Our bodies are also made in the image of God. There is indeed great glory to our bodies, and especially our faces. In fact, there is nothing else more glorious in all of creation.

Is Putin a Christian? Has Russia replaced U.S. as world's moral leader? — interview with James Perloff
Youtube here. Audio podcst here. According to longtime anti-communist and anti-New World Order author James Perloff: "Unlike so many U.S. officials who, indoctrinated by the Council on Foreign Relations, place global interests above America’s, Putin is a nationalist who looks out for his own citizens. . .

Catholics caused modern atheism, and the Protestants didn't fix it—Interview with Jay Dyer
Youtube here. Audio podcast here. Today's occultic and atheistic society in the West can be traced back to basic theological decisions of the Church a thousand years ago. Both Catholics and Protestants ignored certain key basic philosophical teachings of the historic, Eastern Church the first thousand years, choosing instead to hold the emphases of Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle as more important than the Fathers of the Church.

Dean details this topic in his talk to a local civic group in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Civitan Club.
Geopolitics, Corruption, Conspiracy, and the Supernatural: a comprehensive Christian worldview—interview with Jay Dyer.
Youtube here. Audio podcast here . Many of you likely cringe at including all those other words along with “conspiracy theorist.” And that’s exactly why Jay is, in my opinion, one of the pre-eminent thinkers of our day. We live in a very corrupt generation, and unless some people are willing to start dealing with facts in a rational manner and take the risk of a lost paycheck—or being called names—the rest of us will continue to live under a cloud of deception and manipulation.

Real Black Power - Twelve things Ethiopian Orthodox Christians can teach American Christians
We white people are just so used to thinking of blacks and Africans from a colonial perspective, where the people from the dark continent have been so blessed the past 200 years to learn from their white conquerers. But Ethiopia (the only African country not to be colonized, pushing back two Italian invastions in both 1899 and 1935) is not like all the other African countries where Christianity coincides with white invasion.
Why am I so interested in Ethiopia (other than the future of the planet)?
The secret of Ethiopia's greatness
The Mother and Child icon is not seasonal.
This is what binds society together. This is what makes men productive instead of wastrels, whether in the form of gamblers and substance abusers or country club narcissists. Without the image of a helpless Christ, we are reduced to pre-Christian goals of conquering and enslaving to support our self-centered vision of life.
