Rev. Bill Keller, the world’s leading Internet Evangelist and the founder of Liveprayer.com with over 2.5 million subscribers worldwide reading the daily devotional he has written every morning for 16 years on the issues of the day from a Biblical worldview, has put together a petition drive demanding NBCUniversal apologize to “born-again Bible-believing Christians” for mocking and demeaning their faith beliefs.
Although I believed I was healthy and fit, by the time I reached my 22nd birthday, my 6-foot-2 frame had skyrocketed to 270 pounds and I was diagnosed with borderline hypoglycemia. My blood pressure and my cholesterol levels were high and my health was rapidly deteriorating.
Bishops and Deputies at the Episcopal Church’s 78th General Convention have authorized a gender-neutral marriage rite that officially brings same-sex marriage to the 1.8 million-member denomination.
The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) is repulsed by the Supreme Court’s decision last week to undermine the institution of marriage by imposing “gay marriage” nationwide. Moreover, taking note of Chief Justice John Roberts’ dissenting opinion, NRB is concerned about the Court’s intentions for the clearly delineated guarantee in the U.S. Constitution that citizens may freely exercise their religion.
In a decision that upends millennia of history and guts the rule of law, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling on same-sex marriage this morning, voting to redefine marriage and strip states of their rights to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
“On a hill, far away, stood an old rugged cross,” a woman (Ida Bolender) sings these words to a little girl (Norma Jeane). The only honest depiction of faith in the Lifetime miniseries “The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe” which aired May 30th and 31st of 2015. The rest of the miniseries was venomous, Christian Science spewing from her mentally unstable mother with no clear differentiation between Christianity and the mentally ill. Devout Baptists Wayne and Ida Bolender took in Norma when she was two weeks old and loved her along with the other foster kids. They attended Hawthorne Community Church and lived on an agricultural farm. Unfortunately Norma’s mother took her from the Bolender’s before age ten – Norma/Marilyn loved this home referring to Wayne Bolender as “Daddy” all of her life (she never knew her biological father). Norma’s removal began a slide into emotional distress, a fear of mental illness, immorality, and drugs/alcohol which lead to an early death. Imagine the international impact Monroe could have had within Christianity if she was able to live within a stable, nurturing environment.
