Liberals scream “right to privacy,” but seem to throw that euphemism out the window when they demand that taxpayers pay for their birth control (Obama announced this week that we’d all been drafted into the War on Unprotected Sex) and abortion (Planned Parenthood is government-funded), and sanctify any sexual relationship they choose to engage in that day. Liberals suggest that they aren’t pro-abortion — they just want it to be “safe, legal and rare.” If they want it to be safe and legal, they clearly don’t want it to be rare, and the numbers show it: nearly 55 million abortions since Roe. If liberals hadn’t been quite so concerned about keeping abortion safe and legal, they’d have an entire generation of youngsters ready to support their enormous entitlement state. Instead, they have millions of morally-scarred young women justifying the mass murder of the unborn. -Patriot Post
“Whither is humanity? cried the Madman. I will tell you. We have killed it. We are its murderers! But how could we do this? Are we not plunging continually? How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?” … And what if the Madman were to survey the world today? Would he not would cry out, “Humanity is dead!” Yes, and he would ask, “Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying humanity? Do we smell nothing as yet of the human decomposition?” And he might again conclude that his time is not yet. … To be human is to be rational and aware, to have at least a measure of freedom, to be more than an animal, more than a machine. Your naturalism would deny that. Your naturalism seeks to disown free will in humans, without which humanness is less than a shell of itself, and genuine humanity is eliminated. -Thinking Christian
I was doing everything I could, everything I knew how to do. But it wasn’t enough. It seemed so easy for others. As far as I could tell, they were teaching the same lessons, singing the same songs, and planning the same events. But their ministries were so much more effective: packed meetings, thriving small groups, huge mission trips, changed lives. They were getting it done. … We live in a five-talent world. Bigger is better. And the person (or church) with “more” has greater value or significance. If you doubt, just look at the list of Christian best-sellers and the lineup of speakers at the next big conference. How many of them pastor churches with fewer than 100 members? (Which, by the way, would describe more than half the churches in America.) No, we want to hear from five-talent pastors, those who have been blessed with more. That can be very frustrating if you’re a two-talent Christian. -Transformed
