Destroying the Myth About Global Warming
I’ve always maintained that the “Global Warming” phenomenon is just a farce. Sure, the days seem to be hotter nowadays, but is there such a unprecedented level of danger to the survival of the earth that we need to make so many sacrifices, with even some scientists and politicians calling for the preservation of the environment at the expense of human lives?!

Of course, we are to be good stewards of the resources given to us of God, but when you think about the agenda behind this movement, you begin to see who really benefits. Do you benefit when you decline a plastic bag for your groceries? No, I’d say that the supermarket saves on providing you with some convenient manner with which to carry your purchases. And what about all these calls to buy environmentally-safe products at higher costs? Who gains?

I Kissed A Girl And Liked It
Oh, wonderful, I am so thrilled, NOT!

A recently-released song titled “I Kissed A Girl And Liked It” was apparently done by Kate Perry who claims to be Christian and was herself formerly known as Katy Hudson in the gospel music industry.

I’m not displaying the video here, but you can view it on YouTube if you’re interested.

The Feminization Continues
The color pink, frills, ribbons, lace, and other materials more commonly found on ladies’ wear like crepe de chine, organza, shantung and silk voile, are soon going to be worn by men if these fashion designers have their way (pictured above).

I’m thinking they might go even go well with these new under-things called “manties“.

Genesis, Babel And The Chinese Language
Since a brother, Nelson, mentioned the discovery that the Chinese language might actually reflect what was recorded in the book of Genesis, I have been quite interested in this subject since it touches part of my heritage and culture.

Chinese words are pictograms, i.e. each word is made up of characters separately representing the idea or object. Some scholars have recently put forward the theory that some Chinese words actually concur with events recorded in the Bible, in particular the flood, the ark and even the fall.

Answers in Genesis has a three-part series (so far) on this proposition. The entire video is listed as being 55 minutes long, with each part lasting 11 minutes, so I think there’ll be two more parts coming.

In Genesis, God made a covenant with Abraham that is to become the seal of God’s relationship with his descendants, the Jews — circumcision of males.

This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

Genesis 17:10-11

Not only were male descendents of Abraham to be circumcised, but those that they take into their households, or born into a Jewish household and even servants that were bought.

He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.

Genesis 17:12-13

In Part One, we learned that marriage is an institution ordained by God from the very beginning, when Eve was made a help for Adam as God knew that it was no good for man to be alone.

In this second part, we’ll look at the gender roles for men and women in a marriage as instructed in the Bible.

Husbands

Perhaps the most important passage in the Bible on the role of the husband in a marriage is found in Ephesians 5:23 –

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:23

That sets the tone for any marriage. The husband is the head of the family, just as Christ Jesus is the head of the church.

In today’s world where we read and hear of failed marriages leading to divorces, adultery and of couples that no longer communicate, it’s time to take a step back and see what God intended for men and women in the institution of marriage.

What most married couples don’t realize is that God has ordained separate and distinct roles for men and women in a marriage, and that it is exactly this failure to recognize and fulfill their roles that most couples end their marriages citing irreconcilable differences.
