The disparity of enrollment by gender varies by institution, but it is now estimated that almost 60% of all undergraduate students enrolled in American colleges and universities are women. This represents something altogether new in human experience since the rise of the university model as the dominant learning environment for young adults. For the first time, a generation of young women will be markedly more educated than their male generational cohort. Is this a bad thing . . . a negative development? Yes — and profoundly so. The problem is not the larger enrollment of young women in colleges and universities. The problem is the phenomenon of missing young men, whose absence spells big trouble for the future…. Biblical manhood requires that young men grow up, assume adult responsibilities, and prepare for leadership and service in the home, in the church, and in the larger society.

Gentlemen, preach the word! In season and out of season. Preach as it really is, the word of God. Call your hearers to receive it as it really is, the word of God, not the word of man.

NOW – Tim Tebow ad Supports Violence Against Women

In the two weeks leading up to Sunday’s game, the ad had been the subject of furious debate. Groups supporting abortion rights — including NOW and NARAL Pro-Choice America — condemned CBS for accepting the ad, the first political ad the network has accepted for a Super Bowl broadcast. NOW president Terry O’Neill said it glorified violence against women. “I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it,” she said. “That’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don’t find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself.”

Ridiculously Hilarious! (if it wasn’t so stupidly tragic)

Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have published best-selling books that speak to their belief that faith and religion poison society. But what would a world devoid of faith and religion look like – a world where all the Bibles have been taken and burned.

Touchstone Mag: Douglas Stone – The Audacity of the State

When I speak of the audacity of the state, the kind of state I have in mind is what we may call the savior state. The main characteristic of the savior state is that it presents itself as the people’s guardian, as the guarantor of the citizen’s well-being. The savior state is the paternal state, which not only sees to the security of its territory and the enforcement of its laws but also promises to feed, clothe, house, educate, monitor, medicate, and in general to care for its people. Some prefer to call it the nanny state, but that label fails to reckon with its inherently religious character. The savior state does have a religious character, precisely in its paternalism, and may even be comfortable with religious rhetoric.

Tim Tebow, the year’s best college football player, is starring in a mildly pro-life advertisement—“Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life,” it concludes—scheduled to air during the Super Bowl this Sunday. And the ruckus over that fact has been one of the strangest things to watch in years.

“…evidence seems to be piling up that the similarities are not nearly what has been advertised. Geneticist Richard Buggs has reflected on this, and has even predicted “that when we have a reliable, complete chimpanzee genome, the overall similarity of the human genome will prove to be close to 70% (and very far from 99%).”

Martyrdom: Two men preaching religion shot to death in Boynton Beach

Posted in Academia, Bible, Bible Doctrine, Biblical Languages, Biblical Themes, Blogs, Christianity, Churches and Ministries, Cultural Relevance, Faith, Family, Life, Love, Marriage, News, Personal, Politics, Relationships, Religion, Spirituality, Theology, Women on February 5, 2010 by ltbp

BOYNTON BEACH — Jeriah Woody executed two men who made the mistake of preaching religion to the 18-year-old, a witness has told police. Woody, who turned himself in to Boynton Beach police Wednesday, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the Saturday night deaths of Stephen Ocean, 23, and Tite Sufra, 24, near the Boynton Beach city library.

My hope is that Jeriah Woody would become saved as Saul (Paul), the murderer of Christians, did and win many to Jesus. Pray for Jeriah and pray for the families of Stephen and Tite.

Interesting quote: Jeriah Woody is not portrayed here as being alone in a crime. Ocean and Sufra are said to have made a mistake in preaching. Is this really the case? Did Sufra and Ocean make a mistake? Is it possible that they did exactly what they were supposed to do and died exactly as they were supposed to so that their deaths would be a tremendous testimony to the world?

Terrorism Derangement Syndrome: The GOP’s scare tactics work so well because the public is terrified already.

Why are Americans so scared of Terrorist tried as civilians?

America has slid back again into its own special brand of terrorism-derangement syndrome. Each time this condition recurs, it presents with more acute and puzzling symptoms. It’s almost impossible to identify the cause, and it’s doubtful there’s a cure. The entire forensic team from House would need a full season to unravel the mystery of what it is about the American brain that renders us more terrified of terrorists today than we were five years ago and less trusting of government policies to protect us. The real problem is that too many people tend to follow GOP cues about how hopelessly unsafe America is, and they’ve yet again convinced themselves that we are mere seconds away from an attack. Moreover, each time Republicans go to their terrorism crazy-place, they go just a little bit farther than they did the last time, so that things that made us feel safe last year make us feel vulnerable today.

We are not scared… we simply believe that foreign terrorists should not be tried on the U.S. citizens’ dime! They should be tried by their own people… it is degrading to the citizens of this world for America to be the police, judge and jury… Let these criminals and thugs be sentenced or jailed by their own people.
