The High Cost of Immorality

Too bad Mr. Craven didn't explore a deeper and more sinister root of "private" sexuality, i.e. the practice of contraception. It seems to be a taboo subject and as long as it is there will likely be no solutions advanced to curb the immorality problem that Mr. Craven speaks of. As procreation was increasingly separated from the marriage act, sex was increasingly separated from marriage. Why is that so difficult to acknowledge? Perhaps because contraception is treated as an inviolable, unquestioned right of even Christian couples. But for nineteen centuries it was condemned by all Christian bodies so Craven ought to back up a little more and include contraception under the umbrella of "God’s rule related to sex and the family."
Until this great sin of modern Christian societies is exposed for what it is, all Mr. Craven has to hold on to is wishful thinking.

Chuck Colson Diagnoses 'Heart' of Church Problem

A great diagnosis by Chuck Colson! Colson believes the root of the church’s problem is that Christians don’t know what they believe in. How true.
Perhaps nothing has been as destructive to Christian society in the last number of decades as the abandonment of two thousand years of Christian teaching on God’s order for sexuality, starting with beliefs about contraception.
Like Colson points out, Christians should understand historic Christian beliefs and live by them.
I posted a blog entry today on this subject.

American Moral Values: Narrowed or Prioritized?

Dr. Land has made a good case for his comments regarding “narrowing” vs. “prioritizing.” I will quote from his opening paragraph something which SportinLife and mcfbc obviously failed to read and/or comprehend. "Can there be a higher priority or a more compelling moral issue than three thousand six hundred babies dying every day? If a child is born poor, he at least has some chance of escaping poverty. If he is killed before he is born, he doesn’t have a chance of escaping his mother’s womb."
The person who places torture or poverty on a higher or even an equal priority to abortion is clearly someone who is not thinking rationally. Try to read Mr. Land's article with an open mind. Not all human actions which are evil are of equal weight. Abortion involves the premeditated killing of a fellow human being, an action of immense evil. Torture and neglect of the poor may well be evil actions also but neither can compare with murder.
