No, not John Piper, although he is worthy of our support as a great man of God. Today, my mind is on Piper Palin. Maybe if we all remember that sweet little girl licking her hand to fix baby Trig's wayward hair at the Republican convention we will be a bit more cheerful today and... Continue Reading →
Reformation Rap
Happy Reformation Day to all. Our church had a fantastic Reformation Fest, including coverage from the Louisville Courier Journal. Anyway, to celebrate Reformation Day, click on this link for the 95 Theses Rap.
Is Obama OK?
There is a common line going around that it is OK for pro-life people to vote for Obama (even though he favors taxpayer funded abortion on demand and has even been in favor of allowing infanticide). The reason some say it is ok is that they figure abortion is just one of several important life... Continue Reading →
Pocketbook Politics
You probably know that I don’t think it is good to vote based on how it affects your pocketbook. At least, that isn’t the first priority. But there is a case in California that has Christians and conservatives actually voting with their pocketbooks. Read about it here...
Sanctity of Life
Dr. Gushee was the first seminary professor I heard when I visited Southern Seminary long, long ago, seeking the Lord’s will for my call to the ministry. Though I haven’t always agreed with him since, I have often been encouraged by his writing. He has a good article here which mentions, among other things, the... Continue Reading →
Smith and Wolf Good Job
Two Republican congressmen have done the right thing in calling for Secretary of State Rice to take action against the mistreatment of Christians in China. Particularly in view here is Pastor Bike's family. China Aid Association documents the matter on their website. It is worth checking out and voicing your support. With all the political...

Choice Is Abandonment
I link a blog here which describes two different stories concerning our pro-choice culture. In the one story, a woman dies after drinking anti-freeze. In the other story, a man loses his arm. In both stories, the medical community is unsure of how to respond to people in need. It seems the freedom to choose... Continue Reading →
Abortion and the Election
Couple Dr. Mohler's insight with Professor George's research, and you get a very helpful blog for understanding both abortion and this election. Read the blog here.
Husband Kills Wife
This article tells the story of a many who murdered his wife. There is a consistent pattern at work here with abortion. I think it shows in the deplorable decision handed down by this judge. This is murder, plain and simple. This is atrocious, and it shows just where we are headed in terms of... Continue Reading →
Slight Detour Worth Considering
Professor Robbie George of Princeton writes a lucid and scathing review of Barack Obama’s record on abortion and concludes that one cannot be pro-life and pro-Obama without blatant hypocrisy. Read his article here…
Impact of Abortion
Blacks and the impact of abortion Dr. Alveda King here and Bishop Harry Jackson here have spoken out against abortion because of the way that it affects the African American population. These two outspoken opponents of abortion are not completely off-base in asserting a black genocide as a result of abortion. When one researches... Continue Reading →
Abortion Causing Cancer
Well, no, we cannot say that abortion causes cancer. However, there is some evidence which indicates that abortion increases risk of breast cancer. I have linked an article here which describes some of the psychological, social, and medical ill effects of abortion. From the article: In contrast to full term birth, induced abortion does not...

Abortion Cutting Crime?
There are those who argue that the fruit of abortion is good. Specifically, some argue that abortion has reduced crime. Others have demonstrated the fallacy of such claims (excellent resources here). However, the point I would like to make is that even if we accept that a reduction in crime rates is linked to abortion,... Continue Reading →
Ridiculous
A liberal Christian group going by the name of Matthew 25 has set up a website to convince people that Obama is the more pro-life candidate between the two major contenders. It would be laughable, except that it is devilishly deceptive and destructive. I do not recommend going to their site, as it would give... Continue Reading →
Value and Viability
Scientists have become rather free in their attempts to do something novel with embryonic stem cells. I am linking an article here from Dr. Jones (not the movie guy; in fact, not a guy at all), where she argues for prudence in the practice of parthenogenesis. The article is a bit technical, but it is... Continue Reading →
