My Two Recent Interviews

Hey there! 

I recently had two interview in close succession.  The first was with Catholic Radio Indy.  You can find that one here:  LINK

Can Christian Adoption Agencies Be Defended? - Part II

In a [previous post], I began looking at a defense for Christian adoption agencies which exclusively prefer Mother+Father homes.  These adoption agencies have found themselves under increasingly regular attacks over the past decade - the latest being in New York.

The first essay focused on the logic and implications of the debate.  Namely, if you say same-sex parenting is just as good as Mother+Father parenting, you're saying motherhood and fatherhood are indistinct, interchangeable, and (of themselves) unnecessary.  Plus, it means any belief in the uniqueness of motherhood and fatherhood is a form of superstition and bigotry.

Common sense rebels against that conclusion.  But some would have you believe it has been rigorously proven by modern social science.  That's what I want to begin considering today.

The Scandalous Lesson of Old Testament Kings

Back in the Lent of 2012, my Lenten devotion was to read the Old Testament for a half hour every day.  The Old Testament can be troubling in many ways, but I found a few lessons in there which gave me great comfort.  Lessons which I’ve been reflecting on recently.

Today I’d like to share one of them.
