Bereans:This week's elections in several states were exceedingly disappointing. In Ohio, voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment that removes any restrictions on abortion.  This overturned several laws the state legislature had passed to protect children.  It even specifically outlaws any attempt to inform parents when a minor has an abortion. This was in a state that is very "co...  Read More

Bereans:Last week I covered some of the motives behind the left's abortion and population control agenda.  This article exposes more of the bitterness and hatred they have toward human life itself, referring to people made in God's image as "weeds."  Remember, since God is the Author and Giver of Life (John 1:4; Acts 3:15; Acts 17:25; Psalm 36:9), Satan hates all life and wants it corrupted and de...  Read More

Bereans:Those who hate God, by their very definition must hate life.  I say "by definition" because God is the author and giver of life. He is not a dead god (Psalm 135:15; Isaiah 31:7; Habakkuk 2:18-19; 1 Corinthians 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:9), but the "Living God" (Deuteronomy 6:26; Psalm 42:2; Jeremiah 10:10; Daniel 6:26; Matthew 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Hebrews 10:31).  Satan, and those who ...  Read More

Bereans,This Resurrection Day weekend, we are faced with the cold reality that our nation and society are turning farther away from the gospel and are embracing the lie that they can find answers within themselves.  A recent survey found that only 39% of Americans are "serious" about their faith, which is almost half of what it was just a few years ago at the turn of the century.  It is a far cry ...  Read More

Bereans,The second installment of my comments on the Sanctity of Life involves the satanic worldview that embraces and glorifies death and hates life. Specifically, there is increasing advocacy for human population control, with undertones of preventing the undesirable from reproducing.  This line of thinking insists that man is the earth's problem, so we need fewer people.  Of course, everything ...  Read More

Bereans,This Sunday is Sanctity of Life Sunday in the United States, which we recognize every year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide.  At the time, all fifty states had laws outlawing (or strictly regulating) abortion, both major political parties strongly opposed the practice, and public opinion was decidedly a...  Read More

Bereans,In observance of Thanksgiving, I'm sharing a couple of articles about this uniquely American holiday.   The first, by Kevin DeYoung, has some interesting history about the journey this celebration took toward becoming a national holiday.  Most importantly, he exhorts Christians to celebrate the holiday in accordance with its original intent of thanking our Creator and repenting of sin.  Ev...  Read More

Bereans,God established the human institutions of church, family, and government. His Word clearly spells out the roles He has assigned to each one of these institutions. This is what Scripture says about the role of government: "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoev...  Read More
