John Piper on homosexuality, part 2

More from Romans, with helpful biblical counsel for homosexuals and parents

Written by John Piper, WNS | Monday, April 22, 2013

I confess that my main aim in these two messages is not to persuade you that homosexual behavior is wrong. It is wrong. But you can believe that and not be a Christian. So what does it profit a man if he knows everything that’s wrong, and loses his own soul? My aim is much... Continue Reading

Infanticide: The Coming Battle

From Moloch to Philadelphia: The advent of infanticide will mean that our culture has returned to paganism

Written by Michael Bird, Patheos, Euangelion | Monday, April 22, 2013

Campaigners for infanticide will make their case in a gradual way. First, they won’t call it “infanticide” (killing infants) but “post-birth abortion.” The reasons are obvious. The word “infanticide” strikes horror into our hearts. But “post-birth abortion” makes it sound like the termination is simply an extension of abortion, which we are culturally adjusted to....

The Boston Bombing: Trying to Make Sense of the Senseless

They raised their hand against everyone and everyone's hand was raised against them

Written by Tony Felich | Monday, April 22, 2013

When the pictures of these two young brothers were broadcast, my heart sunk. The younger boy, the one still alive, is only a few years older than my son.  There he was, casually walking with his hat backwards – with a weapon of mass destruction on his back, intent on mayhem.  What hatred has filled...

Thoughts on Same-Sex Marriage, Part III: The Issue Is Civil, Not Religious

The Utah compromise proves that the question of whose unions the state will recognize is not a religious decision; it is a civil decision

Written by T. David Gordon | Sunday, April 21, 2013

I suspect the primary consideration that has motivated such a diversity of states to recognize heterosexual unions between one man and one woman is because this is the ordinary biological way in which new taxpayers (and soldiers, etc.) are created. Governments do not (yet?) have the power to create new humans to pay taxes in... Continue Reading

Foundations Crumble When God Is Ignored

What happens to any edifice when its foundation is destroyed? As Dostoevsky put it, “If there is no God, all things are permissible.”

Written by Russ Sukhia | Sunday, April 21, 2013

What we propose to do today is to legitimize that which both the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God clearly reveal to be illegitimate. We propose, as a society, to solemnize, and affirm as acceptable and appropriate, what our Creator has declared, both by natural and special revelation, to be a violation of his... Continue Reading

A Brief Reflection on the Boston Attack

Any technology can be used for evil

Written by Lee Nickles | Sunday, April 21, 2013

There may be an appropriate government/security/regulation type response to this – I won’t claim to speak to that. What I do know is that no amount of technology will stop all sinful acts.  We’re too creative for that.  More importantly, the sinful heart needs the Gospel.   I’ve followed the news of the bomb attack...

Looking Evil in the Eye

God using evil things for our good does not make the evil things less evil.

Written by Jonathan Parnell | Saturday, April 20, 2013

So in the truest sense, we look evil straight in the eye, call it evil, and say loud and clear that whatever havoc it wields, whatever pain it causes, it is permitted, not free. We tell evil it’s not the ultimate reality in the universe. There is One who is stronger. There is One who... Continue Reading

Preaching immigration reform

Evangelical leaders urge Congress to overhaul immigration system

Written by J.C. Derrick, WNS | Saturday, April 20, 2013

The pastors who spoke with me said Christians are in a good position to understand grace and what it means to have a debt forgiven. They said they aren’t advocating a free pass—as opponents of immigration reform often charge—but a way for illegal immigrants to be reconciled with the law. Gabriel Salguero, president of the...

Hipsters and Elitists versus Chain Stores

Controlling a neighborhood’s “character” for the sake of maintaining an elitist social vision does nothing but keep people from getting what they actually need.

Written by Anthony Bradley | Saturday, April 20, 2013

Have these hipsters and elites ever bothered to asked this one simple question: why are the chains coming to New York City? Here’s a clue: New York is the most expensive state in America to run a business and the city is even worse. Because of the cascade of government regulations and high rents, due... Continue Reading

Transgression: The New Conformism

Modern liberalism: Tolerant of everything except dissenting opinions

Written by Carl Trueman | Friday, April 19, 2013

The conversation also reminded me of one of the supreme ironies of the contemporary politics of homosexuality. A movement originally built upon the idea of transgression, the breaking of taboos and the crossing of boundaries has become one of the most intolerant and conformist movements ever to emerge within liberal democratic societies. The current debate... Continue Reading
