Homeschoolers' request for asylum questioned by judges

Time to freak out! The Government of the United States is thinking about taking sides with Germany over the most basic right of every parent- the right to raise their own kids!

German homeschoolers face harassment, jail

If you live in Germany you should have been freaking out for quite some time now. The State can legislate the way you raise and educate your children. The Family is no longer sacred in Germany... Not that it ever was.

Imagining How Planned Parenthood Might Respond to Gosnell

Trevin Wax has an interesting take on the Gosnell crazyness. This is very interesting.

 Pentagon Blocks Access to Southern Baptist Website

The U.S. Military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an unknown number of military bases because it contains “hostile content” — just weeks after an Army briefing labeled Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as examples of religious extremism, Fox News has learned.

Northland, CCM, Fundamentalism & the Separation [FBI]

There's been quite the kerfuffle at Northland University, and it has something to do with music. It appears that somebody tried to recruit some students at a Big Daddy Weave concert to attend Northland, and some school supporters believed that this practice was a direct violation of the School's fundamentalist beliefs regarding proper worship. Initially, I encountered this debate with a bit of, "Uhh... whaa... ?" We must always remember that there are thee aspects to being a Christian: Orthodoxy, Orthopraxy, and lest we forget- Orthopathy. This debate is a healthy dialogue about how to cultivate correct emotions and affections, a much needed discussion all across Evangelical Christendom!

Agreeing on Our Disagreements

 David de Bruyn reminds us that we misunderstand the Fundamentalist concern because we typically neglect these three teirs of Christian faith:

"We believe that Christianity is more than orthodoxy: belief in or commitment to a set of doctrines fundamental to the Gospel. We believe that one can deny the faith with your actions (1 Tim 1:16, 1 Tim 5:8). James certainly tells us that orthodoxy without orthopraxy is no orthodoxy at all. I think many who disagree with our position on music would agree up to this point. However, we also believe in orthopathy. We believe that fundamental to the faith are rightly ordered loves, or affections. The core of the faith is to love God ultimately (Mark 12:28-29)."

Why We Need The Worship Wars

More from the same sight. Worship wars are good for us! It keeps us thinking about orthopathy and how to cultivate a good orthopathy!
