The Fuss About Gay Marriage is about the Children

By -

Country and western singing icon and outspoken Christian Cary Underwood was recently criticized in on-line posts for her support of gay marriage. In an interview she said "any two people who love each other ought to be able to get married." While I disagree with Miss Underwood, I can appreciate how she comes to her conclusion. The church has neglected to teach a biblical view of human sexuality and marriage, and many millennial Christians would say much the same thing if asked. One of the reasons the courts have opened the way for gay marriage is that the Christian church has failed to model or to teach biblical marriage.  Some churches have even asserted that loving people the way Christ loves requires that we open the way for gays to marry. The Roman Catholic Church is considering a more open position on homosexuality. Miss Underwood's statement reveals a  misunderstanding of  the role of love and romance in marriage. The church needs to distinguish between Christi...

Outsider Candidates are GOP's Last Best Hope

By -
I am not a Trump supporter, at least not yet. If the decision were mine alone I would give the nomination to another candidate; on the other hand, neither am I one who is wringing my hands waiting for him to drop out of the race. If Trump gets the nomination I will vote for him. We could do a lot worse. Trump is the healthiest thing for the party since the nomination of Teddy Roosevelt.  It is becoming more and more evident to me that Trump may actually be the nominee. I agree with much of what Trump says. I  like most of what he says, and I love the way he says it. It is about time someone told the truth. The one thing that distinguishes Trump and the outsider candidates, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, is that they understand  that the fundamental quality of leadership is credibility.  I would vote for any one of them in a heartbeat over any of the democrats or the moderate Republicans like Bush, Christie, Pitaki, Gilmore and Kaisich, or the amnesty advocates like R...

Can Christians Support Legal Exceptions for Abortion? (Part One)

By -
  On January 24, 2022 the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) announced it's decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization. Their  announcement follows: “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” This decision ended, probably permanently, federal protection of the right of a woman to have an abortion without limits or restriction. It left abortion to the discretion of the states in accord with the 9th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This decision came down even though the brief of the decision had been leaked to the media more than a month earlier.  The leak which had come from someone in one of the justices' offices gave a prelude to how polarizing this decision would be. The justices' homes were picketed in an a...
