Winner – ESV Study Bible

We have a Winner!

After some serious thought about how to perform the drawing, we resorted to the boring method of drawing numbers out of a hat. Well, … a bowl actually. We so wanted to make it interesting but our pointy brains could not devise a simple way to make the drawing fun.

My son, Greg, did the actual drawing and pulled lucky number seven. I downloaded my Feedburner subscriber list into Excel and counted to seven to find our lucky person and …

My friend David, at Boomer in the Pew, asked an interesting question yesterday; “What faith materials are you studying each week?”

California Bans Gay Marriage

The Presidential election was not the only clear political signal on Tuesday. California has passed the controversial Proposition 8 denying same-sex couples the right to marry. Perhaps it was not so controversial after all.

Florida and Arizona also got in on the movement and defined marriage as between a man and a woman. It appears that same-sex couples that wed after a recent judges ruling will have their unions annulled.

Measures on the ballot designed to limit abortions were uniformly defeated. the Colorado initiative was crushed. Arkansas passed a ban on gay couples adopting children and the Colorado proposal to end Affirmative Action seems a dead heat the morning after while it passes handily in Nebraska. Medical marijuana will be arriving in Michigan.

Jesus Can't Kick a Field Goal

Brian Cuban has good article on a very touchy subject. Church leaders, like me, are concerned about the growing anti-Christian bias in American culture. The ‘Establishment Clause’ has strong legal standing but my concern is that the media, schools, courts, etc. have moved far beyond the intent of the Constitution.

The Founders clearly did not want a State Church or State Religion. The ‘Wall of Separation’ was intended to keep the government out of the church’s business. Given the recent, sweeping accomodations we are making for Muslims, I have the sense that we are straining at gnats while swallowing flies elephants.
