Study suggests risks from same-sex parenting Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that gay parents are the same as - or maybe better than - married mother-father parents. “The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,” University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus said in his study in Social Science Research. Using a “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults, Mr. Regnerus looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and relationship outcomes. He found that, when compared with adults raised in married, mother-father families, adults raised by le…

Syria's Insurrection Is Not America's War By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - June 5, 2012 In pushing for U.S. military intervention in Syria -- arming the insurgents and using U.S. air power to "create safe zones" for anti-regime forces "inside Syria's borders" -- The Washington Post invokes "vital U.S. interests" that are somehow imperiled there. Exactly what these vital interests are is left unexplained. For 40 years, we have lived with a Damascus regime led by either Bashar Assad or his father, Hafez Assad. Were our "vital interests" in peril all four decades? In 1991, George H.W. Bush recruited the elder Assad into his Desert Storm coalition that liberated Kuwai…

We have come to a time when we are continually on the defense. We dig our little spiritually foxholes and pile up our sandbags with our little spiritual peashooter and try to keep the Devil from getting us when we ought to be marching out like and army and having the Devil run from us.

I know about John Macarthur, Max Lucado, John Piper. The wife of our pastor told me to be careful in buying 'Christian' books, coz' not all books claiming to be in the Christian section are 'Christian' books. (Teaching is distorted etc.) Any more recommendation>?

Insight: In Greece, a painful return to country roots KONITSA, Greece (Reuters) - Thirteen years after abandoning rural Greece for a career in graphic design, Spiridoula Lakka finds herself in the last place she expected to end up - watering a patch of lettuce and herbs in her sleepy village. As Greece sank into its worst economic crisis since World War Two, Lakka had already given up her dream of becoming a web designer. Even waitressing seemed impossible. She faced a simple choice: be stranded without money in Athens, or return to the geriatric village where she grew up plotting to escape. At age 32, Lakka, an office clerk who also juggled odd jobs, joined a growing…

Legislative branch - Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. Acts 19:32 United States - Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21 Anyone else think of a definition for the obvious chaos in the U.S.?

Is the GOP ready for its own gay candidate? (Video at link below) Richard Tisei is running for Congress with an unusual resume. He's a Republican from Massachusetts who is pro-choice, openly gay, and in favor of gay marriage. And yet despite running diametrically opposed to where most of the party is on social issues, Tisei is considered by top Republicans to be one of the top GOP candidates challenging incumbents this election "I consider myself a live and let live Republican. I think the government should get off your back, out of your wallet and away from the bedroom," Tisei says. On social issues he says the parties needs to "have advocates on both sides of the i…

ANYBODY BUT ROMNEY By Dr. Patrick Jonston June 2, 2012 NewsWithViews.com [Disclaimer: The opinion expressed in this article are those of Dr. Patrick Johnston and not the opinion of NewsWithViews, it's staff and other writers.] The year is 1999. Clinton’s cigars and his mistress’ stained dresses are all that’s on the media’s mind. Christian conservatives are as giddy as a five-year-old on the eve of a Disney vacation. They are itchin’ to put an “R” in the White House. Their rallying cry? “Anybody but Clinton.” Nevermind that Texas Governor G. W. Bush endorsed abortion in cases of rape, incest, and maternal health. Nevermind that he appointed pro-…

Our pastor's wife lent a book to me about spiritual warfare. I was a former Catholic and the Christian view about spiritual warfare is very different. Also in comparison with evangelical Christians who also exorcise demons. We are urged to resist the devil and we shouldn't busy ourselves in exorcising people and places. As a Christian (genuine) we are sure that we will not be possesed by the devil since, we are under GOD's protection. Any comments/insights about this book? Any other book that you can recommend to me re: spiritual warfare since I'm a baby Christian. Was baptized last year.

I have a question about diabetes. My papa collapsed a few days ago. We know that he is diabetic because of the signs and symptoms. After getting conscious, he cannot walk anymore and lose strengh in his thigh, waist and legs. He is not paralyzed because he can still feel but the lower part of his body is very weak that he cannot walk alone and have to be assisted by my brother. Is this because of diabetes? or there is vitamins and minerals lack in his body? We will go to the doctor tomorrow for check up but just like to ask opinion if this is related to diabetes. He is always thirsty and losing weight. Please advise and pray for his situation. Thanks, Jeny

I just read several posts on Facebook posted by Christians, a few of which I actually know, talking about unbiblical, dangerous things. 1. Praying to angels. 2. Babies and children who died becoming angels. The two overlapped in some of the conversations as some of these Christians talked about praying to their dead babies/children/grandchildren who they think are now their guardian angels. Some Christians were comforting those who lost babies and children by telling them they are now angels in heaven. Some were saying the only way they can carry on is knowing their little babies now have their wings. I know these sort of ideas have been around a long time but …

Ann Romney Asks the Right Question By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - June 1, 2012 When Hillary Rosen said that Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life," it was among the better days of the Romney campaign. For Rosen -- present whereabouts unknown -- both revealed the feminist mindset about women who choose to become wives and mothers and brought Ann Romney center stage. Before a Connecticut audience recently, Mrs. Romney spoke of her reluctance to see her husband pursue the presidency a second time and said she resisted, until she got an answer to one critical question. "Can you fix it?" she asked Mitt. "I need to know. Is it too late?" Mitt Romney replied,…

Why is it worldly people in America beg for money from the public in order to set up a foundation so that they can do good for others? After I give to my Lord I do not have the money to support worldly people trying to do their good works. And if I have any extra money I feel I ought to be give it to my church & what good that is done with it, is done in only the name of Jesus, not some worldly person getting praised, or even worse, a false teacher of the Gospel. And with each new year there seem to be several more of these worldly people that come up with some idea how to do good for others by begging the American people for money in order for them to do good works…

10 REASONS WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON THE GOSPEL THAN ON POLITICS 1. Politics change. The gospel doesn't (Matthew 24:35). 2. The gospel will transform our politics, not vice versa (Romans 12:1,2). 3. It's what Jesus calls us to do (Acts 1:6-8). 4. We are citizens of a different kingdom (Philippians 3:20). 5. It's what the early church focused on (Acts 4:23-31). 6. It attacks the root of evil and not just the fruit of it (Romans 1:16). 7. Politics can divide the body of Christ while the gospel will unite us (Philippians 1:27). 8. The gospel calls us to pray for politicians we disagree with, not hate them (1 Timothy 2:1-4). 9. The gospel brings po…

I know this seems strange to those goody-goody Christians that have been lulled to sleep by the soft message flowing from the lips of compromising preachers. We live in an age of softness, when people have been almost convinced to believe in the Good Lord and the Good Devil. We live in a time of love everybody, except those who are standing for the faith and battling for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Biblically, my hubs and I believe it is still wrong. As to a divorced man giving counseling, well - if he has learned from what brought about the divorce and has grown spiritually, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think the Bible addresses it, either, so there's nothing we could say is unbiblical about it. Now, if the man is an unrepentant adulterer, then no way (and believe me, there are far too many unrepentant adulterers in pulpits and/or involved in ministries). -

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either. -
