Bravo!<br /><br />And I agree with Rob: Secondhand smoke is not a friend to my respiratory system. The external environment of my workplace sees many smokers who ignore the "please stay away from the entrance 30 ft" signs. Sometimes I wish I could just wear a mask...but then people might think that I have some sort of contagious disease!<br /><br />That last video about R v. W was just sickening. Done in complete poor taste. A part of me wishes that they didn't take down the video so that more people can see how inane it is!<br /><br />Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289347868497438542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-13439745028806347842013-01-31T19:24:13.251-08:002013-01-31T19:24:13.251-08:00Regarding that pro-abortion video - vile is right....Regarding that pro-abortion video - vile is right. That video has a layer of messages. The <i>"all of us"</i> refers to men just like the "sexy" guy in the video, who want to use women for their own pleasure without having to be concerned about any uncomfortable consequences for their actions. How any woman could watch this and <i>not</i> feel disrespected is beyond me. But then again, that would be tied into the lack of shame that exists in our society. That video was an insult toward all women because underneath the guise of celebrating modern feminism as synonymous with pro-abortion rights it undermines the dignity of women. It does so by viewing women's ability to conceive and bear children as an interference to unbridled sexual passion. It also regards women merely as objects for the sexual pleasure of men, hence the exaggerated display of seduction. The message is that abortion is advantageous for all us sexually active guys because it provides us the means to indulge our lust with whomever we want without any repercussions.afemst 986Nonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452040267177962781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-10572454243309574272013-01-31T19:03:57.482-08:002013-01-31T19:03:57.482-08:00Frank, one has to wonder why there was no feminist...Frank, one has to wonder why there was no feminist outcry.

That could not describe the culture any better - whether it's abortion, homosexuality or other perversions, covetousness, ignorance, or other vices, things which <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=eph%205:3,%2011-12&version=ESV" rel="nofollow">should not even be mentioned</a> are persistently promoted in the media (and even bragged about in the pulpit!).<br /><br />Killing an unborn child? As normal as buying beer. Engaging in all manner of sexual perversion? Pride! But believing that perversion is wrong - wait, believing there is any such thing as perversion - is bigoted hatred which should have you marginalized from society. The only thing which is consistently considered shameful is to think any of this should be shameful - that is clearly bigoted, misogynistic, racist, flat-earther, or the epithet du jour.<br /><br />When Paul declared that he was not ashamed of the gospel, clearly he meant that in the eyes of the world, the gospel is something he <i>should</i> have been ashamed of, and it's no different for us today. To those who are being saved, it is the sweet fragrance of life, but to those who are perishing it is the stench of death. Though they hate it, we must keep proclaiming and obeying it, because it is the only place they can find the righteousness of God and gain life.trogdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452996348717802065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-41127475543509255882013-01-30T14:03:05.490-08:002013-01-30T14:03:05.490-08:00"Let him who is without sin, cast the first s..."Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone"Nash Equilibriumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528684112014026512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-79670693753912614492013-01-30T13:07:10.892-08:002013-01-30T13:07:10.892-08:00Jesus and the woman at the well have something to ...Jesus and the woman at the well have something to teach us about shame.

I remember when they came up with that here in Baltimore, having a connection with the NFL Baltimore Colts. <br /><br />"Somehow, someone wants to extract the shame from the act of abortion the way someone else extracted the shame from buying cheap beer. It's as if they are the same kind of thing." <br /><br />No shame. Sad. That abortion video made me mad. <br /><br />There have been a lot of cans of Colt 5 sold since it first came out, and it has done some damage for sure.<br />And since Roe there have been 55,000,000 babies killes.<br />What a holocaust we will look back on one day, many years from now. perhaps the same way we look back on Hitler's holocaust.<br /><br />I don't see our culture in America getting any better, until it gets way, way far worse.<br />I hate to think this way, and I hope I'm wrong.<br />But, whatever may come, I pray our Lord will help us have the courage to stand in His truth, and proclaim the Gospel with joy and with genuine gratitude.<br /><br />Christ on the Cross needs to be seen as the Gospel light of the Lamb of God, who became sin. And Jesus the risen Christ and God who reigns from His Father's right hand.<br />Not a whole lot of words, but the truth is the sword that cuts deep into a heart.<br /><br /><br /><br />donsandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794015011057098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1485854081338540372013-01-30T11:26:12.556-08:002013-01-30T11:26:12.556-08:00No way - Lex is 100 times more subtle.No way - Lex is 100 times more subtle.FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-86517446284954955912013-01-30T11:18:25.109-08:002013-01-30T11:18:25.109-08:00I don't know why, but the abortion video guy a...I don't know why, but the abortion video guy always reminds me of a black Lex Luthor, especially when he laughs.<br /><br />(O.o)Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264274336322086961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-33739537169810087952013-01-30T10:59:13.108-08:002013-01-30T10:59:13.108-08:00Robert: a convicted sinner is ready for the Gospel...Robert: a convicted sinner is ready for the Gospel.FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-65823639329335625252013-01-30T10:51:18.178-08:002013-01-30T10:51:18.178-08:00Shane,

The thing that saddens and angers me most is to hear that so many professing Christians try to justify their sins.

Had a long-time friend 'unfriend' me and pretty much stop talking to me altogether over a discussion about them. <br /><br />Funny, people will put up with all kinds of social 'problem'-type situations (Jersey Shore, Real Housewives, insert-favorite-dysfunctional-reality-show, etc.) but show a family that loves each other, doesn't depend on gov't assistance and be Christians -- the haters come out in droves. <br /><br />I think the difference is that those others make the viewers feel good about themselves. I think the Duggars cause envy and 'that's-not-fair-they-have-too-much' to emerge more often. <br /><br />(Just my observations)Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846790306119108655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-85559979271926559782013-01-30T09:53:37.268-08:002013-01-30T09:53:37.268-08:00Marla - it was a facebook discussion.Marla - it was a facebook discussion.FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-7507632178882260422013-01-30T09:35:26.325-08:002013-01-30T09:35:26.325-08:00Michael: of course he did -- you missed the rest ...Michael: of course he did -- you missed the rest of the film! ;) Miss you on FB.
