Abortion Clinics Closing at Record Rate

Reasons vary, but the trend is clear

Written by Tom Strode, Baptist Press | Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Sullenger said in a written statement, “We do anticipate an increase in the number of abortion clinics as new laws are enacted and inspections increase. Enforcement of laws on the books has always been the key. We simply have never found an abortion clinic that complies with the law on all points.   For Abby... Continue Reading

Happy Birthday Dear

"She was not cheated of her due, but blessed beyond measure."

Written by R.C. Sproul Jr. | Tuesday, September 17, 2013

Denise did not get three score and ten. She did not even get 48 years. As such it is a temptation for me to consider all that we have lost. I look at my children, especially our youngest who was just a year old when she was diagnosed with cancer, barely two when she died,... Continue Reading

Richard Dawkins’ (Hypocritical) Defense of “Mild Pedophilia”

Dawkins has faced another round of criticism for his comments that he thinks sex abuse scandals are overhyped

Written by Alexander Griswold | Monday, September 16, 2013

Dawkins explains that as a child, he was sexually molested by one of his teachers, as were some of his classmates. “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm,” he explains. Dawkins odd stance ironically led him to defend the Catholic Church, minimizing the sex-abuse scandal that they faced: “Although I’m no friend... Continue Reading

Colorado businessman wins latest victory against contraceptive mandate

The Justice Department has 45 days to appeal the preliminary injunction order entered in Briscoe’s favor

Written by Sarah Padbury, WNS | Sunday, September 15, 2013

Briscoe is just one of 200 business owners, religious companies, social service organizations, and colleges suing the federal government over the contraceptive mandate. According to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, one of the legal groups representing several cases, 29 of the 32 for-profit organizations that have filed suit against the government secured temporary relief...

What I Wish I Said

Confessions of a traumatized father upon sending his first child to college

Written by Michael L. Johnson | Saturday, September 14, 2013

I tried summoning up some words of wisdom, or even something profound to say. It’s not like this moment caught me (an admittedly slow learner) by surprise. “This is it,” I thought, heaving a weary sigh instead of taking a deep manly breath. “Better make this count.”   It finally happened. Last week, standing beside... Continue Reading

Superman Pastors Are Bound to Fail

Many pastors have learned and practiced a deficient model of leadership in the last century: the Superman model

Written by David Dunham | Thursday, September 12, 2013

Pastors cannot micromanage every detail of every ministry in their church. My congregation can’t serve well or grow and develop if I interject every time I think I could offer better counsel or oversight. As Jesus sent out the twelve in Matthew 10, so also we need to be willing to release our people for... Continue Reading

How many times have we offended God with poor choices and he loved us regardless of the motivation behind them?

Written by Joseph May | Thursday, September 12, 2013

I think of how many times I have offended God with my poor choices regardless of my motivation behind making them. But He never left my side. He was not pleased with my actions but He stayed with me through my illness of sin. God would not leave my side because I was His son... Continue Reading

Parental Knowledge: Where Are My Blind Spots?

Kids who learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are 50 percent less likely to use drugs and alcohol than those who do not

Written by Gary L. Welton | Wednesday, September 11, 2013

Perhaps it is those parents who have established good relationships with their teens who find it easier to speak with them about drug use. These parents see very positive results, not because they dialogued about alcohol, but because they had already established positive relationships. Are the good results dependent upon the dialogue or on the... Continue Reading

C. Darby Fulton: A Christian Statesman

Fulton was widely typified as a Christian statesman

Written by Wayne Sparkman | Wednesday, September 11, 2013

Fulton was widely typified as a Christian statesman. One way in which he demonstrated that quality of character was in the fact that, while he did not choose to come into the Presbyterian Church in America at its formation in 1973, he nonetheless was quite willing to bring a message during the PCA’s first General...

‘Batwoman’ Co-Authors Exit, Claim DC ‘Prohibited’ Lesbian Marriage

Authors cite creative differences with DC Comics

Written by Lesley Goldberg | Tuesday, September 10, 2013

The news comes after February’s groundbreaking 17th issue of the Batwoman, in which Kate proposed to her girlfriend, Maggie Sawyer. It marked the first lesbian wedding proposal in the history of mainstream comics. Since its start, the series has been a champion for gay rights, foreshadowing the overturn of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Batwomanalso represents DC’s latest exploration... Continue Reading
