The Evangelical Outpost asks “what constitutes a valid religion?”. Since becoming a born-again Christian about 5 years ago, I have come up with my own definitions of religion. I have two. The first is the broadest, and simplest to explain. A religion is a world-view. It’s how you perceive the world, and how you think [...]
My Utmost for His Highest
As someone who started the day out in a bad mood (which caused me to lose track of what I was doing and lock my keys in my car, making my mood worse), this was especially good for me today. THE REALM OF THE REAL In your patience possess ye your souls. – Luke 21:19 [...]

A few friends and I have a group on Yahoo Groups, where we can carry on various discussions, and do our best to overcome the physical distance between us. I posted the following to the group back in August, and still find the issue interesting and important, so I thought I would post it here. [...]

May 26, 2004
From Khouse e-news: TEENS AND SECRET ABORTIONS A teenage girl in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire made British news earlier this month because the school health care worker who encouraged her to have an abortion did not bother to contact the girl’s parents. After learning she was pregnant, fourteen-year-old Melissa Smith sought the help of teachers who sent [...]
