"Sexual abuse is disgusting, but it's not as harmful as the grievous mental harm of bringing children up Catholic in the first place." I've copied the rest of the article below to save it in case it disappears. (Originally posted here and HT to Jeremy). |

In the
first of Jehovah’s messages through Jeremiah, the tender-hearted
prophet, and recorded in Jeremiah 2, there are a number of touching
questions: “What is wrong in Me?” (v. 5); “Why not inquire of Me?” (v.
6); “The priests ignore Me, why?” (v. 8); “Is there any nation so
whimsical as you?” (v. 11); “Why do you act as a spoiled servant?” (v.
14); “Why have you forsaken Me?” (v. 17); “Why do you hanker after
Egypt?” (v. 18), etc. The whole of the message is a series of
challenging and searching queries. But surely none are so pointed and
full of meaning as “Have I become a wilderness unto Israel?” (v. 31).
The Lord a wilderness to His redeemed ones?

ESV Wife and HCSB Hebrews |

In my drawn out process of looking over Bibles I recently noticed two things worth mentioning. This afternoon I read through Hebrews in the HCSB and it was fantastic. The language was clear and tied the thoughtflow of the book together quite nicely (if you’ve ever slogged through the book with the NASB—my favorite translation—you’ll appreciate it). Yesterday I went through 1st Corinthians with the ESV and wondered why they chose “wife” in 1 Corinthians 11 instead of “woman” (which most other versions use). Lastly this passage from Titus makes me laugh in any version: "One of Crete's own prophets has said it: 'Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.' He has surely told the truth!" (TNIV) A Cretan saying “Cretans are always liars.” And Paul says “That Cretan didn't lie--he told the truth!!” I guess it gives me the geeky-giggles.

Mohler (HT: Tim-->Links Below) tells parents to be careful with television and children by first showing an excerpt from recent research showing a statistical relationship with autism and television viewing. People, don’t get me wrong—kids shouldn’t be spending hours in front of the TV, but honestly—Christians, just because you read a bit of research don’t immediately wave it as your banner!
