I’ve been an avid Gmail user for many years now. It is by far the best e-mail provider that I have ever seen. You would think that it would be impossible to improve upon perfection, but Google has done it. See above.

A Resurrection Day Poem
O Jesus, Savior of my life, My hope, my joy, my sacrifice, I’ve searched and found no other one Who loves me more than you have done. (John 15:13)

Planned Parenthood spokesperson supports infanticide
The video above is just too shocking for words, but make no mistake. It is the logical implication of the pro-choice position. If an unborn baby at 7-months has no right to life inside the womb, then why would he have a right to life outside? Consistent pro-choicers know this, and that’s why some of them—like the Planned Parenthood spokesperson above—has no problem supporting infanticide. Here’s the report from The Weekly Standard:

What I observed this week in the debate about gay marriage
This week has been a watershed moment for the fortunes of marriage in our culture. I’ve been following the discussion with great interest, including listening to oral arguments that were made before the Supreme Court on Tuesday and Wednesday (here and here). Without question, the most significant thing that I have noticed in debates both inside and outside the Court has been the utter lack of moral argument. This was brought home in spades on Wednesday when Justice Elena Kagan highlighted a statement made by the House Judiciary Committee in 1996 when the Defense of Marriage Act was passed. Here are the critical lines:

President of Midwestern Seminary enters blogosphere
Until very recently, Dr. Jason Allen was a colleague with me here at Southern Seminary. Last year, however, he took the helm as president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has a vision for Midwestern that it serve the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. To that end, he has launched a new website this week. He’s already gotten several items posted, including the beginning of a series on theological education.

How not to have a debate about gay marriage
One of the things that has become increasingly clear in the debate about gay marriage in this country is that proponents do not really want to have a debate. They have already decided that traditional marriage supporters are ignorant rubes at best or bigots at worst. In either case, there is no reason to take traditional marriage supporters seriously, and they can be safely dismissed as a part of a dying minority.

Congratulations to Russell Moore, President-elect of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission
The SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has just announced the election of Russell Moore as its next President. Here’s the lede from the announcement on the ERLC’s website: Russell D. Moore has been elected as the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission by the entity’s board of trustees. Moore will follow Richard Land as the eighth president of the ERLC, which is the Southern Baptist agency dedicated to addressing social and moral concerns and their implications on public policy issues. Moore will begin his new responsibilities June 1. At that time, Land will become the entity’s president emeritus, an honor bestowed on him…

The Supreme Court shows its on hand on its forthcoming gay marriage ruling
As you no doubt have heard, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments today on the question of gay marriage (audio below and transcript here). At issue is California’s 2008 law banning gay marriage, Proposition 8. A lower court has struck down this law duly enacted by California voters, and now the question is whether or not SCOTUS will uphold the lower court or overturn it.

How to keep single-minded devotion to Christ when travelling alone
Many a “faithful” man has gone astray while traveling . Perhaps for business or even perhaps for ministry, travelling alone and being away from home are riddled with temptation and opportunities for moral failure. That is why I love Garrett Kell’s outline of what he does to prepare himself spiritually for taking trips. In short, he tends to his family, purity, and ministry every time he travels. This essay is well worth the read, and you can do so here.

Ryan Anderson on MSNBC talking about Gay Marriage cases before the Supreme Court
Ryan Anderson is one of the co-authors of the watershed book in favor of traditional marriage What is Marriage? He is one of the most articulate proponents of traditional marriage, and he appeared on MSNBC over the weekend to debate the issue. The program featured Anderson versus three advocates of legal gay marriage. When Anderson was allowed to talk, he did a fantastic job. But what is interesting about this exchange is how little the host and the other guests let him talk. Anderson’s rebuttals were cut off, but his opponents’ rebuttals were not. It was very clear that this was not an equal time thing. Both the moderator and…
