When our feathers are ruffled and we’re on edge, finding the capacity to share critical information softly and slowly can be a huge challenge. Such was the case with a couple who came to The Marriage Recovery Center recently. Debra and Chal arrived under a cloud of tension. I could sense their discomfort with one another as they unloaded their luggage from their car. Chal seemed restless and irritable as he grabbed Debra’s bags.
In India, marrying off a daughter means one less mouth to feed, which is why children are forced to illegally marry very young. CBN News was there for one ceremony.
Actually, the Islamic world already does have a nuclear bomb--up to 110 of them, in fact--in the form of Pakistan.
The difference is that Pakistan's government--while certainly a duplicitous accessory to jihad--is, unlike Iran, currently not run by theocratic, apocalyptic madmen. Of course, that could change at a moment's notice if and when Pakistan's teetering regime is overthrown by the Taliban and/or other assorted Islamic jihadists. But for now, at least, it's much more likely that if Pakistan uses one of its nukes, it will be to the East, against its arch-rival, India.
While writing my article last week on addictions, I realized that I also have many that I need to learn to control. I realized one in particular is a very bad parenting habit. Starting today, I am going to be Facebook free for 21 days. My children really do get bothered by the amount of time I spend online. Being that I work online it seems like if I am home the computer is always in front of my face.
Rick Santorum stopped by The Brody File studios and sat down to talk about his newly formed organization called, Patriot Voices.
He also talked to me about the 2012 presidential campaign and being a "Teavangelical."
His interview will air on next week's Brody File show. Watch below.
Summertime is when we should be on high alert against E. coli, which produces a deadly toxin and can cause violent reactions, kidney damage, even death. The reason this is associated with summer is because this is the time of year for outdoor grilling, picnics, and more people eating raw fruits and vegetables.
All of these activities increase the risk of consuming food containing bacteria. The good news is, if we are vigilant, we can largely protect ourselves against E. coli.
Here's some proof that evangelical organizations were heavily mobilized during Gov. Scott Walker's recall election. The Faith & Freedom Coalition did the following in Wisconsin:
Sent out 100,000 Voter Guides, set up Phone Banks, did Voter Mail all in an attempt to target over 250,000 Faith-Based Voters.
Let's be clear: this type of effort by FFC and other evangelical groups will be going on in key swing states during the presidential race. It's a toxic, Teavangelical potion that could make President Obama a one term president.
Supporters of school prayer have long argued its merits since the Supreme Court rendered its rulings against school-sponsored prayer in the early 1960s.
But a new battle is emerging on whether the people who run, operate, and manage school policy at the local level can or should start off their meetings with prayer.
I don't know about you, but God had to shout to get my attention. It happened when my marriage fell apart and I filed for divorce. Up until then, life was pretty good. I had a good relationship with God, or so I thought. We spent time together in the morning as I read my devotion for the day, my “quick fix” before the busyness of life began. I had no idea that God was not satisfied with our superficial relationship.
Jerusalem is mentioned 600 times in the Old Testament and another 160 times in the New Testament. It is never mentioned in the Koran.
Yet a battle continues to rage today over whether Jerusalem should remain Israel's undivided capital.
Yesterday on Capitol Hill, members of the International Israel Allies Caucus Foundation (IIACF) called on the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel and to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the Eternal City.
