The Manhattan Declaration

November 24, 2009

“The Gospel According to Matt,” aka Matt Summers, endorses the Manhattan Declaration with one caveat: that it treats the issue of poverty as a symptom of the problem rather than a systemic part of the problem. Jesus offers more direction on helping the poor than He does any of the issues mentioned in the declaration.

For information (or to read) the Manhattan Declaration check out/contact: Michelle Farmer or Amy Anderson (770) 813-0000 or (770) 757-4900 cell mfarmer@demossgroup.com www.DeMossNews.com/ManhattanDeclaration

Singing Praises to Allah…

November 24, 2009

I found the following song in my son’s backpack.  When I asked him what it was, he explained that it’s one of the songs he and his classmates are singing at music class (in the public school he attends).

“Ramadan comes once a year

Celebrate that Allah’s here

Fasting food for thirty days

Honoring [Him] with faithful praise

Celebrate with family

Holidays for all and me”

What happened to “separation of church and state?”  It was a great clause when used by proponents  to marginalize Christianity.  But now it has been cast aside for the sake of multiculturalism and pluralism.  Call me old-fashioned, but I want to go back to the good old days when religion was kept out of the schools altogether—like, you know, last year!
