Yes but even so if you are going to be under pressure liberty counselmis who you want on your side. They have a tremendous track record. They often are able to go on the offensive.
I agree.
And for most of my life I was a liberal and Democrat. I remember how much I looked to politics for life’s solutions.
Not that politics doesn’t matter. Of course it does.
But it is troubling that we seem to be looking to political leaders a lot more to solve our problems.
One reason why that may be, too, is that so many in Christian leadership these days are silent. Rick Warren is a major one. He’s seems content to go along with Joel Osteen and sell “Christian self-improvement.”
Then, the culture is a big one. The leaders can only do so much about that.
I was just thinking today how much impact cable television has had on our society.
Things were very different through most of the seventies when you could only get a few t.v. channels.
Now there’s so much t.v. and is that what life is about?
How about this year becoming one for remembrance of, yes, unplanned parents in need, and a host of other people in the picture with frozen, hard souls? Even if they brought it on themselves? They’re harder to love than babies, that is true, but this is where the front of hardheartedness converges on the babies. If the problem is not headed off there, we encounter a far more difficult “Roe” to hoe.
The demand drove the supply. If it weren’t lucrative it would never be present.
I don’t ever blame a neutral thing — in fact there is nothing in principle stopping that from being a massive gospel conduit.
I know.
But some people suggested, and I agreed, it would be a good thing to take this to trial, and let the evidence come out.
Instead it seems like Planned Parenthood only sought and managed to get/buy the indictments they wanted, not for actual prosecutions, but for the “vindicating” publicity and the leverage.
It’s also seemed like the last thing they’d want were actual trials, and pro-life activists going to prison. So why not make them go through at least one?
Offering it up to God, failures and all, is the last thing the devil wants. The devil only wants us to offer what we think are our successes, while the rest we keep to ourselves and dare not bring to God.
God loves abject failures. That’s when we know we need Him. The successes, we would pat ourselves on the back for as supposedly “good men.”
Grace, in fact, is the only thing that can feed virtue.
Folks who get more sour than dill pickles and expect this to bring virtue forth anywhere at all, are always in for terrible disappointments.
Which, probably not coincidentally, is why the film sting here, as outraging as it was, was not of itself able to work any good. It was an exercise in 99 44/100% pure blame. And if you want experts in blame, never try to top the devil.
On the other hand, nobody can top the grace of Jesus.
Do you really think they convinced anyone who didnt already like pp?
Few, I would think. If you had already cozied up enough to the devil to be copacetic with PP’s abortion biz, getting yourself reeled in for this was probably a slam dunk for that evil angel (to mix metaphors).
I wish the country would once more consider going Jesus rather than either Galt or Bronson... there are terrific grudges being held all over the land, and they are needless.
It shows as an attitude that comes like a ray of sunlight from a source unseen.
Whats the psalm, I thank the lord, who trains my hands for war.
I dont mind fighting for the right things. Galt and Bronson have their proper places.
Galt was a character in an atheistic vision. It attempted to be noble, but assumed a property of mankind that cannot exist in and of itself.
