Down with the Declaration
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The Declaration of Independence is easily the most well-known document in American history, right?
Not so fast….

Removing Sin
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithSin. Three letters. One syllable. Not a big word on paper. But if the Bible is to be believed, “sin” carries with it a rather significant meaning. But don’t bother looking up that meaning in the dictionary.
Some editions no longer include the word on their pages.

The Bronze Rat
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithA tourist browsing a curio shop in New York noticed a very lifelike, bronze statue of a rat. It didn’t have a price tag, but the man was intrigued enough that he decided to buy it. “How much for the bronze rat?” he asked the shop owner.
“Fifty bucks for the rat. Two hundred bucks for the story,” came the reply.

Oh God! It’s Mom!
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithAnyone with siblings knows what it’s like to argue with their brothers/sisters. They also know what it’s like to get caught by their mother doing it.
But Dallas and Brad Woodhouse took it to another level. Their mom busted them on TV!

A Life Worth Sacrificing
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithMost folks on the pro-life side of the abortion fence wonder what those on the opposite side of the issue think about unborn babies. Are they human? Just a fetus? A life? Tissue? Now, thanks to one pro-choice writer, there is crystal clear understanding.
An unborn baby is nothing more than a “life worth sacrificing.”

Botching the Bible
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithAt one time or another, almost every politician in America has made a reference to the Bible…usually to support their political agenda or to show how “Christian” they are. But sometimes, their references to Scripture aren’t exactly “biblical.”
Of course, some seem to do it more frequently than others.

The Cross Gets Cut
by davidrsmithby davidrsmithEvery football team has that crazy set of fans who paints their bodies to match the team’s colors. For the Tigers of LSU, it’s The Painted Posse. These young men, who happen to be Christians, love the Tigers almost as much as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Look closely at their picture to the right, and you can see their loyalty to LSU and the Kingdom of God.
That is, until Louisiana State University does a little Photoshopping….
