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

What if Modern Missional Celebrity Pastors Had Existed in the Early Church?

A satire

Written by Andy Webb | Monday, September 9, 2013

I‘ve often wondered what it would have sounded like if they’d had the modern “missional” celebrity pastors in the early church, and how they would have handled issues like Roman pressure to compromise on the Lordship of Christ or the exclusivity of Christianity. I sense it might have gone something like this: Archaeologists working in... Continue Reading

When Facts Offend

The world has made it clear that even if we work to make accommodations, to agree to disagree, and to attempt to coexist with the modern world, none of it will be good enough.

Written by Brian Miller | Monday, September 9, 2013

Several weeks ago, a lesbian couple in Gosport, England, took their son to St. Mary’s Anglican Church to be baptized. The retired Rev. Gebaur was officiating services while the parish looked for a new priest and expressed a willingness to perform the baptism. All seemed well until the Rev. asked the couple who “the mother”...

A New Direction – An Alternative to the Boys Scouts

Organizers of a Christian alternative to the Boy Scouts unveil their program

Written by Warren Cole Smth | Sunday, September 8, 2013

“First of all, we’re not an anti-BSA organization,” Stemberger said. “We’re not an anti-anything organization. We honor the legacy of the Boy Scouts of America and the contributions it has made to us and our families. The men and boys we have left behind are not our opponents. They are our brothers and our friends.... Continue Reading

Distractions from Orthodoxy

As a distinct institution, the church proclaims, preserves, and propagates special revelation-what God has revealed in Scripture

Written by T. David Gordon | Sunday, September 8, 2013

How many missionaries, home or foreign, might have been sent out with the monies expended to study such issues as women in the military or the length of the creation days? Vigorous, informed theological discussion is healthy for the church, and I have myself participated in it from time to time. But not every discussion... Continue Reading

Missional or Confessional

Spiritual gifts and missiology in a post-Christian context based on 1 Peter

Written by Eowyn Stoddard | Sunday, September 8, 2013

In the evangelical and reformed world, there is often a wedge driven between so called emerging missional churches that preach a “go and be” message and confessional ordinary means of grace churches that have a “come and see” philosophy. These two entrenched camps usually end up launching grenades at each other across the theological divide... Continue Reading

FBC Oxford, Miss., Members Apologize For 1968 Vote Banning Black Members

In July, the First Baptist congregation approved the apology, over 600 members voting in favor and only four against

Written by Riley Manning, Daily Journal | Sunday, September 8, 2013

“There was kind of this collective decision to forget,” Hankins said. “The question is, ‘What is our responsibility for the past?’ Sure it happened a long time ago, before we were here, but it was still hurtful and sinful. It was clearly wrong and needed to be put right.”… As they strategized over how to... Continue Reading

Christus Victor Revisited

The Christus Victor theme is being presented by some as an alternative to the substitutionary view of the atonement

Written by Willaim B. Evans | Sunday, September 8, 2013

As Christians we are redeemed from both the guilt of sin and the power of sin.  It seems to me that we desperately need theological language that enables us not only to describe that glorious transition from wrath to grace in justification, but also to denominate the sanctifying transformation that takes place within us, and...

Ignoring Wisdom Puts the Great “I” in Charge

Even small things need to be done with wisdom

Written by Miriam Gautier | Sunday, September 8, 2013

Before Dr. Fletcher left the exam room he stopped, turned his head, looked at me and said emphatically, “If you remove wallpaper or paint again you need to use a mask.” Two weeks later I scraped, caulked and painted the last room in the house that needed painting and I wore a mask. I did... Continue Reading
