Series of videos released by the Center for Medical Progress in attempts to expose Planned Parenthood in the illegal sale of aborted fetal tissue have certainly generated controversy, and it is chilling to think that such kinds of negotiations would even take place. CNN reports seven videos have been released. Eric Ferrero, Vice President of Communication, Planned Parenthood of America suggest the Center for Medical Progress has “close ties with organizations and individuals who have been linked to the firebombing of abortion clinics and threats to the physical safety of doctors who provide abortion” and their “real agenda” is “to ban abortion and limit women's access to reproductive health care at Planned Parenthood.” CNN also indicates that StemExpress, which “coordinates with clinics and hospitals to obtain human tissue and blood” has severed ties with Planned Parenthood. In spite of the damning videos, a few would contend Planned Parenthood has acted within the law. A Hu...

“Mommy, can I smash it with a hammer?” asked the boy. Mom, sees the roach, and says, “Yes, please do.” In the back of her mind she’s also thinking it’s time to call the pest control folks. If the “it” was the boy’s little sister, Mom’s answer would be “No, not ever!” Mom would then have to grapple how to help a child see the value of human life. What is it?

This is the basis for the Pro-life resistance to abortion on demand as a means of birth control. Hank Hanegraaff indicates that, “The living baby in the mother’s womb is a human being because he or she is the product of human paren...

The story of how on July 1, 2015 Cecil the Lion was lured out of his animal sanctuary in Zimbabwe and killed by an American big game hunter Walter Palmer has since sparked international attention by animal conservationists. The lion was a favored resident of Hwange National Park, and described as a national treasure. There are questions about the legality of the hunt, Palmer stands accused of poaching, and he faces possible extradition to stand before his accusers. I think that the killing of Cecil should be something Christians need to grapple. I fail to see how this would be some kind of misguided sense on the sanctity of life, as if concern for the preservation of wildlife takes our eyes of the killing of life in the womb via abortion. Both are legitimate concerns. “Cecil the lion at Hwange National Park (4516560206)” Christians really need to consider the matter of Cecil and the conservation of threatened and endangered species because that is the natural outworking of a r...
