Terri Schiavo has died- how many more innocent deaths to come?

March 31, 2005

A commentator on my post concerning Terris death stated: We in the States began sowing the wind decades ago and now we are begin to reap the smallest of horrific harvests yet to come. It was inevitable that a culture that, thirty-plus years ago, pronounced when life began would soon determine when life should end….. [...]

Terri Schiavo – murdered by the American System?

March 31, 2005

Terri has died in a way quite bizarre to me as a UK observer. How can it be that both the governor of the state and the president can express a desire for a different outcome and yet this woman was starved to death. How can the US parliment and courts disagree so publically? Why [...]

March 30, 2005

Just spotted an old comment on my blog. It came from a man called Mick Porter who appears not to have a blog. I honestly hope he does get one at some point though. Here is what he graciously said on a post in which I stressed the precious nature of good preaching, and how [...]

The Cost of and rewards of preaching to be a Soul-Winner

March 30, 2005

More on the power of preaching to change lives

Rick Warren on Larry King Live

March 28, 2005

CNN had an interview with Rick Warren in the aftermath of the Ashley Smith incident. I know that Warren has many detractors, but all I can say is I rejoice that the gospel message got out on CNN through him. WARREN: “You know, this guy was acting in — when he started killing people, when [...]

Scotwise is a regular commentator here, who’s wisdom in the comments hides the fact that on his own blog he is one of those bloggers who are wise enough to realise there are people who can say things much better than him. In Scotwise’s case the real wisdom comes from a peppering of fantastic quotes [...]

Just another day of cynical opportunism for Michael Howard?

March 21, 2005
