Preserving Tanzanian Music: A Christian Duty

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 12:13 am By Nick Rynerson

Last week, NPR ran a fascinating story about a radio station in Tanzania. Radio Tanzania used to be the only radio station in the entire country and deeply embedded in the national identity. After the nation gained their independence, the radio station became a source of cultural identity for Tanzania: Radio Tanzania was to be the soundtrack of African socialism under the country’s first president, Julius Nyerere. This was Tanzanian music — not imperialist American, not colonial European. It was... Read more

The Mind of a Pedophile

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 12:06 am By Brad Williams

You don’t want to read this article, but you really must. I am a pastor, and the safety of our children is of paramount importance to me, and I am sure it is to you as well. “In Plain View” will help you understand how a pedophile operates as a predator, and knowing this information can keep you from being duped. The average pedophile is not some dirty old man luring in children with candy. He is a doctor, or... Read more

The Forgotten War to the South

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 12:20 pm By Alan Noble

A few weeks ago, right before the Foreign Policy Presidential Debate, I made the case that the most pressing foreign policy issue to be ignored in the debate would be our declining relationship with Afganistan, a nuclear nation. It turns out that the candidates did touch on Afganistan during the debate, although the discussion was hardly illuminating. While it is still true that our next president will need to firmly and ardently pursue better diplomatic relations with Afganistan to avoid potential... Read more

The Pro-Family Irony of Dan Savage

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 6:15 pm By Nick Rynerson

Recently The Atlantic did a write up on Dan Savage, one of America’s most influential homosexuals. Savage is a popular sex columnist and has written books and been featured on almost every big news outlet. But, despite his open homosexuality, Savage takes an interestingly uncommon approach to family & parenting: Savage promotes the nuclear family unit because he believes that it is a healthy model for everybody: gay couples, straight couples, children. … Savage says, “It’s really straight guys who...
