Happy 1st Blog/Facebook Birthday Exodus!

firstbirthday

It's hard to believe we have had this blog, and complementary Facebook page, for a full year as of today! I am very glad to see this blog succeed. We had one serious attempt to have a ministry blog in the past that just didn't quite work.  So with lessons learned and the advent of social networking ... this blog took off right out of the gate! While I don't know that our blog will *ever* be a top dog blog like Instapundit (who knows really? :) ) we don't do this for "the numbers."  Regardless, I am a stats-a-holic so here are some statistical tidbits that those who do read this blog might … [Read more...]

Former Lesbian Lisa Miller Disappears with Daughter (CNN Video)

Such a tragic case, for all involved.  I don't know much of the details beyond what is being reported in the news (of what is happening right now) so I will simply post the video and keep Lisa, Isabella and Lisa's former partner Janet Jenkins, in prayer. I am not planning a follow up post at the moment but that could change after some more meditation on the topic. There are a lot of "issues" involved here. It's complicated and again tragic.

After Thoughts, Before Christmas

thepassion

Well, this caused a stir. :) Here are a few after-thoughts on the whole situation. First, let me say that I truly respect Mat Staver and the Liberty Counsel. I have had many good conversations with Mr. Staver as well as those that work with him over the years. Staver has always shown respect and kindness to Exodus and it bothers me that his organization has been indirectly affected by this. Second, it is also true that I have had great discussions with both Peter LaBarbera and Matt Barber as well. I have challenged and been challenged by them. That said, I obviously won't tolerate … [Read more...]

Hate Crimes Sent To Obama’s Desk – What’s Top Priority?

hatecrime

It is true that Exodus is not focusing on public policy as a primary goal right now but this is a historic move and deserves attention and prayer. What follows is my own personal opinion.  From the definitely "right" (politically) leaning OneNewsNow.com : Christians on high alert over hate crimes passage A hate crimes bill sent to President Obama for his signature raises a red flag for Christians. On Thursday, the U.S. Senate passed a hate crimes bill that Christian leaders have warned for years could greatly infringe on the rights of those who speak to loudly about their religious … [Read more...]
