Neil - I agree with you on the "progressives". Interestingly, Tony Campolo was advocating such share buying about 20 years ago, with a very different agenda though.

"Thus far". It seems to me that there is a tacit admission here that the First Minister and the Northern Ireland Legislature has no ultimate right in law to block legally sovereign EU Directives.

For those of you who have 20 bucks to invest in a newly-released book by expert climatologist Dr. Greg Singer of George Mason University, which is filled with years of research, read "Unstoppable Global Warming . . . Every 1,500 Years".
Dr. Singer is not an entertainer, or politician, but is a chaired professor with years of research experience.

Pick up a copy of "Unstoppable Global Warming . . . Every 1500 years", written by a known and well-respected climatology researcher, Dr. Greg Singer, with affiliation with a major Virginia University. Al Gore??? C'mon . . .

"Apparently you are either a Gore supporter or a believer in 'global warming' or both."
So because I would not join you condemning a man's character by the look of his eyes when he talks I am a "Gore supporter"?

Is that your "biblical" standard of evidence? How about examining what I ACTUALLY SAID?

I last heard such "look of the eyes" reasoning from an ARBCA church's deacon at a church members' meeting.
(Next day, we heeded the words of a godly reformed baptist pastor years before who had always exhorted his flock to leave a church if we ever saw it depart from the Word of God).

Yes. I am being objective.
I have watched Al Gore for many years. I base my opinion of him on my observations of him over time. His recent appearance on David Letterman's show only reinforced my opinion.
I am no expert on the ins and outs of mental health and stability so "certifiable nut" is conjecture on my part. "Stupid", however, is stupid and if Al Gore is not some kind of robot being controlled by sinister forces, based on his own words and behavior, I believe him to be stupid.
Since this is indeed a Christian website, I will henceforth refer to him as "brutish" rather than "stupid".
Therefore, based upon years of observation, I am of the opinion that Al Gore is brutish. He also scares me so I stand by "scary", too.

Utter rubbish from WND once again being propagated.

Yes, there is a grave concern over China's persecution of Christ. The evidence is ample.

But No, the Chinese government's indignant reaction to a pack of lies in the media does not show one jot that there is an underlying worry over issues involving religion in China. Indignation is a perfectly appropriate reaction to lies.

The fact that such ridiculous statements are put out by WND and "a Christian ministry" only serve to show an underlying worry about WND and "a Christian ministry".

It would be more Christian to apologise for the garbage story propagated in the first place. That might serve as a Christian witness to the Chinese government. This "news" reporting will not - it is a disservice to the cause of Christ in China (and also throughout the world wide web).

Any help for the poor from government, Biblically speaking, is by protecting them from those who would victimize them.

For a man with a Suffolk name you need to be advised that that insult (which I assume Sermonaudio will have the good grace to delete very soon) "always" applies to YOU and your ancestors!

However in my estimation your post loses Christian credibility with the silly jibe about "YOUR criteria for being born again".

I'm struck by the assumption that the key issue addressed is the absence of a "Biblical worldview".

I would suggest in answer to the question "Do You Really Believe What You Profess?" what is missing today is an absence of HOLINESS and REPENTANCE.

I have seen the most blatant and appalling breaches of the 10 Commandments by professing pastors, deacons, churches and Christians in general. Whilst not an absolute rule it has often been the case that it is those who spoke the most about "Biblical worldviews" who were unrepentant for their sin.
