• Want to See What CSCOPE and Common Core (Even Homeschooling) Lessons Look Like? These Parents Opened Up to TheBlaze

  April 2, 2013 at 11:38am

  Home-based online or distance academies operated by charter schools or government schools are not real homeschools. Homeschool is parent-directed, not government directed.

• 9 Faith-Based (and Secular) Alternatives to the Boy Scouts of America Amid Furor Over Gay Ban

  Another great organization is Christian Service Brigade or Boy’s Brigade. see http://www.csbministries.org.

• Watch the Heartbreaking Music Video Starring a Minnesota Teenager Facing Just Months to Live

  Thank you for the beautiful song. For an encouragement to all of us, please read (just google it) “Don’t Waste Your Cancer” by John Piper. He had prostate cancer.

• 6 (Potential) Reasons Romney Lost the 2012 Presidential Election

  November 7, 2012 at 4:06pm

  Republicans need a young Ron Paul-type person committed to the Constitution, Small Limited Government, Personal Freedom, and State’s Rights. Remember how popular Ron Paul was with the youth?

• 10 Questions the Media Never (or Rarely) Ask Pro-Choice Candidates About Abortion

  October 26, 2012 at 1:37pm

  This question is about people born to victims of rape or incest: “Are you willing to conduct a survey of people born out of rape or incest to ask if they are happy to be alive, and happy that they were not aborted?”

• New Study: Contraception Saves Women’s Lives (& The Gates Foundation Agrees!)

  July 11, 2012 at 3:56pm

  Think through this policy logically. All mothers risk their lives to give birth to a child. They risk even death. So, giving them contraception tools will lead to fewer births while at the same time reducing the risks of pregnancy. So, according to this policy, the cost of reducing maternal mortaility is less births. This sounds strange. Instead, funding should go for pre-natal and maternal care. Rather, this policy sounds like an indirect way of controling developing country populations.

• ‘Pull This Out of Your Pocket, Throw It Into the Air’: See the Drone Modeled After a Maple Tree Seed

  Way too cool! Another example of God creating out of nothing, and humans creating new things because we are created in the image of God.

• ‘Very, Very Preliminary Result’: CERN Scientists Tentatively ‘Find’ Infamous God Particle

  July 4, 2012 at 7:57am

  Praise God! More specifically, we may call this the Jesus particle. For God’s Word says in Colossians 1:15-17, “He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all Creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” So, Jesus is supremum.

  Duty versus Delight and Christian Hedonism

  Glenn, maybe this will help to answer your question. See desiringgod dot org. God calls us to delight in Him so that we do things out of delight, not duty. Thus the person who delights in God is a Christian Hedonist, finding his greatest joy in Jesus. Pastor John Piper gives a great illustration about what giving your wife roses for Valentine’s Day would look like out of a sense of duty versus a sense of delight. Read the book “Desiring God” by John Piper.
