To Those Who Are Afraid After the Election…
I’ve noticed that posts and comments since election day have been only mildly less vitriol than before the election. The difference now, however, is that instead of warnings about the damage so-and-so would cause the country if he or she is elected, they now revolve around what seems to be a personal fear about what […]
And the Best Candidate is . . .
Based on many of the Facebook posts that I see, it appears that many people are either choosing their candidates solely on the basis of their party or else because they despise the opposing candidate so much. Others have latched onto one issue and are choosing the candidate they’re going to vote for based on […]
Obamacare vs. Religious Freedom
One of the major areas of concern about Obamacare, at least for people of faith, is the requirement that businesses of a certain size must provide, through their insurance, certain aspects of “health coverage” that are contrary to their religious beliefs. Strictly religious organizations (i.e. churches, synagogues, mosques) are exempt from this requirement but “businesses” that […]
The Crisis of a Second Obama Administration George Weigel
Here’s a good article for my “thinking” readers, from the Archdiocese of Denver website (linked to by Juicy Ecumenism). While written as a consideration of the Roman Catholic crisis it is equally applicable to Protestants. We face/will face many of the same concerns as the Roman Catholic Church. Instead of sitting back and letting the Roman Catholics […]
Election Results and the Church
The commentators and pundits are still trying to explain what happened Tuesday (I’ve yet to listen to any of them!). About half of Americans are celebrating while the other half are discouraged. Some feel like things are hopeless for America and that we are doomed, while others feel that President Obama will lead America to […]
Abortion: Is it the worse sin?
Abortion is sin. There is no doubt about it. Just a few days after conception, the baby’s heart is pumping blood through its body. You can see fingers and toes forming, you can hear the heart beat. Yet, these babies are considered just a “mass of flesh” by the abortionists. “Scripture seems to teach that […]
Is murder OK as long as my taxes are lower?
I’m really surprised by some of the posts that I read, especially as we get closer to the elections. My biggest surprise is from those who are Christians who say that they are voting for President Obama (or any other Democratic candidate). My surprise is not because I think that President Obama (or any other Democratic) is a bad person. It’s not […]
Abortion and October Baby
This weekend I finally had the opportunity to watch October Baby. If you haven’t seen it, it’s the story of a woman who lived through an abortion and in her late teens found out about it. The movie follows her search for meaning and love as she tracks down her biological mother only to be […]
When does life begin?
I’ve been thinking about this question, “when does life begin,” and have my own answer, based on the Bible. In researching it, though, I came across a website that discusses it from a medical/biological view. I offer it here without my commentary or edit. It has quotes interspersed that were part of the webpage. It […]
Abortion and President Obama
Well, it didn’t take long for president Obama to wipe away one of the protections of unborn life that President bush (re) established after President Clinton wiped it away after President Reagan established it–that is the cutting off of federal funding for international organizations that offer abortions or discuss it as an alternative. It’s not […]
