Teresa Scanlan, Miss America 2011, Finds Fit At Conservative Patrick Henry College

Former Miss America thrives on being just another student

Written by Matthew Barakat | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

“There’s this idea that we don’t struggle with the same problems, that we don’t understand real world problems … that everyone comes from wonderful, happy families, that we’re close-minded and brainwashed. That kind of pushes my buttons,” she said.   It’s a startling contrast to some observers – the glamorous, bikini-clad Miss America from 2011,... Continue Reading

Anti-Sharia Bill Passed In North Carolina Without Governor Pat McCrory’s Signature

North Carolina is the seventh state to prohibit its judges from considering Islamic law

Written by Omar Sacirbey | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

“The intent behind this law is bigoted and it is intended to alienate the Muslim community,” said Jibril Hough, a spokesman for the Islamic Center of Charlotte. The North Carolina ban is limited to family law; bans in other states are broader, applying to commercial law, contract law and other types of laws.   (RNS)... Continue Reading

Biblical Counseling and the Sufficiency of Scripture

“Is the Bible sufficient for people with physical problems?”

Written by David Murray | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

First, take the area of ordering our affections. I totally agree with the authors, that we have responsibility to exercise faith in God’s Word in a way that re-orders our affections, and that the Bible is an incredibly powerful  force for good in this area. However, even if we didn’t have the benefit of all... Continue Reading

Hebrew Worship and the Surrounding Culture

While similarities exist, Hebrew worship was inspired by Divine Revelation

Written by Scott Aniol | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

I would argue that the items of similarities (e.g., temple, priests, altars, sacrifices, etc.) were established by God in the Creation-Fall narrative and thus were in the consciousness of all people as various civilizations evolved over time. Israel’s worship practices were explicit codifications of elements that had been already established in the beginning, and other... Continue Reading

Is Some Sexual Activity Wrong?

No one can reasonably argue that the New Testament is indifferent toward sexual sin

Written by Kevin DeYoung | Monday, September 9, 2013

Sexual activity cannot run wherever it pleases. Our sexual desires have no right to satiated without limit. As we have seen, our sexual appetite and our sexual fulfillment are less important than protecting the weak, keeping our word, and loving our neighbor. The first step in having a rational, thoughtful conversation about the rightness and... Continue Reading

Preaching with Authority: Three Characteristics of Expository Preaching

If we have no authoritative message, why preach?

Written by Albert Mohler | Monday, September 9, 2013

In the final analysis, the ultimate authority for preaching is the authority of the Bible as the word of God. Without this authority, the preacher stands naked and silent before the congregation and the watching world. If the Bible is not the word of God, the preacher is involved in an act of self-delusion or... Continue Reading

Respect? That’s My Son’s Job

I’m annoyed that all the preaching to “keep a boy’s mind pure” seems to be aimed at girls. Because that’s my sons’ job.

Written by Amy Courts | Monday, September 9, 2013

All this talk of how girls should dress “for boys” (to protect their eyes, to help them not to stumble, etc etc etc) perpetuates the lie that women exist for men – for their pleasure, for their protection, etc – rather than for the God who loves them and created them fearfully and wonderfully with...

We Are Making a Difference (even if Bill Evans Can’t See)

Christians have always lived in pessimistic times. That’s the nature of being aliens and exiles.

Written by Darryl Hart | Monday, September 9, 2013

And that is why Evans does not seem to be able to recognize that 2kers do want and try to make a difference in this world. The difference is what constitutes difference. 2kers are not impressed, the way Evans appears to be, with political engagement or attempts to win the culture war. 2kers, in fact, know...

The Case That Destroyed Marriage

The 1976 California Supreme Court case, Marvin v. Marvin

Written by Wesley J. Smith, First Things | Monday, September 9, 2013

I’m sorry, but legalizing same-sex marriage won’t do a thing to rescue marriage. But then, neither will its rejection. A marriage renaissance will only be possible when we repudiate Marvin v. Marvin and revitalize marriage’s importance by returning to a strict policy mandating that couples actually get married before acquiring conjugal rights.   How did marriage lose... Continue Reading

I Don’t Remember Chemistry And I’m Not Homeless

Don’t feel guilty for falling short of your own unrealistic, extra-biblical standards.

Written by Stephen Altrogge | Monday, September 9, 2013

Is it just me or is there a lot of pressure on parents to provide their children with the absolute perfect environment for growth? We are told that our children need to be breast fed, need listen to classical music, need to be able to read by age four, need to play sports, need to... Continue Reading
