Morality Statistics

I think it is interesting that only a little over 1/3 of women surveyed think abortions are morally acceptable, while about 70% of all people surveyed think divorce is acceptable.

Why are the conservatives spending so much time fighting against homosexuality - shouldn't they be saying something about divorce?

I think if you looked at history, you would find that there were a lot of movements to try and thwart the divorce trend but because of the women's lib movement, it was at an untimely moment in history. That battle has been lost now and there isn't any way to return. I think conservatives see that pattern with many things in our culture and would like to fend off the next wave, which looks to be the homosexual agenda.

Now there is no one around you analyzing deep fulfilled Christological theological concepts, but there are plenty of Greek voices and new philosophical ways of contemplating life's happenings, there are Jewish commentaries, and there are the conversations that have happened along the roadside.

Last time the Middle School breakfast club met a middle school student led his peers in a devotional that went through the various stories of Jesus sharing food with his disciples. This Sunday we are going to focus on one of those stories and how it relates to Easter. Opening: 1. Ask, “Have you ever helped plan a party?” a. Ask the students to share about the various things they did to prepare (send invites, decorate, blow up balloons, set the table, plan games, order food). 2.

Sabbath

Genesis 2:2-4 (The Message) 2-4 By the seventh day God had finished his work. On the seventh day he rested from all his work. God blessed the seventh day. He made it a Holy Day Because on that day he rested from his work, all the creating God had done. This is the story of how it all started, of Heaven and Earth when they were created. If God the greatest worker rested, why don't we?
