Children's Center has seen miracle after miracle and hero after hero and now one of those heroes is leaving the center, they hope, for good. After a quick walk through a cold parking lot, on the heels of a six hour drive from Little Rock, Kimberly Martin is just moments away from a first, the first time she'll have her son Christian home for the

The Intolerance of True ReligionNovember 21

Once again, I turn to "A Weekly Dose of Spurgeon" @ the Pyromaniac blog for a very challenging message desperately needed in our postmodern times: The Intolerance of True Religion Your weekly dose of Spurgeon posted by Phil Johnson The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from "The Way of Salvation," a sermon preached Sunday morning, August 15, 1858, at the Music Hall, Royal Surrey Gardens. "Neither is there salvation in any other." id you ever notice the intolerance of God's religion? In olden times the heathen, who had different gods, all of them respected the gods of their neighbors. For instance, the king of Egypt would confess that the gods of Nineveh were true and real gods, and the prince of Babylon would acknowledge that the gods of the Philistines were true and real gods: but Jehovah, the God of Israel, put this as one of his first commandments, "Thou shalt have none

My brother's response to: Some Save Lips for MarriageNovember 18

They are not the only ones out there who believe this way. I will be marrying my lovely fiance on Aug. 8 of next year. While we didn't realize it until well into our relationship, the two of us have a similar story. Namely, neither of us has ever kissed anyone, much less been sexually active. Upon learning this exciting detail about each other, we decided to wait until our wedding day to kiss for the first time. N

Some Save Lips for MarriageNovember 17

The following article was published this week in the Oklahoma University newspaper. I post it here as a prelude to my brother's response, which I will post tomorrow. Both are well worth reading and very encouraging for those of us who would consider ourselves "very conservative". Enjoy!   Some save lips for marriage Caitlin Harrison/The Daily Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Some OU students and couples choose not to kiss until marriage. Lindsey Allgood/The Daily Laura Abington and her fianc, Jon Malone, are like any other engaged couple, except for one thing: they have never kissed each other. Malone, English education graduate student, said he chose to wait to kiss Abington, math education senior, because he thinks a relationship before marriage should not be primarily physical. "I think this time is for other things, particular
