Parents, Obey Your Children?
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
Literary critic Lionel Trilling once referred to “the dark and bloody crossroads where literature and politics meet.” In reality, almost all literature is political in some sense. Oddly enough, the most explicitly subversive literature is often presented to the very youngest among us — our children. Far too many parents seem not to notice.

The joy of having children is something sought after by all kinds of people, specifically for Christians who understand the gift children are from the Lord. When pregnancy becomes difficult, how should Christians think about reproductive issues?

Gay Rights and the President of the United States
President Obama has come out in strong support of homosexual marriage. This past weekend he spoke to the Human Rights Campaign promising to eliminate stigmas surrounding homosexuality in America.

The Cross of Christ on Public Land
The United States Supreme Court will hear Salazar vs. Buono tomorrow, determining whether or not a religious cross should be allowed on the Mojave National Preserve in California.

The Cross of Christ is Not a Secular Symbol
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
A looming constitutional crisis now hangs over the Mojave National Preserve in California, and the stage is set for a constitutional battle at the U.S. Supreme Court. The story is a bit convoluted, but the issue at stake is a cross erected by the Veterans of Foreign Wars at Sunrise Rock in the Mojave Desert. The VFW erected the cross in 1934 as a memorial to the dead of World War I. Sixty years later, that piece of property became part of the Mojave National Preserve, which is under the supervision of the National Park Service. That sets up a legal battle that arrives at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday.
