History of the Crusades: The Battle of Tours, 732. Islam Halted
Last updated on: February 26, 2015 at 11:06 am By Rebecca Hamilton
I hope that you are following this series. Popular media and the anti-history that we are being taught gives an inaccurate view of the Crusades designed to be used in Christian bashing. This has reached the point that the President of the United States can allude to this propaganda as history in a speech about the genocide of Christians in a large part of the world today. We need to know the truth. I am aware that there are Islamic... Read more

Rep Kern Gets Ban on Bans of Gay Conversion Therapy Out of Committee
Last updated on: February 25, 2015 at 10:05 am By Rebecca Hamilton
Representative Sally Kern got her bill banning bans on gay conversion therapy out of committee. HB 1598 passed without debate on a unanimous vote after a committee substitute was accepted, also on a unanimous vote. It now goes to the full House, where it may or may not come to a vote. For an explanation of the process, go here. If it does come to a vote, we may get to see some entertaining debate. From The Daily Oklahoman: A bill that... Read more

Novena for the Persecuted Church, Day 1
Last updated on: March 24, 2017 at 3:24 pm By Rebecca Hamilton
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Rev 12: 17 – 18 A Novena is a nine-day prayer. The idea behind a nine-day prayer... Read more

History of the Crusades: The Rise of Charles Martel and Byzantine Iconoclasm 718-731
Last updated on: February 25, 2015 at 9:59 am By Rebecca Hamilton
This video may seem rather dry. But it gives the background leading up to the resistance which led to the Crusades themselves. Charles Martel was a game-changing personage in Christian history. I am aware that there are Islamic teachings which lead to a more peaceful application of that faith. I think that the interpretation referenced here is an accurate depiction of of the application of Islamic teachings in 633-638 AD. It also seems that it is still relevant to... Read more

Teaching Hate: Anti-Semitism Soaring on US College Campuses
Last updated on: February 25, 2015 at 8:37 am By Rebecca Hamilton

It is unknown whether they plan to slaughter these people, sell them as slaves or use them for barter in prisoner exchanges. Patriarch Ignace Joseph Younan, Syriac Patriarch of Antioch, asks for prayer for the captives, saying that ISIS terrorists are “full of hatred and venomous feelings” toward Syrian Christians and that they are “ready to do … horrible acts without any human feelings,” adding that it is...
