Albert Mohler on the murderous culture of obstetricians who abort one of two or three unborn children to reduce the number of live births. Jenny makes this clear. She explains that she had conceived through IVF and an egg donor. Had the pregnancy occurred naturally, she said, “I wouldn’t have reduced this pregnancy, because you …
Friday night, I took my family to see the Atlanta Braves beat the pants off of the Cubs. On that night, Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 32 games breaking an Atalanta franchise record and hit two home runs. Three other braves hit the long ball that night as well. It was a great …
I’ve written recently about the concerns I have that the rising reformed movement among younger evangelicals may, dare I say, emphasize the role of the pastor as preacher at the expense of emphasizing the role of pastor as shepherd.
