    Albert Mohler Weighs-in on Limbaugh Apology

    I appreciate Albert Mohler’s remarks today about the Limbaugh controversy. Mohler says that Limbaugh’s apology was inadequate and that there are some lessons here for Christians: Words are a symbolic representation of character. Out of a man’s heart comes his words. And that’s where Mr. Limbaugh finds himself in trouble… Christians have to be very careful—to be reminded at all times that we are judged not only by our arguments but by the very words and phrases…that we deploy in making these arguments. As a formidable public figure, Mr. Limbaugh can fend for himself. I for one would wish that he had not even in his apology suggested that in…

    Spurgeon on the Reproach of Believer’s Baptism

    “If I thought it wrong to be a Baptist, I should give it up, and become what I believed to be right… If we could find infant baptism in the word of God, we should adopt it. It would help us out of a great difficulty, for it would take away from us that reproach which is attached to us,—that we are odd, and do not as other people do. But we have looked well through the Bible, and cannot find it, and do not believe that it is there; nor do we believe that others can find infant baptism in the Scriptures, unless they themselves first put it there.”…

    Why Wasn’t Ms. Fluke Allowed To Testify?

    Make no mistake. The pro-abortion, feminist left has been manipulating the narrative about the HHS mandate. That is why a piece written by Byron York over the weekend is so important. York explains why Ms. Fluke wasn’t allowed to testify in the first place. The entire affair began as an effort by partisans to spin a congressional hearing about religious liberty into a forum for the oppression of women. It worked.
