If Christ has not been raised your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead 1 Cor 15:17b, 19, 20
“There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battle for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave…”
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
The news of the timely death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi brought back unwelcome memories – nightmares of the horror of this misguided creature’s brutal butchery of innocents. What perverted view of God could ever drive someone to commit such horrendous crimes? He certainly wasn’t inspired by the God that I know!
I suppose Zarqawi was living under the delusion that now, after having gone to his “reward”, he would be enjoying a private harem of 70 young virgins. But by now he will have found his destiny to be somewhat different!
Little speculation is required to envision the type of creatures that inhabit Zarqawi’s new abode.
His new wives will not give the pleasant embraces that he anticipated, but the price for Zarqawi’s sins must be paid. The one true God is a God of justice!
If we reject Christ’s gift of salvation then, like Zarqawi, each of us must face the penalties for our own sins without a savior. Why choose such a horrible destiny when Christ’s gift is freely given; we need only claim Him as Savior and Lord!
The war on terror is dragging on and on. Iran is working to develop atomic weapons. Concerns persist about the intent of China’s military buildup. Russia is apparently moving back towards its Soviet roots.
And now 6/6/6 (June 6, 2006). Can the end of the world be far off? It is certain that we have never been closer – the world is a very dangerous place indeed!
Whether the sun will rise for planet Earth tomorrow is hard to predict. A more serious question to ask oneself is whether the sun will rise tomorrow for my individual life. One can never be certain.
The wisest way to proceed is to live today as if it is my last day. I should try to ensure that I am not wasting this gift of life; that I am living the life that I will wish to have lived upon looking back from my last day!

Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are poised to make a big splash with their new movie, “The Da Vinci Code”. In this fictional thriller, Dan Brown (the author) makes some scandalous “fact” claims about the historical Jesus that should not remain unchallenged. But a closer look will show that, for all but the most casual seeker, these claims are easily exposed as nonsense.
For example, one of Dan Brown’s claims was that Jesus was only a great man and prophet — not the unique and risen “Son of God” as Christianity asserts. But there are myriads of evidences to support the position of classical Christianity that Jesus is who He claimed to be — the incarnate and unique Son of God. Look, for example, at the incredible alignment of the life of Christ to Old Testament prophecy.
Some of the most striking prophecies of the Messiah fill the Old Testament book of Isaiah, written hundreds of years before the time of Christ. The book of Isaiah is one of the best documented ancient books of the Bible; with a complete copy dating from the 2nd century BC found among the Dead Sea scrolls at Qumran (see: http://www.biblecentre.org).
The book of Isaiah is loaded with Messianic prophecy with some of the most striking found in chapters 49 and 53. But many prophecies describe the promised Messiah with exquisite clarity. For example,

The current policy of the US government treats our Democratic Republic as something that we did
for ourselves. While our founders certainly played their parts, they almost universally also acknowledged a deep dependence upon the God and wisdom of the Bible. And they assumed that only like-minded people could be successfully governed by our Democracy. As John Adams said quite well:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
We abandon these truths to our very great peril!
But the Palestinian people under Hamas are likely to soon make this point for Adams. Let us pray that the Iraqi people will not do the same.
I wonder do the recent violent protests over the Danish Muhammad caricatures finally dispel the
myth of Islam as a peaceful religion? Doesn’t it seem far-fetched to associate such widespread and deadly protests with only a fringe element of an otherwise peaceful religion?
