Two stories recently in the news have exposed the absolute moral bankruptcy of pro-choice thinking. Both of them illustrate the fact that pro-choice logic leads not just to the devaluing of unborn human life but to that of newborn human life as well.

Just a side note here about how “Kony 2012” measures up to other viral videos. As of this writing, the YouTube version has received over 76 million views.

Piers Morgan Goes at Guests on the Gay Marriage Issue
If you are to appear on the Piers Morgan program, there is no need to be surprised or unprepared for the gay marriage questions. If he views you as a Christian, the questions will come whether you want them to or not. Whether or not it has anything to do with the reason you’re on the program, he’s going to ask, and he’s going to do it in such a way that casts you personally in a negative light. Clearly this is an important issue to him, and he wants to discredit anyone who believes what the Bible says about human sexuality. He’s done it over and over again (see…

Intolerant Gay Activists Target Chick-fil-a
Tolerance for Christian teaching continues to wear really thin in some areas of our country. World magazine reports that activists have now set their sights on Chick-fil-a. Why?

Do you know who Joseph Kony is?
If you don’t know who Joseph Kony is by now, then it’s likely that you don’t own a computer. He’s a brutal warlord in Africa who kidnaps children and conscripts them into his “Lord’s Resistance Army” (LRA). His tactics are unspeakably vicious and brutal, and he’s been at it for over 20 years. The man is a monster, and he needs to be stopped. I have written twice before on this blog about Kony, once in 2005 and again in 2008. Here’s what Christianity Today wrote about him in 2005:

Spring Break on Daytona Beach in 1962
NBC’s “Rock Center” pulled a video from the NBC vault of a news program showing what Spring Break was like on Daytona Beach, Florida in 1962. I have to say, even the rebels looked pretty straight-laced back then.
