Biola University has released a statement on human sexuality, which was in preparation over the last 18 months, along with a letter from President Covey (dated May 10, 2012). It is reported that this statement is (in some sense) a response to a group known as The Biola Queer Underground, a group which describes itself as "a group of like-minded LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) students and allies who have formed a private underground community in which we share our life struggles, as well as our love and support for one another."

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.

Many liberal houses of worship and progressive businesses have … [Read more...] about North Carolina Voters Did Not Ban Same-Sex Marriage
The Temptation of Tim Tebow
Great article by Esther Fleece in the Washington Post on a $1 million dollar "bounty" that a particular "business" has pledged to whoever can entice Tim Tebow into losing his virginity. An excerpt: Let’s set aside for the purposes of this discussion the crassly transparent attempt by Biderman to make a buck, or at least generate a few headlines promoting his “business,” by taking advantage of Tebow’s name and fame.

Time For The Talk: Leading Your Son Into True Manhood
I read this fantastic book in preparation for some messages I gave at Riverbend Community Church in Ormond Beach, FL a few weeks ago.

It will equip him to do something very challenging and absolutely crucial in our day: Lovingly, biblically and effectively communicating to his son the changes that come with puberty, the dangers associated with the world's distortions of God's good gift of sexuality, and how to glorify God as a man. Today only, it's on sale for $6.98 - 50% off. Ted Tripp's … [Read more...] about Time For The Talk: Leading Your Son Into True Manhood
