Basics of the Reformed Faith 1 – In the Beginning–God

Written by Kim Riddlebarger | Wednesday, July 13, 2011

The Bible opens with a remarkable statement in Genesis 1:1– “In the Beginning, God…” This simple assertion is packed with meaning. Some of the most fundamental truths of the Christian faith are found in this short declaration, and it is important to give them due consideration. The first thing this passage tells us is that...

Parakh Hoon, assistant professor of Political Science at Virginia Tech, said, in an interview with The Christian Post, “Southern Sudan will need similar support of the international community to rebuild its human and physical infrastructure, which will take several decades.

Take a Stand Against Rand – The religious left finds a real wedge issue

Written by Marvin Olasky | Friday, July 8, 2011

But Ryan and others, if they want support from Christians, cannot merely react to the left’s criticism with a shrug: They should show what in Rand they agree with and what they spurn. The GOP’s big tent should include both libertarians and Christians, but not anti-Christians. For nearly a decade Democrats have sought a religious... Continue Reading

Christian Hipsters and Economics

Written by Elise Amyx | Friday, July 8, 2011

Though the Christian hipster culture might not have a definitive doctrinal theology or a sound economic philosophy, they do have a deep passion for the poor and the desire to live out the Gospel. As Christians, the question is not if we should care for the poor, but how to care for the poor. Anarchist... Continue Reading

More Perfect Unions – What the Future Might Hold because of Gay Marriage

Written by Ross Douthat | Wednesday, July 6, 2011

A successful marital culture depends not only on a general ideal of love and commitment, but on specific promises, exclusions and taboos. And the less specific and more inclusive an institution becomes, the more likely people are to approach it casually, if they enter it at all. In 44 states, the future of gay marriage...

The Presbyterian Rebellion

Written by Steve Salyards | Wednesday, July 6, 2011

American Presbyterians frequently circulate the claim that King George III of England referred to the American Revolution as a “Presbyterian War.” Several years ago I set out to find the original source from which the quote is taken since I was curious about the context in which the king made this statement — if indeed...

On Listening to Thin Lizzy (and reading Frank Schaeffer)

Written by Carl Trueman | Wednesday, July 6, 2011

As I read Frank Schaeffer’s latest book, I kept hearing the sound of Thin Lizzy’s `The Boys Are Back In Town’ playing in my head. Why, I wondered, was I being haunted at this moment by the track that must have been the theme tune of every teenage male wannabe in Britain in the early... Continue Reading

Most Americans Still Prefer Traditional Marriage – New survey shows that wording of question matters

Written by Jaclyn Martin, WNS | Saturday, July 2, 2011

According to Heritage Foundation research, marriage between a man and a woman provide benefits to children and society that can’t be found elsewhere. Where marriage breaks down, rises in unwed childbirth and government dependency follow. A recent poll sponsored by the Alliance Defense Fund asked 1,500 American adults if they agreed with the following statement:... Continue Reading
