Understanding the Middle East

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, the director of Barnabas Aid, has written a fantastic, easy to read article entitled Making Sense of the Tumultuous Events in the Middle East. While the American media loves to talk about the Middle East and offer opinions about events there, it rarely takes the time to explain the nuts and bolts […]

Hey Egypt!

Today I was sickened to hear on the radio that Egyptians are blaming the U.S. for the violence and death in their country. Citizens of Egypt, hear me loud and clear: please do not confuse average Americans with the guy in the White House. I, for one, have always been against the United States giving […]

Stand Up for Saeed!

Saeed Abedini, an American pastor imprisoned for his faith in Iran in violation of their laws, our laws, and multiple human rights treaties, is being tortured. They might hang him.  Think about that. While most of us are sitting at home in a nice, comfortable chair leisurely browsing the web, one of our own is […]
