Ochuk had another great article posted on Relevant Magazine. That boy is kickin some great theology on the Trinity. Check it out. Favorite excerpt:

The Father was pleased to crush the Son in order to adopt us into His family. And because we have been made sons (and daughters), the Father sends His Spirit into our hearts with overflowing love that speaks the most precious of truths, ³Abba, I belong to you.² Even in the face of unimaginable adversity when one is tempted to despair, the certainty of adoption grounds the believer in the promise and guarantee that we are God¹s possession. And that one day we will be resurrected and transformed into what Paul calls the ³Praise of His glory.² This is our inheritance.

Good job Adam.

So I got rid of the “quick links” section on my sidebar. Does this bother anyone immensely? If so, I’ll put it back, and here it is again (updated) for now. But I was just curious if anyone cared if i moved it back to my Links page.

I know this site used to be a “front door” of sorts into our little blogdom… wasn’t sure if that was still the case.

So, in January, I did A couple of blogs about abortion. Some of them got me a lot of flak, but most of them went pretty much unheeded.

Can you defend your stance on abortion, whatever that stance may be? Defend it with logic and reason, rather than emotion? Just curious.

Cool story about a woman who made a nobel choice: Tasha Danvers-Smith gives up shot at an olympic medal to be a mother. She is one of the best hurdlers in the world. She had qualified for the olympics, and then withdrew. Why? Because she and her husband got pregnant.

“I cannot lie, I considered an abortion. On the one hand you look at the situation and say, ‘I can have a baby and incur more costs, more problems.’ We don’t even have a house yet, we are staying with Darrell’s parents. And I am the major breadwinner. “When my body is my business, then if my body is not functioning, there is no business. “So the thought did cross our minds as an option. But this line from the Scriptures kept coming into my head: ‘For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’.

I mean, who would have faulted her for having an abortion? It would make sense, financially, emotionally, career-wise? This was her dream, her life, her goal!

Fortunately Mrs. Danvers-Smith is looking to something a lot more solid than economics, personal advancement, and human reason for making this decision.

I applaud you, Tasha Danvers-Smith.

Dan Benson (different Dan) had a great post this morning. A great example of reading through a piece of scripture and really meditating on it. Check it out. I think it something we all should examine in our lives from time to time.

THEY and me

Now, I’m not ever one to give the Daily undue credit, but this article by some dude named Luke, is hillarious!

Let’s all get dumber with the MTV Movie Awards.

I mean, the subject matter is fairly elemenatary, (taking pot shots at the ridiculousness of the MTV movie awards), but hey, I laughed.
