This is an assault upon the dignity of every human being. The fact that so few Down syndrome babies now make it to birth is a sign that America is making its own pact with the Culture of Death.

A novel self-published about a year ago by William P. Young, the book has gained quite a following in Christian circles. It is still among the top ten sellers at Amazon.com. And when it receives a glowing endorsement from a scholar whom I respect, like Eugene Peterson, it is not a phenomenon that discerning Christians can ignore.

Now, let’s see whether the New Testament maintains or contradicts this teaching.

The song is called “I’m Not Who I Was” and that describes any person who has decided to put their trust in Jesus Christ. It certainly describes me. I am not who I was forty years ago or twenty years ago or even one year ago. This journey with Jesus cannot be status quo. You are either going forward or backward.

In a unique reaction, they rented billboards throughout their city to communicate to the perpetrators. I would assume the goal was a unique marketing opportunity, the chance for some sympathetic financial support, and the offer of forgiveness and reconciliation with the perpetrator. But the church may have gotten more than they bargained for, particularly from one billboard in particular: CHURCH TRAILER THIEF, Stealing from God…Ballsy.

Fri, 02 May 2008 04:55:00 GMT 11575001 Cal Thomas http://www.crosswalk.com/news/11575000/ Reports of food shortages in some parts of the world and stories about Costco and Sam’s Club limiting how much rice we can buy at their stores ought to serve as a teaching moment.

Texas officials are investigating allegations that underage girls were having sex with men to whom they were supposedly married and bearing them Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:52:00 GMT 11574999 Cal Thomas http://www.crosswalk.com/news/11574998/ After his incendiary remarks about America were splashed on YouTube and cable TV, Wright went away for a while, but now he’s back, defending himself on the ultra liberal Bill Moyer’s PBS program and speaking at black church conferences in Detroit and Washington as well as the national press club yesterday. Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:51:00 GMT 11574998 Cal Thomas http://www.crosswalk.com/news/11574997/ Nothing stinks as badly as a perishable that has exceeded its "sell-by" date.
