Monday June 5, 2006

Music: Switchfoot is offering a new, unreleased song for download on their site. They are currently in the studio working on a new album which is scheduled for release this fall. And there was great rejoicing.

Weird: On June 1st, 2006, Secret Service agents showed up at the office of Great News Network in Dallas, Texas and demanded their entire stock of $1 million dollar gospel tracts that are produced by Ray Comfort’s ministry, Living Waters. The tracts are used by Ray Comfort and his co-host Kirk Cameron and have been promoted on their national television program. Christian Worldview Network has the story (click and then scroll down a little bit).

Terrorism: This weekend the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested 17 muslim men who were planning to carry out a terror attack here in Canada. Dr. Haykin has some good thoughts and a link to a news report. “we must never forget that among the people for whom our Lord Jesus died are those who today call upon Allah. And there is coming a great day when they will cast this idol to the winds, the bats and the moles, and be converted and worship the Lord Christ.”
