Great reminder from David Murray: Our enemy says, “Youth for pleasure, middle age for business, old age for religion.” The Bible says, “Youth, middle age, and old age for your Creator.” In Eccl. 12:1 we read: "Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, 'I have no pleasure in them.'" Why? Because our early years, writes David Murray, are: 1. Energetic years 2. Sensitive years Far more of us become Christians in our youth than in our middle or old age. 3. Teachable years 4.

North Carolina Voters Did Not Ban Same-Sex Marriage
The media is widely reporting tonight's North Carolina vote as a "same-sex marriage ban." But Ryan T. Anderson correctly characterizes the vote differently. He explains: Today’s vote in North Carolina is not about banning anything. Nothing will be made illegal as a result.

VP Joe Biden on Gay “Marriage”
Over the weekend, Vice-President Joe Biden made news by declaring his support of gay marriage. President Obama is supposedly opposed to it, but says his position on the issue is "evolving." Denny Burk nails it: It is very unlikely that Vice President Biden’s remarks were unplanned. President Obama is trying to win reelection. To do that he needs the support of his base, including homosexual activists who have contributed heavily to his campaign. He also needs not to alienate swing voters in places like Ohio and Florida, many of whom oppose same sex marriage. In other words, if he wants to … [Read more...] about VP Joe Biden on Gay “Marriage”
