A Year of Consequences for Military Chaplains

Since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” chaplains have come under fire while some lawmakers are ready to move on

Written by Edward Lee Pitts, WNS | Saturday, September 22, 2012

The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty (CARL), which represents more than 2,000 chaplains serving the armed forces, said it is cataloging examples of negative consequences that have resulted from the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.     One year after the military began allowing gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members to...

Exclusive Brethren GP Banned for Prescribing Gay ‘Cure’

Doctor prescribed chemical castration to a young man who sought a ''cure'' for homosexuality

Written by Louise Hall | Friday, September 21, 2012

In a letter of complaint to the Health Care Complaints Commission, the patient said when, at the age of 18 he came out as gay, a church leader told him, ”there’s medication you can go on”. ”He recommended that I speak to Dr Craddock on the matter with a view to my being placed on...

Pastors Pledge to Defy IRS, Preach Politics From Pulpit Ahead of Election

“The purpose is to make sure that the pastor -- and not the IRS -- decides what is said from the pulpit."

Written by Cristina Corbin, FoxNews | Friday, September 21, 2012

Stanley said pastors attending the Oct. 7 “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” will “preach sermons that will talk about the candidates running for office” and then “make a specific recommendation.” The sermons will be recorded and sent to the IRS.     More than 1,000 pastors are planning to challenge the IRS next month by deliberately preaching...

Why Do We Work?

Today’s culture provides a much different narrative of work than what we read in scripture

Written by Anne Bradley | Thursday, September 20, 2012

We need to focus on our gifts, understand ourselves, and prayerfully seek discernment from Christ in our lives. This is how we are to best steward our scarce resources, the most scarce being our time. It also means that we can derive value, fulfillment and happiness from our work. The scriptures are clear that not... Continue Reading

Seven Common Comments Non-Christians Make About Christians

Non-Christians want to interact with Christians. They want to see Christians' actions match their beliefs. They want Christians to be real

Written by Thom Rainer, Christian Post | Wednesday, September 19, 2012

In one study we conducted, we found that only five percent of non-Christians are antagonistic toward Christians. It's time to stop believing the lies we have been told. Jesus said it clearly: "The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest" (Luke10:2, HCSB).

Text intrusion

Services bypass parents to answer teen queries about sexuality and contraception

Written by Daniel James Devine | Tuesday, September 18, 2012

The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina launched it in 2009 and later expanded it to Texas, South Carolina, and Maryland. “Health educators” offer “nonjudgmental” advice and information about dating, puberty, anatomy, slang terms, and birth control.       It’s bad enough that organizations like Planned Parenthood give teenage girls pro-abortion counsel at their clinics:...

A more religious world

“Europe no longer dominates global Christianity the way it did 100 years ago,”

Written by David Ignatius, Washington Post | Sunday, September 16, 2012

Younger Muslims are less committed to their faith than those older than 35, but only slightly. In Egypt, for example, 74 percent of younger Muslims say that religion is very important in their lives, compared with 76 percent of their elders. And Muslim women in most regions appear more committed to religion than men, more likely to pray and more likely to read or listen to the Koran daily.

Mennonites: we are willing to die rather than betray girl to court-appointed lesbian ‘mother’

Pastor already been convicted of helping Lisa Miller and Isabella to flee

Written by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman, LifeSiteNews | Saturday, September 15, 2012

“The fact is that suddenly we find ourselves having to choose between obeying God and man made laws,” they write. “We have chosen to obey God. We are willing to give up our rights, go to jail, or even die, for the cause of helping anyone become free from a sinful life and helping that person to live in obedience to God’s Word.”

I Don’t Wait Anymore

Waiting for the right reason

Written by Grace for the Word | Thursday, September 13, 2012

I lived like I was waiting for something. And that’s why I slipped off my ring that day. It wasn’t that I wanted to sleep with people – I haven’t. It wasn’t a slap to True Love Waits, or to anyone who wears a purity ring – saving sex for marriage is good and is... Continue Reading

Who Can Teach Leadership?

It is not so much about familiarity with business as it is about trust

Written by Gianpiero Petriglieri | Thursday, September 13, 2012

You will walk into a room as the designated leader….You will need to gain the trust of a group that includes members with whom you may have little in common. Someone may ask what makes you think you can lead. Do not resent them for it….Whatever you may have done before, what matters most is... Continue Reading
