  • CHEAP eBook Deal of the Day: Closing the Window: Steps to Living Porn Free (Tim Chester) – $2.99 (80% off).
  • Doy Moyer writes, “Repentance and confession are fundamental to the Christian’s relationship to God. These are not merely one time ‘steps’ in a plan of salvation, but are necessary components in an ongoing fellowship in which God’s grace grants forgiveness and hope.”
  • Dene Ward asserts, “It’s time we older Christians stopped endorsing fairy tales. It’s time we told it like it is. Life can be hard and it doesn’t necessarily mean you are at fault. Even when you are at fault, it doesn’t mean you are worse than anyone else, no matter what image others try to present.”
  • The Scriptures have a good deal to say about the danger of idolatry. “But,” Gary Henry asks, “is it really the practical problem today that it was in ancient times?”
  • Clay Gentry suggests, “If those of old had not received their commendation based on their faith (Heb 11:2), then Hebrews 11 would have read very differently. Rather than being the Hall-of-Fame of Faith, it would be the Hall-of-Shame of the Faithless.”

June 21, 2012 — Leave a comment

Before Birth, Dad’s ID, The New York Times (6/20/12)

It is an uncomfortable question that, in today’s world, is often asked by expectant mothers who had more than one male partner at the time they became pregnant. Who is the father?

With more than half of births to women under 30 now out of wedlock, it is a question that may arise more often.

Now blood tests are becoming available that can determine paternity as early as the eighth or ninth week of pregnancy, without an invasive procedure that could cause a miscarriage.

What About Abortion?

March 31, 2010 — 3 Comments

On January 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade was decided by the United States Supreme Court.   It endures as one of the most controversial and politically significant cases in U.S. history.   Since 1973, approximately 50 million abortions have been performed in the United States.
