' bathrooms and, according to some students, even making sexually harassing comments toward girls he was encountering. When the parents confronted school officials, they were stunned to be told the boy's rights as a self-proclaimed transgender trumped their daughters' privacy rights. As the controversy grew, some students were threatened by school authorities with being kicked off school athletic teams or charged with hate crimes if they continued to voice concerns."
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor recently conducted a wedding at the Supreme Court for Jeffrey Trammell and Stuart Serkin, and Charisma magazine is warning that as a result divine retribution is right around the corner. Charisma posted a Reuters article by Lawrence Hurley and gave it the title: "Is Judgment Far Off? Gay Wedding Ceremonies Taking Place at US Supreme Court."
The magazine asked readers to "sound off" by responding to the question: "Is this a prophetic sign of the state of our nation? Does it bother you that gay weddings are taking place at our nation's High Court?"
The Religious Right magazine Charisma described an Episcopalian reverend's condemnation of homophobia as an "anti-Christ message" that is corrupting Christianity: "A new, heretical, sin-affirming Christianity is spreading like a virus. How should we respond to the rise of these anti-Christ messages?"
Charisma's Jennifer LeClaire, who regularly writes anti-gay columns for the outlet, criticized the Very Rev. Gary Hall of the National Cathedral has an apostate "caught in the snare of deception, even heresy":
"We must now have the courage to take the final step and call homophobia and heterosexism what they are. They are sin. Homophobia is a sin. Heterosexism is a sin. Shaming people for who they love is a sin. Only when all our churches say that clearly and boldly and courageously will our LGBT youth be free to grow up in a culture that totally embraces them as they fully are."
These aren't the words of an outspoken gay activist at a rally. Or, well, maybe they sort of are. These words came from the lips of Rev. Gary Hall, the dean of Washington's National Cathedral, in a recent Sunday sermon. Hall was speaking during a weekend that honored lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth and commemorated the 15th anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death. Shepard was tragically murdered in an anti-gay hate crime in 1998.
Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, a nonprofit group dedicated to exposing the homosexual-bisexual-transgender activist agendas, told the Christian News Network that Hall's comments reflect a nation that is playing out Isaiah 5:20, which states, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
"Gary Hall of the National Cathedral is sinning when he claims that opposition to homosexuality is a sin. This is counterfeit Christianity in action—transferring the guilt before God from those who are committing sins (of which homosexuality is one) to those who oppose those sins," LaBarbera said.
"Obviously, 'hating' homosexuals or being so fearful that you fail to offer the hope of the gospel to people caught up in homosexual sin is wrong, but that's not what Hall is talking about here. He is 'redefining Christianity' and sin itself in a way that flips the truth of the Word of God on its head. ... The danger is that this new heretical 'sin-affirming Christianity' is spreading in the evangelical Church."
This sort of deception still shocks me. How can the Very Rev. Gary Hall, who has served as an ordained minister for more than 35 years—which means he was following God long before our nation's Christian culture deteriorated to this point—hold such beliefs? And what does it mean when the chief ecclesiastical leader and executive officer—a man who works closely with the bishop of Washington and governing bodies to shape and support ministries to the city of Washington, the nation and the world—perpetrates these beliefs? And, moreover, what does this say about the state of Christianity and the times we live in?
I believe LaBarbera is spot-on. Christianity is slowly (or maybe not so slowly) being redefined into a religion that affirms sin. We see this manifesting in several ways, from the hypergrace message that condones sin among Christians to uber-liberal denominations that ordain gays into ministry and beyond.
But there is yet good news: God is still on the throne. God is giving even the most heretical, deceived ones a space to repent. Our job is to discern heresy, refuse to align with it and pray for the captives to be set free. If one of your family members was caught in a snare, wouldn't you try to rescue him? Many Christians are caught in the snare of deception, even heresy. If you can see clearly, then I urge you to intercede for those the enemy has blinded. Let's not just sit by and watch the problem get worse. Let's drop to our knees and petition the King.
Anti-gay activists are furious that Gov. Chris Christie signed into law a bill barring ex-gay therapy for minors, and pastor Larry Tomczak penned an open letter to the New Jersey governor in his Charisma magazine blog. Tomczak, upset about Christie's "unconscionable" decision to "capitulate to the gay agenda," said the governor should reflect on his own "battle with overeating and endangering your health through poor nutritional choices" and realize that he shouldn't affirm the gay "lifestyle" and its "frightening consequences."
He goes on to ask Christie what he would think if older men preyed on his teenage son, who, as a result, "found himself temporarily confused and traumatized." Tomczak said that after such experiences as a boy his "parents and pastors and counselors" had "early on set me on the path to normal heterosexual sexual understanding."
Tomczak said that after such experiences as a boy his "parents and pastors and counselors" had "early on set me on the path to normal heterosexual sexual understanding."
"I close this appeal by directing you to our Founding Fathers," Tomczak writes. "They honored a Judeo-Christian belief system and upheld the Bible as their source of wisdom for life, laws and legislation."
Young people today face challenges in the realm of sexuality that are unparalleled in our history. When you and I were growing up with our Roman Catholic training, we never faced the avalanche of pornography and celebration of homosexuality prevailing in the media, schools, government and entertainment there is today.
Multitudes of young children and teenagers are wrestling with sexual identity as they come of age. To capitulate to the gay agenda and stonewall providing options for those who are asking for them really is unconscionable. And since you pride yourself on being very up front and to the point, I'd like to submit to you that your three points are completely inconsistent with what should be your Roman Catholic and Christian worldview.
While parents, counselors and all of us should express understanding regarding people's upbringing and pain, we cannot release people from taking personal responsibility for their actions to do what is moral and right. Your well-publicized battle with overeating and endangering your health through poor nutritional choices probably makes this easy to comprehend.
Here's the deal: Are we really helping young people by reinforcing the prevailing notion that people are born gay—stuck to be this way for the rest of their life? And yes, there are pretty frightening consequences to this lifestyle that folks had just better accept
Gov. Christie, among your four children is a young teenage boy. Since you are known for your bluntness, can I share in a transparent manner some things that happened to me when I was his age and then ask a closing question?
As a young teen, two male teenage relatives tried to seduce me into sexual experimentation with gay sex. Additionally, I had a homosexual pick me up once while hitchhiking, and he offered me money to come to his apartment for an enema. (I was 13 and clueless as to what that was.) In a relatively short time, I jumped out of that car!
To this very day, I am grateful to God for parents and pastors and counselors who early on set me on the path to normal heterosexual sexual understanding. I knew right from wrong. I was able to discern, when faced with something that the Bible said was "unnatural" and "shameful" (Rom 1:24-27), what was the right thing to do.
Gov. Christie, I beseech you to step back and take a fresh look at this law. Think about your children. Think about the future of our nation. Think about how we can best prepare young people for a healthy and successful life. If your son when through what I did, found himself temporarily confused and traumatized, what kind of counsel—honestly—would you want him to hear?
Many believe you have aspirations for the presidency. I close this appeal by directing you to our Founding Fathers. They honored a Judeo-Christian belief system and upheld the Bible as their source of wisdom for life, laws and legislation.
Will you?
Respectfully submitted and upholding you and your family in my prayers, I remain,
Larry Tomczak
The Religious Right publication Charisma today published a column by ex-gay activist Janet Boynes arguing that the devil is behind the gay community's alleged plan "to indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society."
She praises the American Family Association affiliate One Million Moms for their campaign against "Good Luck Charlie" for featuring a same-sex couple, warning that the gay "game plan" is to "get into our schools and change the mindset of our children" and "create a new America based on sexual promiscuity in which the values you and I cherish are long forgotten."
After arguing that the devil is responsible for such "gay propaganda," Boynes writes that "One Million Moms should push for Disney and many other shows to air a show with a person that has left the life of homosexuality."
As we sit and watch TV, all we see is the homosexual community taking over the airwaves. Why? because they are moving forward and not looking back. They have a game plan, and that plan is to get into our schools and change the mindset of our children, and in turn they, the children, will change the culture. Let me say this in plain English: The gay community wants to indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society. Their ultimate dream is to create a new America based on sexual promiscuity in which the values you and I cherish are long forgotten.
As I read what those amazing One Million Moms did by calling Disney to shut down the airing of lesbian moms on the show Good Luck Charlie, I felt relieved to know we are still fighting for what is valuable. That was a bold move, and I commend them for taking a stand.
Really? Don't you see what's happening here, church? The gay community is getting its message across—that change in sexual orientation is not possible—only because they have been given airtime on many TV shows and movies, and the media has had a voice in telling us what is right and true in their eyes. On Thursday, for example, Good Morning America aired a story of a high school coach from Yonkers, N.Y., who came out to his basketball players.
Nothing has changed. The devil is still trying to deceive many today, and we as the church have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker. Eve said in Genesis 3:13, "The serpent deceived me" (NKJV). I'm not even going to discuss the repercussions of that choice and how it has affected humanity today.
The Bible clearly says in Revelation 12:9 that the devil will deceive the whole world. Anything contrary to the truth of God's Word is a lie. Are you being deceived by the gay propaganda?
One Million Moms should push for Disney and many other shows to air a show with a person that has left the life of homosexuality. When have we seen this kind of lifestyle being shown in a positive light on Lifetime movies, in secular media, on Capitol Hill, at the White House or on any other television show, for that matter?
It was only a matter of time before Charisma news editor Jennifer LeClaire took issue with The Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield's asking, "Why can't we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality?"
LeClaire, who believes that dark spirits are behind gay superheroes, writes today that "Garfield's push for a gay Spider-Man weaves a wicked web that could help deceive a generation."
"Unholy gay agenda, Batman!" LeClaire begins her column, "Don't we have enough gay comic book heroes?"
She wishes there were superheroes, besides Bibleman, who are "casting devils out of their antagonists in the name of Jesus." However, she says that "the gay agenda would crucify" a "Spirit-filled, tongue-talking superhero raising the dead."
Unholy gay agenda, Batman! Andrew Garfield, the actor who starred as the superhero in The Amazing Spider-Man, apparently wants to see the beloved wall-crawler break Mary Jane's heart and shack up with another man.
Not only did Garfield imagine his tights-wearing character in a relationship with a man, he's also even considered who might play his damsel, er, dude in distress.
Really? Don't we have enough gay comic book heroes? About this time last year, DC Comics outed the Green Lantern. When he's not wearing his neon-green garb and accomplishing superhuman feats, the chiseled Green Lantern enjoys kissing his new boyfriend. As I noted in my column last year, perhaps DC Comics was trying to compete with its rival, Marvel Comics, which announced just days earlier that it would host the first gay wedding in the June 20 issue of Astonishing X-Men #51.
Of course, Marvel Comics has long proved more progressive on the gay superhero front. Northstar, an X-Men character, became the first openly gay superhuman in American comic book history way back in 1992. Around that same time there was also speculation that Batman was about to come out of his caved closet, which would confirm decades-old rumors that Batman and Robin are much more than friends in tights.
Garfield's push for a gay Spider-Man weaves a wicked web that could help deceive a generation. Make no mistake, same-sex marriage is not God's plan.
Here's another thought: Gay superheroes are now mainstream. But where all the Christian superheroes? Why are Christian superheroes in the closet? I'm not knocking Bibleman, but that franchise is hardly influencing the masses on the silver screen.
Of course, some have said that Superman is a Methodist, Batman is an Episcopalian and Spider-Man is a Protestant. But you hardly see them casting devils out of their antagonists in the name of Jesus (which perhaps some would consider to be as bold as gay superheroes kissing in comics).
I wonder what the world would do if it saw a Spirit-filled, tongue-talking superhero raising the dead. I imagine the gay agenda would crucify him.
Pastor Larry Tomczak sure does like comparing gay rights advocates to Nazis. The Charisma columnist this week claimed that, like Nazi Germany, gay equality threatens the church and "would imperil us all—our children, our grandchildren and our future as a nation." He praises "courageous" African countries that "outlaw homosexuality" for "standing strong amidst this moral storm" of President Obama, WNBA player Brittney Griner and "unscriptural, squishy, spineless" Christians.
Naturally, Tomczak ends the column by quoting Winston Churchill's speech on the imminent Nazi attack on Britain.
The landmark Supreme Court ruling on gay "rights" did not redefine marriage, but it did give the rationale to deconstruct marriage.
Those of us standing up for traditional marriage now find ourselves portrayed as bigots for simply upholding marriage as it has stood for over 5,000 years of Western civilization! It's unbelievable, but true.
All Christians are called to be salt and light, but if leaders choose calm over courage instead of addressing these issues for any number of reasons—"Just keep things positive," "Don't scare people off," "We're in a building program and can't risk offending big donor," Just preach the gospel; steer clear of politics," "It's all going down anyway," "Why invite trouble or controversy?" "I'm warning all of you on staff that this would be a deal-breaker if you start talking about these kind of issues"—marriage as the central pillar of our civilization will be forever lost. We just cannot sit on the bench, mute in the midst of the defining moral issue of our generation, as the people will follow suit.
That's what happened in Nazi Germany as pastors (with the exception of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a remnant) were intimidated into silence and their flocks emulated their example. Adolf Hitler chortled derisively behind closed doors, knowing he'd discovered the key to railroading his plans through: "They [German pastors] will submit. … They are insignificant little people, submissive as dogs, and they sweat with embarrassment when you talk to them."
Granted, we are not facing the Fuhrer, but redefining marriage means redefining religious liberty, and that would imperil us all—our children, our grandchildren and our future as a nation.
Alan Chambers, Rob Bell and Jim Wallis crisscross the country advocating for an unscriptural, squishy, spineless approach to this hot-button issue of homosexuality. The WNBA No. 1 draft pick from Baylor Baptist University, Brittany Griner, invites girls to follow her lesbian example as a new role model in USA Today. Even our president holds nothing back in pronouncing, "God bless you!" at America's No. 1 abortion provider's convention, then flies to Africa after the Supreme Court ruling in order to promote gay rights there after last telling them, "Africa's future is up to Africans!"
Thank God for our courageous African counterparts who aren't capitulating but are instead standing strong amidst this moral storm. Thirty-seven nations there outlaw homosexuality, and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner and Africa's first female president, boldly stands to say she opposes decriminalizing homosexuality in her country. "We've got certain traditional values in our society that we'd like to preserve," she says.
Will you ask God to help you speak up as America is going down? We need to pray and foster another great revival before it's too late. As Winston Churchill told his flock in England's "darkest hour" as they faced the extinction of their democratic freedoms, "I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. … If we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age. … Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its commonwealth last 4,000 years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'"
Pastor Dan Cummins of Come Pray With Me has worked with a variety of Religious Right groups, including Newt Gingrich's Renewing American Leadership, Rick Perry's The Response USA and Tony Perkins' Watchmen on the Wall, and organized his own prayer rally in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.
But soon, Cummins warns, such organizations may not exist.
In a Charisma column today, Cummins writes thats gays will drive the church "underground" and turn churches into "government community centers."
Cummins claims that the Supreme Court has created a divide in America similar to the Korean DMZ and the Berlin Wall, called "the Rainbow Curtain." He says that the justices "from their judicial lair" have "set off a catalytic charge toppling traditional marriage" and now "the collapse of America's moral infrastructure has been irreversibly set into motion."
Residents of states with marriage equality are now "hostages" to a government that will use "foreign troops" to put them "re-education camps," he argues.
"Like a surreal scene from Red Dawn, America woke up on June 26 to a divided nation, with 95 million of its citizens in 13 states held hostage to judicial legislation, trapped behind the Rainbow Curtain," Cummins writes. "What's ahead for those in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy's dictates—re-education camps for homophobic racists? Will Big Sis employ foreign troops invading through our unsecured borders to enforce the transition into this brave new world?"
He hopes that the new "refugees" will "flee with their families into neighboring free zones," asking, "Where are Patrick Swayze and his pack of Wolverines when we need them?"
He calls on anti-gay activists in "gay zones" to "become forearmed" as society unravels into a gay dystopia and "the choking dust clouds from the collapse of the last societal pillar of biblical, natural marriage stop rolling through the streets of our cities and states."
After World War II, Stalin installed an iron curtain around Russia, keeping his capitalist neighbors from eavesdropping. The Chinese accessorized their Cold War condo with a bamboo curtain, deterring pesky peeping toms from the West.
Soon Mr. Khrushchev, keeping up with his Commie neighbors, built a privacy wall and gated community, secluding East Berliners from greedy, free-market entrepreneurs soliciting door to door. Not to forget Kim Il-Sung's ensemble of razor wire and land mines across North Korea's 38th parallel to discourage those JW and LDS types from indoctrinating the folks.
Now, in the midst of the American culture war, behind another curtain of sorts—a life-size photographic scrim concealing a facelift to the Supreme Court's crumbling west façade—Justice Anthony Kennedy has ordered a redecorating of the nation's landscape with a bold, colorful and inclusive statement—the Rainbow Curtain—a polyamorous blend of gender-on-gender suited for a post-moralist motif designed to safeguard the modern American family from the narrow-minded views of those "animus"-filled Founding Fathers.
From their juridical lair, the liberal Gang of Five recently set off a catalytic charge toppling traditional marriage—the last principled pillar upholding Uncle Sam's home. Just how long his 237-year-old colonial manor can remain standing minus its moral supports intact is anyone's guess. But the collapse of America's moral infrastructure has been irreversibly set into motion by five legislating justices.
As the new civil rights movement packs the neighborhood streets, shouting, "Move that bus," is America ready for the extreme home makeover the LGBT architects have designed for the evolving modern family?
Like a surreal scene from Red Dawn, America woke up on June 26 to a divided nation, with 95 million of its citizens in 13 states held hostage to judicial legislation, trapped behind the Rainbow Curtain and forced to accept the moral dictates of the elitist ruling party—a pentagram of liberal judges on the Supreme Court.
Many of those hostages, like California's residents, were disenfranchised of their constitutional votes in the process. What's ahead for those in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy's dictates—re-education camps for homophobic racists? Will Big Sis employ foreign troops invading through our unsecured borders to enforce the transition into this brave new world?
What stark new realities are ahead for those behind the Rainbow Curtain? Will Americans become refugees in their own country as they flee with their families into neighboring free zone states? Where are Patrick Swayze and his pack of Wolverines when we need them?
The Supremes striking down Proposition 8 and partially ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) have given the prize—marriage without borders—to the LGBT crowd and thrown the pro-biblical marriage community a legal bone by kicking the can back to the free zone states to argue it out in court.
What does this mean for the 70 percent of the U.S. population living in the free zones? Watch what happens to the families, businesses and churches in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy's court. Be forewarned and become forearmed.
The new persecution of the church will be in the form of prosecution of the church. This legal martyrdom will be slow, painful and expensive. Some churches, especially in the gay zones initially, will fold under the financial strain.
The end result for any church refusing complicity to the court's opinion will be loss of tax-exempt status. The IRS will not only control America's health care but her religious institutions as well. For those churches indebted by hefty mortgages, the outcome of losing membership and their tax-exempt tithes will be potentially fatal. As foreclosed church properties flood the real estate market, they will be prime choices for government community centers.
You say this can't happen in America? We were saying similar things 10 years ago about same-sex marriage and 40 years ago about abortion. Wake up!
Maybe China is the new model for American society. When the choking dust clouds from the collapse of the last societal pillar of biblical, natural marriage stop rolling through the streets of our cities and states, we will witness the aftermath left by Justice Kennedy's ruling upon our families, churches and religious freedoms.
Will there only be two churches left in America when that time comes—the state church, with its complicit clergy complete with gay members, and the underground church of Jesus Christ? Take heart—the greatest revival in the world is now taking place in the underground church of China. Maybe revival is coming to America after all. Either way, you had better get a Bible.
Viewers who hear plenty of right-wing religious voices on cable TV might be surprised to know that the biggest problem facing America in the minds of many Religious Right leaders is that conservative preachers aren't being sufficiently political or aggressive. That gripe is a major theme at Religious Right gatherings, and is repeated in a new Charisma article by radio host Michael Brown, who makes a "fresh call to revolution" among America's pastors in the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions:
How is it that nine non-elected officials in black robes can have such sweeping authority in our society? It is because the black-robed regiment that once stirred the hearts of the nation has lost its moral authority, leaving a gaping hole in the soul of the nation.
Brown draws on "historian" David Barton's Christian-nation take on American history in crediting colonial pastors with inflaming Americans to revolution against the British. "Where are the courageous, uncompromising firebrands among us today?" he asks. "Sadly, they are few and far between." Brown slams TV-preacher hucksterism and self-improvement theology and pines for clergy who will call people "to glorify God by life or by death." Remember, he says, "What the world calls fanaticism and much of the church calls extremism, God calls normal." Brown also cites Francis Schaeffer's Christian Manifesto, which complains that Christian leaders do not emphasize "the Lordship of Jesus Christ over the whole spectrum of life" – including government.
Here's how Brown wraps up:
Where were our national Christian leaders when the Supreme Court removed organized, public prayer from our schools in 1962 or when the Court declared abortion on demand to be the law of the land in 1973? Why were there so few who took a solid stand?
For the most part, when we have taken action, we have joined ourselves to a political party, only to find ourselves used for their purposes. Otherwise, we have either thought the social realm was not our responsibility; that Jesus was coming at any moment and so things will only get worse; or that the way to win a spiritual war is to become angry conservatives.
Surely we can do better than that. Surely we can—no, we must!—rise up into the revolutionary, Jesus-exalting, Word-based, Spirit-empowered calling that is on our lives, a calling that is on all believers but in particular on the leaders who must the lead the way.
Surely we cannot allow the moral standards of our society be determined by an unelected, unanointed black-robed regiment sitting in Washington, with all respect to their proper authority and with massive respect for the courageous voices among them.
It is time for the leaders to arise—to get alone with God, to get filled afresh with His Spirit, to get clear marching orders from heaven and to make a new commitment to be part of a Jesus-centered, moral, cultural and spiritual revolution.
By God's grace, I have taken my stand. Will you join me?
Charisma news editor Jennifer LeClaire writes today in her column, "Satan's End-Time Strategy to Outlaw Traditional Marriage in Full Swing," that "we are in the end times" as a "satanic agenda" will soon "mainstream gay marriage" and "eventually end" marriage between opposite sex couples.
Clearly, our nation is seeing Romans 1 play out before its very eyes because although we know God, we have chosen not to glorify Him (Rom. 1:21).
Our Supreme Court has "exchanged the truth of God for the lie" (v. 25). A growing number of our citizens are fine and dandy with the fact that women exchange "the natural use for what is against nature," and more are accepting of the fact that men have left "the natural use of the woman" and have "burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful" (vv. 26-27).
Many of our nation's leaders have given in to a "debased mind" (v. 28). Our nation is marked by "all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness" (v. 29). Many of our citizens are "full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful" (vv. 29-31).
Our Supreme Court just opened the door to more of the same. Could it be possible that one day marriage as an institution could be outlawed altogether? I believe that is part of Satan's end-time strategy.
Paul hints at this in a prophetic letter to his spiritual son, Timothy, more than 2,000 years ago. Paul wrote, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry" (1 Tim. 4:1-3).
We are in the latter times. We are in the end times even now. And many are indeed departing from the faith. Less than 1 percent of 18- to 23-year-olds have a biblical worldview, according to a recent Barna Group survey. Seven in 10 Protestants ages 18 to 30 who went to church regularly in high school said they quit attending by age 23, LifeWay Research reveals. And the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life reports that half of former Protestants who left the church said they turned away from their childhood faith because they stopped believing in its teachings—and about 40 percent said they did so because they do not believe in God.
We are in the latter times. We are in the end times even now. And some are indeed giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Look at the likes of Rob Bell, with his "no hell" theology; John Crowder, with his distorted hypergrace messages; and Carlton Pearson, with his universalistic "gospel of inclusion." Then there's the false justice movement that talks about Jesus while holding Bible studies, worship meetings and performing good works—but it's a different Jesus at the center. These are just a few of the doctrines of demons circulating through the church today that are leading us toward the end-time harlot church.
We are in the latter times. We are in the end times even now. And some are indeed speaking lies in hypocrisy. Some are indeed living with a seared conscience. So the question is, Will 1 Timothy 4:3 be the next part of this prophetic Scripture to come to pass? Will we see governments forbidding marriage? I believe it's inevitable as we get closer to the Second Coming of Christ. I believe the institution of traditional marriage will come under attack in parts of the earth as the deceptive gay marriage agenda continues to gain momentum.
Today's rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court are about more than allowing gays to tap into federal benefits that, until now, were reserved for couples in traditional marriages. Today's rulings set into motion a dynamic that could mainstream gay marriage in this nation sooner than later—and forward the satanic agenda to eventually end a godly institution that's almost as old as the world itself.
Responding to the White House's LGBT Pride celebration, Pastor Larry Tomczak in Charisma magazine maintained that gays and their allies are putting America "on the path to destruction." Tomczak writes that events which "brazenly celebrate, legitimize and promote the gay lifestyle in America" are part of the country's "downward spiral" and gay "tsunami."
After the pastor shared a story about how his father-in-law, a veteran of World War II, confronted his church for not speaking out more aggressively against homosexuality, Tomczak drew parallels between gays in America and Nazis in 1930s Germany: "It would do us well to recall that in Nazi Germany, only a small percentage of the people were part of the Nazi party. Amid the atrocities, the overwhelming majority were apathetic and afraid to speak up…. Is history repeating itself?"
Observing the president of our United States on Thursday in the White House, kicking off the official celebration of "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Month," he was introduced by two 9-year-old girls celebrating their lesbian mothers.
Flanked by a smiling Vice President Biden, President Obama then called out individuals with gay backgrounds amid applause. Finally, he reaffirmed his commitment to same-sex marriage and gay initiatives in America. This coincides with his administration releasing directives so that individuals will be forced to affirm homosexuality in the federal government. Remaining silent will be seen as discrimination and put their jobs in jeopardy.
Last week in Washington, D.C., was the giant gay pride event. This week it comes to Nashville, Tenn. These events are taking place all over America to brazenly celebrate, legitimize and promote the gay lifestyle in America. Having attended multiple events like this to share the gospel over the past decade, I can assure you there are parades, but they're not G-rated. Although children are everywhere, nudity, profanity, debauchery, drunkenness and drug abuse abound.
What is happening to our United States of America?
1. The downward spiral described in Romans 1 is unfolding before our eyes in this great country. Refusing to honor and give thanks to God, we are being turned over to our own self-indulgence, which takes us on the path to destruction unless there is revival.
A few days ago, my wife's father, who is in his early 90s, spoke something to me that had tremendous impact on my life. He is a committed Christian, an elder and part of what is oftentimes called "the Greatest Generation" due to their courageous stand against the Nazis in World War II. Joe and Anne have been married 68 years!
He's never done this before, but he said he had a prophetic word to share with me. The core of it: "Why are leaders in our churches and ministries afraid to speak up in a charitable way concerning what's happening regarding homosexuality today?"
It would do us well to recall that in Nazi Germany, only a small percentage of the people were part of the Nazi party. Amid the atrocities, the overwhelming majority were apathetic and afraid to speak up. Consider the consequences.
Is history repeating itself?
It is imperative that those of us who are authentic Christians come to grips with the reality and urgency of this hour. We are in a tsunami! Our ship is filled with holes; the mast has fallen off; the navigation system has gone awry; and many of our leaders are nowhere to be found or strangely silent.
The opposition is not ashamed. The clock is ticking. A third Great Awakening awaits all of us if we respond to His prompting in this day.
GOP strategist Raynard Jackson has a new anti-gay column in Charisma today that calls on social services to take MSNBC host Krystal Ball's daughter away from her for "indoctrinat[ing] her daughter about homosexual marriage."
"Social services should remove Ella from this house because her mother is without question an unfit parent," Jackson writes. "What Ball did to her daughter may not be child abuse legally, but morally it is definitely abuse, and I am amazed that even liberals of goodwill have not criticized her for such abuse."
He claims that progressives want to "take another person's child and brainwash them into believing that homosexual marriage is OK" and "brainwash innocent children to perpetuate their radical liberalism."
"Is it OK for Ball's 5-year-old to begin experimenting with kissing boys and girls or touching her classmates in intimate places?" he asks.
After calling for the government to take Ball's daughter away, Jackson wrote: "This is why we need to keep the government out of our lives to the greatest extent possible."
Lately, I have been stressing the importance of preserving the sanctity of the traditional family—mother, father and children. There is not one example throughout the history of the world of a society prospering without an intact family unit. Susie can't have two moms, nor can Jimmy have two dads.
So, let me give you a real-world example of liberalism gone amuck. What I saw on MSNBC recently sent chills down my spine—a parent abusing their own child on national TV to promote an insidious political agenda, which is totally disgusting. You must see this video.
Krystal Ball, another MSNBC talk show host and feminist, aired a video of her and her 5-year-old daughter, Ella. Ball asks Ella if she knows what marriage is, and she says she does not. Then the daughter says marriage is between a man and a woman. That's when her mother begins to indoctrinate her daughter about homosexual marriage. I was mortified that a parent would do this to her own daughter—on national TV. Social services should remove Ella from this house because her mother is without question an unfit parent.
So, this is the type of world that Melissa Perry wants to create, one where someone like Ball could take another person's child and brainwash them into believing that homosexual marriage is OK. What parent has this type of conversation with a 5-year-old? Is this what Perry means when she says, "Kids belong to whole communities"? They know they cannot win the argument with logic, so they must brainwash innocent children to perpetuate their radical liberalism. This is why we need to keep the government out of our lives to the greatest extent possible.
What Ball did to her daughter may not be child abuse legally, but morally it is definitely abuse, and I am amazed that even liberals of goodwill have not criticized her for such abuse.
I challenge Perry to describe to the American people what her world looks like if our kids belong to whole communities. Is she OK with me teaching her 14-year-old daughter, Parker, that homosexuality is wrong? Whose values should be taught to these kids? Is it OK for Ball's 5-year-old to begin experimenting with kissing boys and girls or touching her classmates in intimate places? I see what the problem is. You are having an adult conversation with a 5-year-old, so she may as well enjoy the fruits of being an adult. Why else would you be having this conversation with her?
Charisma news editor Jennifer LeClaire says that there may be a "saving grace to active sports stars coming out as gay": becoming an ex-gay.
"If Jason Collins coming out as gay caused such media hype," LeClaire writes, arguing that Collins is not a Christian, "how much more of a stir would it cause if he fully surrendered his heart to Jesus Christ, waged war on same-sex attraction and urged others to seek God?"
She warns that if more athletes "start making their homosexualality [sic] known to the masses," then they will advance "the radical gay agenda's campaign" and alter "the face of what was once Christian culture in America."
When I read the CBS report back in March about how "a current gay NFL player is strongly considering coming out publicly within the next few months," I predicted that gay professional athletes would indeed start making their homosexualality [sic] known to the masses in 2013, especially if the U.S. Supreme Court validates gay marriage at a federal level.
We're still waiting on the High Court to rule on the same-sex marriage issue, but we didn't have to wait long for gay sports stars to begin telling the world about their same-sex attractions.
About a month after the CBS report made national headlines, a gay NBA player fulfilled my second prediction: Whoever comes out first will be the poster child for the radical gay agenda's campaign as they seek to make all things LGBT mainstream in a nation under God that's divided on gay marriage.
As Dr. Michael Brown points out in his book A Queer Thing Happened to America, 40 years ago, most Americans said they didn't know anyone who was gay or lesbian and claimed to know little or nothing about homosexuality. He writes, "Today, there's hardly a sitcom without a prominent gay character, gay-themed movies have won Oscars, the media celebrates the marriages of same-sex celebrities, elementary school textbooks indoctrinate children with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender ideology, many churches and synagogues now ordain gay clergy—and one of our elected officials is a man with cleavage who often wears a dress and high heels to work."
Brown doesn't specifically mention sports in that list, but we can now safely add "professional athletes are parading their homosexuality" to the proof that gay activists have succeeded in changing the face of what was once Christian culture in America. Collins is the poster child du jour, but you can be sure there will be others.
If there's any saving grace to active sports stars coming out as gay, it's this: We can now actively pray them. Christian athletes in their sphere of influence can minister to them.
Think about it for a minute: If Jason Collins coming out as gay caused such media hype, how much more of a stir would it cause if he fully surrendered his heart to Jesus Christ, waged war on same-sex attraction and urged others to seek God? Amen.

High school football | Seven Midlands players on Shrine Bowl roster
FORTY-FOUR OF the state's top players in the eyes of the S.C. high school football coaches will play against an all-star team from North Carolina on Saturday, including seven Midlands players.
Irmo is the only team from the Midlands with two representatives, placing defensive end/linebacker Darius Wright and kicker/punter Ben Hinson. Wright, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound defensive end for the Yellow Jackets, finished the season with 55 tackles, 22 for loss and 10 sacks. He's a physical player and plays with the same fire that his father, Frank Wright (Greenwood, USC) played with in high school. Darius can play back at linebacker or move up to the line and be ferocious off of the edge.
Hinson was a two-time player of the week for SCVarsity.com and was a weapon with his ball placement on punts and kicks. Fifty percent of his kicks were touchbacks, and he averaged 41 yards per punt.
The other Midlands players:
Dutch Fork defensive end Jamar Winston: A 6-8, 260-pound end for the Silver Foxes who turned heads this year as he continues to develop. The Charlotte commitment finished the season with 82 tackles, 10 for loss, and 6 sacks. He's long and rangy and has a big upside with the potential to develop as a player and mature physically.
Lexington offensive lineman Jonathan Boring: Boring, who committed to Troy, is a 6-5, 278-pound tackle who engages well off the snap, gets his hands on his opponent quickly and moves his feet constantly. He'll need to get stronger and more physical but has a good future if he puts forth the work.
Ridge View defensive end Curtis Bey: He finished the season with 64 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. At 6-2, 270, he will more than likely play inside at defensive tackle at the next level and might do the same Saturday.
Swansea linebacker Byron Johnson: He is a strong defensive presence with good instincts and closing speed. He led the team with 75 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and five sacks. He also is dangerous on offense as a receiver, with 34 receptions for 430 yards and eight touchdowns. He is committed to Furman.
White Knoll tight end Alex Brown: He is a versatile, jumbo athlete. At 6-2, 240, Brown possesses strong blocking skills and is athletic enough to move through defensive coverage and get open. He has soft hands and makes a good possession target downfield. His height is not ideal for protypical tight ends at the next level, but for the offense Navy runs, where he has committed, he could fit well at that spot.
Joining the Midlands players will be Airport coach Kirk Burnette, who is coaching quarterbacks for the Sandlappers. Since arriving at Airport as the AD/football coach in 2004, Burnette's teams have won three region titles, had the school's first undefeated regular season in 2009 and made eight consecutive playoff appearances.

Travel the world with Texarkana College's Road Scholars program and bring your educational experience to life by seeing the world firsthand. Encounter amazing cultural differences, find unique native foods that you truly like, and meet people whose interests are like your own, but coming from a different perspective. With the TC Road Scholars program, the pictures in your textbooks will come to life. You'll gain a greater understanding of our world. Apply today (.pdf) for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Road Scholars is a new program at Texarkana College designed to give students the opportunity to travel, experience different cultures, and enrich their learning with real-world adventures. Many people never have the opportunity to travel extensively, and Road Scholars makes world travel accessible for TC students to better prepare them for future success in the global marketplace. Road Scholars offers structured learning experiences abroad within the framework of academic courses.
Why travel abroad?
Texarkana College's new travel abroad program aims to better prepare our graduates to secure meaningful employment within the global marketplace that is today's reality. Our students have traditionally been place-bound and income challenged. The majority of them have never been outside of their home county and have not had opportunities to travel, learn about the world and America's place within it, or apply the knowledge they have acquired in the classroom to real-life situations. Texarkana College's Road Scholars Program hopes to change that.
How Road Scholars works
- This program offers nine elective, 16-week academic courses that have 45 contact hours, and will result in three-semester credit hours on a student's transcript.
- These courses will meet on campus for a number of weeks and then, over Spring Break each year, will travel abroad to learn firsthand about the things we have studied in class.
- Travel courses are available in the disciplines of History, Sociology, Psychology, Government, and Geography. The format of the classes goes along with regular core classes in these subjects, and students will be held to the same exacting standards as are present in those core classes.
- Students may take up to two Road Scholars courses each year for a total of 6 SCH.
- Space is limited to 36 students, and applicants must go through an admission process to enter the program. All participants will need a valid passport and be physically able to walk long distances and carry bags up several flights of stairs.
- Students must sign up during the fall semester preceding the Spring Break travel, and a deposit is required to hold your place in the course.
The Road Scholars Program is composed of three components:
- Student travel during the course of an academic class
- Faculty-led travel abroad opportunities offered through the Continuing Education Division of Texarkana College
- Opportunities for both students and faculty to spend an entire semester abroad teaching and learning in colleges and universities located throughout the world.
Come and join us as we learn and travel the globe.

Sasha Saunders is the daughter of a Polish rabbi who abandons the shtetl and wins renown as a Yiddish actress in Warsaw and New York. Her daughter Chloe becomes a professor of classics at Columbia. Chloe's daughter Phoebe grows up to become a mathematician who is drawn to traditional Judaism and the sort of domestic life her mother and grandmother rejected.

IDT and Intel move ahead on wireless power partnership
It might sound like a small thing, but having to mess around with power cords is a pain for a lot of us. This is particularly true when you need to plug in your computer or mobile phone in the dark and end up fumbling around looking for the port. It's much simpler to just sit your device down on the charging pad and recharge without having to fuss with wires.

Shrimp costs rise with Gulf oil spill
|| Print |
|High Five
|Friday, June 04, 2010
Barry Fronek, a Medford seafood broker, says that the oil disaster in the Gulf Coast will mean a rise in shrimp costs, as he and other brokers will need to look elsewhere.
Wild shrimp will be completely unavailable due to the spill and a U.S. regulatory moratorium on Mexican shrimp imports, so the options are limited to farm-produced shrimp from countries such as Ecuador and Bangladesh.

Hahaha awesome! also, Seth Rogen laugh
Haha, I love his voice.
best ending. never got into the show. Shinji really did all that in the show. couldn't take him seriously at all. Still great animation really funny
Yeah, Shinji got on my nervs. (lol) He was always such a little bitch completely dependant on other people to give him support before he had any confidence to get beyond crying in the dark. Pretty much the lamest protagonist ever. He got better, but not by much.
That was fantastic! As a fan of Evangelion I really enjoyed that, in particular the characterization of Gendo (which is something a lot of people don't seem to notice for some reason...)
Anyway, the only things that I could see improvement on is animation/art quality (which is something everyone can improve on) and actual overall length, which isn't even necessary.
Great work everybody!
This was so sweet! You must be an angel for writing something this lovely....

When the Philips Medical Systems division of Royal Philips Electronics introduced its HeartStart defibrillator in 2002, it was among the first low-cost, mass-market units designed for ordinary, untrained users. It received attention and plaudits due to its small size (a little bigger than a large hardcover book), light weight (2.1 kg/4.6 pounds) and ease of use, with prompts delivered by a soothing human voice.

The art of the egg: Ukrainian Easter Eggs are works of art
BEMIDJI — The ancient Romans coined a proverb: "Omne vivum ex ovo," which translates to "All life comes from an egg."
The ancient Greeks buried eggs in their tombs.
In Christianity, the early church in Byzantium taught that the brightly decorated and colored eggs were the tears that Mary shed at Jesus' crucifixion.

Love your double oven slide-in range?
We're in the beginning stages of an addition to our new home and I'm starting to search for appliances. My husband is a baker and often has a batch of cookies going while he's making dinner in the oven, so two ovens would be great. We'd prefer a range to a cooktop and aren't really interested in a big pro-style range, although I could be convinced in the $3000 range. I'd also prefer a double oven range to a wall oven, but could still be convinced. Yep, wishy washy here. Anyone have advice? Space isn't a particular issue.
Thank you!
Personally if it were me and space wasn't an issue, I would do a range top and either a single or two single wall oven's. I would weight the cost of each of those in the style's you like as well as the cooking type, e.g. gas, electric, induction.
We personally went with a BlueStar rangetop (36") and a single 30" Wolf wall oven. Now those are considered by most a higher end, but there are many many options out there that can and will do the same things.
If you go with separate's it gives you the ability to get something you like for each rather than possibly sacrificing on anything. Most bakers tend to like electric oven's compared to gas, but not all. A lot of people prefer to cook with gas compared to electric, though induction is making a good run now.
I prefer two single oven's to one double as if one breaks you don't lose both in that case (Worst case scenario).
I would do some more research and post back some brands you like, some styles (models if possible) and what you would prefer (Gas, induction etc.) as well as a budget.
Best of luck,
Ditto philwojo99.
If you buy a range, you get a "Compromise" between the burners and the oven, and if you go Dual fuel range, (gas burners, electric oven), then you really pay a premium, and still may not get the performance that you would with a single wall oven, especially cookie baking.
We usta have a range, we were always asking, "Stand aside" whilst I get into the oven, or "Are you about done with the oven, I need to stir that which is on the burners".
If there are 2 or more cooks, as is our case, You just can't beat a cook top and a separate oven, (Not mounted under the cook top, but mounted to the side of the cook top as ours is , or wall mounted.
That way you can choose the features you want for both the cook top and the oven, (Not some designers idea of what is best for you)!
I have an Electrolux slide-in induction range, and I love it! The second oven, though, is not really for hard-core baking. It's more like a warming drawer/somewhere to bake casseroles on Thanksgiving. Dirty little secret, mine is more of a storage drawer for pans.
I have the GE Profile Double Oven range. I love having the convenience of a smaller oven to use for just the two of us and still have a larger oven to cook for the occasional crowd all in one standard range.
