[1] Ligon Duncan Elected To Regular Faculty of Reformed Theological Seminary

Reformed Theological Seminary announced 13 January 2012 that the Rev. Dr. J. Ligon Duncan, III, has been elected as a regular member of the faculty and appointed as the John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, beginning 1 January 2012.

Dr. Duncan will continue as the senior minister of First Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America) of Jackson, Mississippi, a position he has held since 1996, and will reduce his national speaking engagements as he assumes a larger teaching load at the seminary.

[2] Indiana Issues Specialty Automobile License Plate for Homosexual, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender Teen Recruitment and Support Center

Indiana has become the first state to issue a pro-homosexual specialty automobile license plate, raising funds to help the Indiana Youth Group, a homosexual, bi-sexual, and transgender teen recruitment and support center.

Micah Clark, Executive Director of the American Family Association of Indiana, stated:

“You have to question what the BMV [Bureau of Motor Vehicles] was thinking when they approved a license plate for a group which recruits teens into the homosexual lifestyle. Since health risks do not seem to matter, what is to prevent a cigar club from now getting a license plate from the BMV?

“State agencies should be neutral in the politically charged culture war especially the promotion of homosexuality among minors. It is very disappointing that Indiana is the first state in the nation to have a license plate celebrating youth involved in homosexual behaviors.”

[3] Kuwaiti Prince Professes Faith in Jesus Christ

The Christian Arabic television station Al-haqiqa recently broadcast an audio file attributed to Kuwaiti Prince Abdollah Al-sabah, a Kuwaiti royal family member, where the prince professed faith in Jesus Christ saying:

“First of all, I totally agree with the distribution of this audio file and I now declare that if they kill me because of this audio file, then I'll go into the presence of Jesus Christ and be with him for all eternity.

“I'm satisfied with whatever they do to me, because the truth in the Bible has guided me to the right way.”

Al-haqiqa also said that the prince recently denounced his Islamic faith and became a Christian.

[4] Blogger Reports that the Design for the King Abdullah International Gardens in Saudi Arabia Bears an Uncanny Resemblance to the Flight 93 – 9 September 2001 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania

The Urban Infidel blogger reported 17 January 2011 that the design for the planned King Abdullah International Gardens in Saudi Arabia Bears an uncanny resemblance to the Flight 93 – 9 September 2001 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, which purportedly honors the heroes of Flight 93 who forced the hijackers of the airplane to crash the airplane into a field in southwestern Pennsylvania before the plane could be crashed into a building such as the White House or the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC.

The Flight 93 National Memorial is in the shape of a Muslim crescent and star, a symbol of Muslim empire since the 12^th century, the central point of which points to the Islamic holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
