Yes, Pro- Choice IS Pro- Abortion
Recently, a photo made the rounds on social media (especially Facebook) that showed total ignorance of the whole pro-choice movement. The main part of the pictured stated, “Pro-Choice Does Not Mean Pro-Abortion.” The picture’s caption then stated, “It simply means that it’s none of our business what a woman decides.” Of course, the picture has been shared and “liked” thousands of times. After all, who are we to tell a woman what to do with her body? How can I possibly tell a woman that she should–or should not–terminate the pregnancy when I do not know her experience (either in how she became pregnant or in how this baby might/would…

Universalism and Social Media
We are in a time in human history in which the influence and acceptance of Universalism as at an all-time high. The basic idea behind Universalism is that religion as a whole is a human quality that exists in every human being. Thus, regardless of your beliefs and practices, whatever your religion happens to be, it is acceptable and it ought to be embraced with an attitude of inclusiveness. The basic problem with this viewpoint is that God, although wanting to be all-inclusive (desiring to save all mankind – 1 Tim. 2:3-4), is in reality quite exclusive. God chose Jesus alone to be man’s only way to come to the…

Which Is the Greater Tragedy?
“Brought forth to the place of execution, he was tied to the stake, strangled by the hangman, and afterwards consumed with fire, at the town of Vilvorde, A.D. 1536…” Who was this awful criminal? What horrible crime did he commit against society? The man’s name was William Tyndale. The quote above is found in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (p. 184). It is a portion of the account of Mr. Tyndale’s brutal execution. This execution took place because he translated the New Testament into the English language. He wanted the common people of his day to have access to God’s Word. It will not be too many years before five centuries…

The Altitude of Gratitude
I’ve said it. I’ve heard it said countless times. And, for some reason, nearly every time I have heard it or said it myself, it seems to be spoken in a way that makes it sound cool. It’s the phrase “attitude of gratitude.” It’s catchy. It rhymes. And it is important. It is a powerful thing that we cultivate that attitude in our lives; an attitude that shows thanksgiving more and more often. It is a difficult attitude to have on a constant basis, but it leads to something even greater. It leads to the altitude of gratitude. We never soar higher in our lives than when we are people who…

The Universal Church
As you begin to read this short article, please do me a favor. Please do not think in any way that I believe that I know more than other people just because I have been out of the country. Please do not think that I am prejudiced against any person in this part of the country. Please understand that this article is being written out of a pure heart and sincere love for God and His people. With these things in mind, I would like to address some problems that exist in the minds and hearts of many Christians. 1. Unfortunately, there are many Christians who do not have a…

Will You Trade Places with Me?
About a month ago, we had a native of Antigua, Guatemala as a guest speaker where I preach. During his lesson, our brother made what seemed to be an off-hand remark. It didn’t seem “scripted.” It just seemed to happen. At one point in his presentation, he was talking about our nation. He shared with us his opinion that we are blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world. He made it clear that his opinion was that of an “outsider.” Brother Isaacs was also talking about the fact that he is not a citizen of our nation. During the portion of his presentation in which he was talking about our nation, he made…

A Master Grocery List for Busy Moms {Free Printable}
On A Legacy of Faith, we want to help families, and one of our goals is to help families “survive the day.” Today, I have something to help with that. As a wife and mother, I have a lot of responsibility on my shoulders, and one of those responsibilities is making sure supper gets on the table every night. It is something that I am trying to take more seriously. You know as well as I do that getting supper on the table every night actually begins with a menu plan and a good grocery list. Maybe it’s just me, but more often than not, I have the kids with…
