Drafting Women: Long-term Cultural Consequences

23/05/2016 21/09/2016 Life & Society

Lost in the latest egalitarian nonsense about drafting women to serve in the military are two concerns I have about the long-term impact on us as a culture. Aside from the scientific arguments about weakening our fighting force, valid though they are, and the complete collapse of principles by so many on what used to be the ideological right, two glaring concerns remain with drafting women to serve in the military: Our society needs mothers who are not trained killers. Men..

A Message for High Schoolers and Everyone Else Too: Find Your Happiness in Christ

23/05/2016 21/09/2016 Thoughts

Last year I had the privilege of talking to a group of high schoolers about happiness. I love young people and enjoy spending time with them, so it was a pleasure to bring them a message I feel is of utmost importance for people of all ages. When I was 15 years old, I came to faith in Christ. I discovered that a lot of my unhappiness had been due to my sin and separation from God, and that when I came into a relationship with Jesus, my life was infused with a happiness I’d never felt before. Now..

What Happened at the United Methodist General Conference 2016?

23/05/2016 23/05/2016 Between Two Worlds

Timothy Tennent, a United Methodist who is president of Asbury Theological Seminary (with roots firmly planted in Wesleyan soil), reflects upon the recent general conference for the United Methodists. Here is an excerpt: In the past the system managed to work reasonably well because, despite the numbers, there was a broad agreement concerning the gospel, the Wesleyan message, and there was, frankly, more integrity about covenant keeping. All of that is gone today. The church is left without lea..

Certainty

Today we end our study of Galatians 4:1–7 with the final verse: “So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.” In this passage we see a change from the plural (“sons” in v. 6) to the singular “a son.” Paul brings his argument down from an address to the Galatians in general, to individuals in particular. The doctrine of God’s adopting grace is deeply personal. In this passage God is making eye contact with you! He is looking into your eyes because he wants y..

Battle for the Truth

23/05/2016 22/09/2016 Anne Graham Lotz

May 23, 2016 …Fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience… 1 Timothy 1:18-19 In promoting The Daniel Prayer in multiple radio, TV, web and print interviews, I have urged people to pray as Daniel prayed so that Heaven is moved and our nation is changed. I have felt an urgency to warn people that if we continue to abandon God and His moral principles, He will abandon us. He will remove His hand of blessing and favor and protection, and give us over to ourselves. The hope is t..

A Tiny Seed, A Tiny Deed

22/05/2016 21/09/2016 Hope

The Bible says: Do not despise small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin... (Zechariah 4:10). But somewhere deep inside us, our own voice of doubt mocks us: I see what others have done with their lives and before I even get started — I'm discouraged. What can I possibly do that God isn't already doing through someone else? Against a towering giant, a brook pebble seems futile. But God used it to topple Goliath. Compared to the tithes of the wealthy, a widow's c..

‘The Angry Birds Movie’ is a volatile pun fest

21/05/2016 05/07/2016 Entertainment

That the Word of the Lord May Speed Ahead

20/05/2016 08/09/2016 Albert Mohler Blog

Paul yearns to see the Word of God, the gospel of Christ, race across the world, knowing that the Day of the Lord is coming, when there will be no more days left to preach. If you want to know what people really believe, the philosopher Roger Scruton once explained, listen to them pray. It is one thing to ask a person what he believes, but it is another thing to listen to him pray. Prayers reveal the underlying theology. As the old Latin formula reminds us, Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi — As we pray, so we believe. I think we can safely take Roger Scruton’s point one step further. We learn a great deal about someone by what they ask others to pray for. That point draws me to the Apostle Paul, and to his prayer requests as found in 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5. “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered fr..

A love that restores

Isaiah chapter 61 promises that the Lord will provide comfort for those who mourn and restore broken lives with “a crown of beauty instead of ashes.” Both Beckie and Barbara Jean’s hearts had been deeply wounded by abuse and shame. Discover how their lives were transformed through Jesus Christ and how they found healing and freedom from the past.

Walker Percy’s 1981 Letter to the New York Times on the Con and Doublespeak of the Abortion Discussion

19/05/2016 06/08/2016 Between Two Worlds

A letter from Walker Percy (1916-1990) printed on June 8, 1981, in the New York Times: Covington, La. — I feel like saying something about this abortion issue. My credentials as an expert on the subject: none. I am an M.D. and a novelist. I will speak only as a novelist. If I give an opinion as an M.D., it wouldn’t interest anybody since, for one thing, any number of doctors have given opinions and who cares about another. The only obvious credential of a novelist has to do with his trade. He ..
