Why Only Baptized Christians Should Take Communion

This helpful article is really a round-up of various helpful articles that I think give a great summary to the correct practice of communion. Communion is a very sacred act, and we should participate in communion in a manner worthy of the dying Saviour who offers it to us.

The largest Protestant denominations

This is just a stat sheet updating us on the latest numbers of Christians in North America and noting which denomination they belong to.

Being Gay at Jerry Falwell's University

I'm not sure what to do with this article. It's very well written, but at the conclusion of it all, I am left conflicted. You are left without being entirely satisfied by the author's account of what happened; there seem to be quite a few details missing that would be nice to have. Based on the author's account, I am also left wondering about the approach taken by Liberty University. Yes, they were loving and the author points this out. But was there ever a call to reconsider and repent? And what did the author's mom and dad think of it all? And what eventually happened to his roomate? Ultimately, the author points out that his Christian identity comes into conflict with his homosexual desires, but he gives no explanation as to how he resolved this identity conflict. This is one of those articles leaves me with more questions and no opportunity to ask.

Dr. David Allen gives a great word on a centuries-old debate that is really relevant only to Calvinists.

Planned Parenthood, Infanticide, and the Return to Paganism

This scary thing is that nobody who is truly honest with themselves can continue to pretend that there is not a more sinister agenda involved in the Pro-Choice movement. It is not, and never was, pro-choice. It is, and always was, about choosing death.

Your brain is plastic (and that’s good news)

You do not always need psychotropic drugs and advanced pharmacological treatment from medical doctors to sort out your emotions.

Finally, A Book for High Schoolers on How to Study the Bible

For all my teenagers out there. This one is for you!
