Breakpoint

It may not have been said by Albert Einstein, but it’s true. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”  I think about this every time I read another article about “why young people are leaving the Church.” So many of these articles are written by progressives or ex-evangelicals proclaiming that churches must adopt liberal theology, LGBT ideology, and focus on social justice rather than sin and salvation if they hope to survive. But churches and denominations have already tried this for years, and the ones who have are overwhelmingly old, white, and dying. The churches losing members at a dizzying rate still are the ones that have ordained gay clergy and are preaching a social gospel. On the other hand, their conservative counterparts are growing still.   Look, young people don’t need another institution to make them feel good. They need one that will tell them the truth about sin, and the Savior who calls them to be transformed in the world, not conformed to it.  (Republished from 8.29.17)

In a recent study, of the 114 women who claimed to have chemically aborted their babies, “six out of ten” said that chemical abortion “is a traumatic experience that can include physical pain, emotional distress, and lasting feelings of isolation for which they desire help, but most don’t know where to turn.”  If you know a woman who’s experienced a chemical abortion, the Abortion Pill Reversal Network or Support After Abortion may be able to help. 

According to the numbers, some of the happiest people in America are married moms.

While 66 clinics are no longer providing abortion, pregnancy resource centers continue to do their important care.

As platforms like Twitter facilitate nastier and hotter debates than ever, Christians who take part would do well to examine our principles and consider how it’s possible to laugh at our enemies and love them.

According to NPR, Planned Parenthood will soon be sending out “mobile abortion clinics,” buses outfitted to provide abortion services on wheels.

Fathers are more than just sperm donors. They have a connection with their children beyond contributing DNA. This supports the claim that there’s really no such thing as parenting: There’s only mothering and fathering.

You may have heard that Eastern story about the six blind men who encounter an elephant. Who was right about their view of the elephant? Everyone, we’re told. Just like everyone is right in their own view about God. But in reality, none of the men were right about the elephant.

Detransitioners are considered either non-existent or an embarrassment by the cultural powers that be. Yet, they make clear that people struggling with dysphoria are not the enemy. Rather, the dogmas of trans ideology are.
