The Bible doesn’t say “Join a church,” so why should I? David Schrock has a good answer:
I am convinced that church membership is spiritually advantageous and even compulsory for the believer. To say it another way, without church membership individual believers will not mature in their Christian faith, and local churches will be deficient of Spiritually-gifted members.
Christianity Today’s list of the ten most “redeeming” films of 2009:
What do we mean by “redeeming”? We mean movies that include stories of redemption—sometimes blatantly, sometimes less so. Several of our films have characters who are redeemers themselves; all of them have characters who experience redemption to some degree—some quite clearly, some more subtly. Some are “feel-good” movies that leave a smile on your face; some are a bit more uncomfortable to watch. But the redemptive element is there in all of these films.
Atlanta billboards will soon educate motorists on how abortion targets black Americans:
Catherine Davis, the minority outreach coordinator for Georgia Right to Life, defended the billboards to The New York Times, saying “The impact of abortion has become so great that it has begun to impact our fertility rate.”
“Planned Parenthood’s Negro Project is succeeding”, Davis said. “They targeted blacks in order to control their birthrate, limiting the growth of populations they ‘don’t want too many of as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed she believed was the goal behind Roe v. Wade.”
A brief word from Michael Spencer (iMonk), who is suffering with cancer:
We need to remember that each day dying people are waiting for the word of death and RESURRECTION.
The are a lot of different kinds of Good News, but there is little good news in “My argument scored more points than you argument.” But the news that “Christ is risen!” really is Good News for one kind of person: The person who is dying.
