Occasionally, I will be posting news that Christians should care about. It will not always be written by Christians for Christians. Althoug, many times it will. I will be using everything I read on an ongoing basis. Hopefully, it will help you catch what you could be missing. If you disagree, I would like to hear about it. If you think action is necessary, give us an idea what to do. However, comments that are not in the spirit of good debate, such as name calling and the like, will not be posted.

Not everything i post will be what I believe is right. After all, it is news. But, there are times that what we hear about should alarm us. There are times we must sound the alarm bells. Thaf way we can get involved and so as to determine what we should do.

My hope is that this helps you gain perspective on what we as conservative evangelicals believe, hold precious, and should be vocally supportive or opposed to. It does matter.
