In the twilight of our representative, democratic republic, parental rights must bow to the opinions of an emotionally underdeveloped child.  I kid not (pun intended): the wave of globalization washing away oaths to protecting the U.S. Constitution is leaving inane laws in its wake. Today, parents are forbidden to homeschool their children, forbidden to remove their child from a class that counters the values and beliefs of the parent, and forbidden to take a child to church if that youngster would rather play Halo on Sunday mornings. Do you think I am writing hyperbole, or perhaps of a scenario that would never darken an American  household?  Watch this 37min video, which contains 3 reenactments of real U.S. court stories, and decide for yourself: HT: Thinking in Christ , which notes an interesting quote from the Washington Post re: Nancy Pelosi, who is seeking to regain the 25 lost seats in the House. " And if that happens — or when, ac...

This excellent interview with George Donnelly of We Won't Fly discusses the primary concerns surrounding the so-called "porno scanners."  Embedding has been disabled by CBS, so click here to watch the interview (7:22).

The Christian missionaries arrested in Michigan based on false charges faced their pretrial yesterday. The judge wants more evidence. You can read Nabeel's post here and the story run by The Detroit News here .

I noticed that James White pointed out another video that exposes one gentleman's false report to police.  Here is that video: What made me perk up was that the man in this video, Roger Williams, claims to be a Christian missionary from Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL, the church to which, in human terms, I owe my salvation.  The "Witness Unto Me" blog interviewed Williams , where he claimed the above video twisted his side of the story (?!?).  He also claimed in that interview that TBC does evangelism quite differently, a claim which I refuted in the meta.  (As a side note: TBC has changed its image over the past few years, so I am not completely discounting the possibility that they have changed their evangelistic methods.) I would be willing to accept that this guy was so incensed due to his supposed doctrinal disagreement with Acts 17 that he would blurt out that You-need-to-worry-about-me-messing-with-you comment and then, realizing ...

You might remember the arrest of Christians who were witnessing at an Arab festival in Dearborn .  This was the same group harassed  at the 2009 festival . Well, the video cameras were returned, and those at Acts 17 Ministries do not seem to have deserved the treatment they received from police.  You be the judge.

Her trial for "Disturbing the Peace" and "Failure to Obey a Police Order" is set for September 20th. Pre-trial is August 30th. HT to James White .  From his blog: We finally have video of the arrest of David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi in Dearborn. I am truly incensed. I am incensed, of course, at the grossly unconstitutional actions of the Dearborn PD (and the clearly politically based cove...

You might remember that a year ago, a small group of Christian missionaries went to the annual Arab festival in Dearborn and were harassed by security guards .  (I say missionaries  because this was an ethnic celebration, not an Islamic/religious one as some have misunderstood.) On Friday, June 18, they were back at the festival.  This time the police decided it would be easier to simply arrest the Christians.  Why?  Who knows?  They were not impeding traffic or causing a disruption.  They were avoiding speaking on Islam and simply shared the message "Jesus loves you."   Their cameras were confiscated by police and have yet to be returned.  Upon their release from prison, though, they released the following video with other footage provided by another person: (HT: Acts 17 ) Jesus promised believers this kind of behavior when they obey His word.  I know there are Christians who are intentionally rude to police to try to get...
