Male and Female — Incomprehensible?

Language is changing the way culture looks at sexuality

Written by Peter Jones | Thursday, August 16, 2012

The sharp contours of our future are coming into focus—a future inhospitable to Christian truth. The literature and language of the two-thousand-year-old “Christian” civilization, which assumed the normative male/female distinctions, will become homophobically unspeakable, culturally silenced and legally prohibited.     Hakuna Matata, “don’t worry”: same-sex marriage will not harm ordinary marriage. But way back... Continue Reading

Keeping the Faith on Campus: Students at Secular Schools Face More Than Academic Challenges

New students facing challenges and temptations as they enter college.

Written by Anna Harris, WNS | Thursday, August 16, 2012

Robinson felt like he was floating in a pool of secularism. After struggling to resist the culture around him, he finally had what he described as a “religious breakdown.” “I called home and told my mom I thought I was losing Jesus,” he said.     (WNS) — Shaquille Robinson grew up in a strong Christian...

Is It OK for a Christian to vote for Mitt Romney?

Why [are] people who have been theocratic Reconstructionists for longer than some of these guys have been alive…willing to support him now?

Written by James B. Jordan | Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Yet, who cares? Let’s stay home and let the country burn to the ground. Let’s stay home and not vote, trusting like fools that King Jesus will actually honor our manipulations and do a miracle for us. No guys. I don’t think Jesus likes being manipulated.

Is It True Jesus Never Addressed Same Sex Marriage?

The gospel changes us so that now we are enabled to do not what we want, but what God wants.

Written by Daniel Akin, SEBTS | Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Listen to these tender words of the Savior, “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” This is the hope that is found in Jesus. This is the hope found in the gospel. Whether one is guilty of heterosexual or homosexual sin, one will find grace, forgiveness and freedom at the foot of the cross where the ground is always level.

Education’s effect on religion

The single most important factor regarding belief change was religious practice as an teenager:

Written by Nicholas C. DiDonato, Science on Religion | Tuesday, August 14, 2012

As so often happens, truth is stranger than fiction. While thinkers from the Enlightenment onwards expected education to cause a decrease in religion, history and science have told a much more complex story. Such thinkers may not like the results of Hill’s empirical study, but what can they do? After all, they’re the ones who claim to trust science.

Sex in movies influences teens’ behavior, study confirms

"All of the camera angles and multiple scene changes and special effects are almost like an unfair advantage influencing the lives of children"

Written by Erin Roach, Baptist Press | Monday, August 13, 2012

Exposure to sexual content in movies leads teenagers to have sex earlier and to participate in riskier sexual behavior, a study has confirmed, leading researchers to suggest incorporating media literacy training into sexual education.

British Prime Minister warned over expanding Sunday trading laws

Allowing shops to open for longer would be a “major breach of trust”

Written by Rowena Mason, The Telegraph(UK) | Monday, August 13, 2012

“A permanent change would harm small traders, workers' rights, and further damage relations between the Church and the Government. I will not support the move". The temporary relaxation was only was approved by the House of Commons on the condition that it would not be permanent.

HHS mandate: An attack on all people of faith

We must be free to put our faith into action in the public square.

Written by Matthew C. Harrison and Samuel Rodriquez, Washington Post | Sunday, August 12, 2012

For the first time in our country’s history, we will have to impose religious tests on those we employ and those we help, in order to maintain our status as exempt religious employers.

Mark Regnerus’s Gay-Parenting Study Starts a Political War

Study: Those who have parents in same-sex relationships face negative long-term consequences in employment, relationship stability, and mental health.

Written by David Sessions | Sunday, August 12, 2012

LGBT activists and conservatives are sparring over a new study that says children of married straight parents have better lives than those with gay parents. But its flaws mean it’s unlikely to shift the debate over gay parenting.     A blockbuster new study that claims to upend the conventional wisdom on gay parenting has quickly become...

The Problem with ‘Incarnational Ministry’

What if our mission is not to 'be Jesus' to other cultures, but to join with the Holy Spirit?

Written by J. Todd Billings | Sunday, August 12, 2012

It’s important to offer a ministry of presence to those in need. But when the gospel is reduced to identifying with others, the uniqueness of Christ’s incarnation becomes an afterthought.     In recent decades, scores of books, manuals, and websites advocating “incarnational ministry” have encouraged Christians to move beyond ministry at a distance and...
