The China Abortion Syndrom

This is quite a disturbing article about the Chinese totalitarian state and how it is trying to maanipulate gender balance. Intentional or not, this causes skyrocking and disturbing abortion rates. In the wake of these practices it appears all moral conscience ragarding abortions has evaporated from the people in China.

The Fastest Growing Religion is What?

It's Atheism, and, if you haven't noticed, they are getting more vocal and more visible. Now there are billboards. Soon there will be ads on TV (next to the Methodists and the Mormons) encouraging all to feel "not alone" in our "non-theism."





The article states, "In more recent findings, the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) found that the percentage of Americans claiming no religion jumped from 8.2 percent in 1990 to 14.2 in 2001, and increased to 15 percent in 2008."





It's easy to get angry at or be discouraged by this group, but stand back, Christian, and think of how miserable and lonely they really are. Can you pray that they will have their hearts softened, minds opened, and that the Holy Spirit would do a great work among them? That is my prayer.

World Evil Update

Sorry to have to bring this reminder of the reality of Christian suffering in the world.

One man burned alive and his father murdered in Eqypt. By an out of control mob. These crimes are, in reality, against Christ, in addition to the people. Think about it.

"The Shack" Author William P. Young Interviewed

This is a fairly long interview (40 mins or so) of Young by Pastor Kendall Adams from Burlington Baptist Church (Iowa).

Young calls this interviewer one of the most grace-filled and fair interviewers he has had do deal with.

It's a great interview, I think.

If you want to follow up, here is Pastor Adams' blog entry regarding this issue.

Wikipedia Scrubs Obama Eligibility

Wikipedia, the online "free encyclopedia" mega-site written and edited entirely by its users, has been deleting within minutes any mention of eligibility issues surrounding Barack Obama's presidency, with administrators kicking off anyone who writes about the subject, WND has learned.

A perusal through Obama's current Wikipedia entry finds a heavily guarded, mostly glowing biography about the U.S. president. Some of Obama's most controversial past affiliations, including with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and former Weathermen terrorist Bill Ayers, are not once mentioned, even though those associations received much news media attention and served as dominant themes during the presidential elections last year.

Get Ready for Gdrive

Google Drive, or Gdrive as it is better known, has to be the most anticipated Google product so far. When it arrives, Gdrive will likely cause a major paradigm shift in how we use computers and bring Google one step closer to dethroning Windows on your desktop.

The service has the potential to eclipse even Gmail, Google's second best-known product after their google.com search engine. That said, it's no wonder users have been ripe with anticipation for years - yes, that's how long the rumors have persisted. Gdrive is basically online storage where Google servers have enough capacity to hold the entire contents of your hard drive. It will likely also come with enough brains to do cool tricks now with bigger things down the road - like booting your computer from online drive to load the Google operating system.
