eHarmony Bows to the Gay Movement
If you thought that eHarmony was a faith-based dating service, think again. True many Christians have utilized the matchmaking service over the years and Christian organizations such as Focus on the Family have even endorsed the service when it was in its infancy. However, eHarmony’s latest move should settle the fact once and for all that it is not a Christian-based service by any stretch of the imagination.
Gay Rights Activists Don’t Like California’s Proposition 8
California’s Proposition 8, which bans gay marriages, was recently approved by voters in the November 4th election. The proposition is designed to not only define marriage as a union between “one man and one woman” but also seeks to overturn a May 15th California Supreme Court ruling that declared same-sex couples had the right to marry under the California Constitution on the grounds of privacy and equal protection.
California Voters Say No To Gay Marriage
California voters have adopted a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage which will overturn the recent California Supreme Court decision that gave gay couples the right to marry just months ago.
Clergy Appreciation Month Draws Near End
October is Clergy Appreciation Month, a time when parishioners have the opportunity to recognize the contribution their leader makes in their life and community. This of course should be done year-round but it is nice to have a special time of the year that focuses specifically on them and their ministry they provide.
Should Christians Celebrate or Observe Halloween?
Every since I became a Christian in 1988, I have loathed the Halloween holiday. While I love some horror movies, a good haunted house and even monsters, gouls and ghosts in general, something about celebrating a holiday that is steeped in pagan rites and rituals just doesn’t sit right with me as a follower of Christ.
Connecticut Becomes Third State To Legalize Gay Marriage
Connecticut’s Supreme Court ruled Friday that homosexual couples have the right to marry, making the state the third behind Massachusetts and California to legalize gay unions through the courts. The ruling comes just weeks before Californians go to the polls on a historic gay-“marriage” ballot question.
The Terminator Continues To Squash Religious Freedom & Moral Values
California Governor Arnold “I’ll be back” Schwarzenegger signed three bills last week that many conservatives say will further squash moral values and religious freedom in that state. “Under these new laws, foster parents, nurses, doctors, health insurance plans, city and county commissions, and court-appointed children’s advocates must abandon their moral, social or financial values at the altar of the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda,” stated Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families, on Friday.
The United States a Christian Nation? Think Again!
While the United States may have been originally founded as a Christian nation or at least based on Christian values, to say that the U.S. is a Christian nation today is to fool ourselves. As God becomes less evident in our schools, our government, our money, the media, and even our homes, this country continues to move further and further away from traditional Christian values.
Are You Evolving As A Christian? Is It For Good or For Bad?
I was having an interesting discussion with a Christian brother and very good friend a few days ago. He mentioned an individual at his work who claimed to be a Christian due to the fact that he believed in God, went to church on a regular basis and didn’t cuss. However, my friend observed some “not so Christian-friendly” traits in this guy including the fact that he was very lazy, had a very short fuse when it came to managing his anger and was very pessimistic.
