Theism vs. Atheism
Recently, I had been doing some friendly debating amongst some friends and family on Facebook. The topic of the debate was the idea of objective morality. Throughout the entire debate, I have been pleasantly surprised that proponents of both sides have kept things quite amiable.
Fertilized Eggs Recognized As “Humans” by North Dakota
A measure recently approved by the North Dakota House of representatives provides a fertilized human egg the legal rights of a human being, a step that would essentially ban abortion in the state. Representatives voted 51-41 to approve the measure Tuesday. It now moves to the North Dakota Senate for its review.
Trusting God in the “New” Economy
With our economy in what is being called the worst recession in over 35 years, and perhaps since the Great Depression, it is expected that people are going to start asking questions. One thing on the minds of many people is how their faith relates to this economic downturn.
Economic Recovery
Obviously, one of the biggest things in the news and in Washington, D.C. these days is what the government is going to do about the economy.

Of the seven actions Obama has taken, five are supported by a large majority of Americans.However, ratings are low for the other two actions, the lowest being for Obama’s decision to allow funding for overseas family planning groups that provide abortions.
Faith Without Works
Making the connection between belief and action should be such a simple thing. In every day life, it plays itself out. You believe the stove is hot, so you avoid touching it. You believe that you’ll get in trouble if you’re late for work, so you get out of bed earlier. So, why is it so hard to do the same thing with Christ?
