Justice Ginsburg on Abortion & Eugenics

Last updated on: July 21, 2009 at 5:15 am By Gene Veith

You have got to read Michael Gerson on what Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the New York Times Magazine: “Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.” A statement like this should not be taken out of context. The context... Read more

Christ of the Desolate Places

Last updated on: July 20, 2009 at 7:00 am By Gene Veith

What a church service we had Sunday–two baptisms (a baby and an adult) on top of the regular absolution and Holy Communion and a really good sermon. It was onMark 6:30-44, the feeding of the five thousand. If you read it, you will be greatly blessed. Here is the opening: Three times today we are told that Jesus and His disciples were in a desolate place. Three times. Mark wants to make sure we know that. And that Jesus is... Read more

Tom Watson, our hero

Tom Watson came in second at the British Open, after losing a four-hole playoff to Stewart Cink. But still, what a performance for a 59-year-old in a major sporting event! He beat a field of 154 young whippersnappers, the best golfers in the world, including Tiger Woods. We fifty-somethings can take great encouragement from Watson’s performance. Read more

Walter Cronkite, journalist

Last updated on: July 20, 2009 at 6:34 am By Gene Veith

The Platonic ideal of an anchorman, Walter Cronkite, died at 92. When I was growing up, we would all gather round each evening for the CBS Evening News, and even though there were only four TV channels, the nation seemed better informed than they are today. Because the news had to be sifted to fit the half-hour time frame, the news then was meaty–no celebrity gossip and no fluff pieces–and Cronkite’s sonorous voice explained it all. One of my wife’s...

Back to the moon

Last updated on: July 20, 2009 at 6:00 am By Gene Veith

Today is the 40th anniversary of a human being walking on the moon. Charles Krauthammer says we simply must go back to the moon. In the course of his argument, he recounts that “Michael Crichton once wrote that if you told a physicist in 1899 that within a hundred years humankind would, among other wonders (nukes, commercial airlines), “travel to the moon, and then lose interest . . . the physicist would almost certainly pronounce you mad.” It so happens...

I’ve learned about some first-rate resources and sources of resources that I wanted to let you know about: C. F. W. Walther was the founder of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, a man whom historian Mark Noll has described as one of the greatest theologians on American soil. The LCMS back then published a periodical entitled Der Lutheraner (“the Lutheran”), which was completely written by Walther, consisting of reflections on theology and pastoral care that are still relevant today. Too... Read more

Amish fiction & Christian vampire novels

Last updated on: July 17, 2009 at 5:30 am By Gene Veith

0 Comments

The Associated Press has an article on the biggest thing in Christian fiction: novels about the Amish. Also Christian vampire novels. The undisputed industry leader is so-called Amish fiction — typically, romances and family sagas set in contemporary Amish communities. They’re a surprise hit with evangelical women attracted by a simpler time, curiosity about cloistered communities and admiration for the strong, traditional faith of the Amish. The success of the genre has spawned not just new Amish fiction authors but... Read more

Are these words of responsibility or socialism or what? From The Associated Press: Obama takes possession of economy: With four simple words — “Give it to me!” — President Barack Obama took possession of the economy. For months, the White House and Obama’s economic team have laid the economic crisis at the feet of President George W. Bush. But there comes a point in a presidency when inheritance becomes ownership. Obama made that pivot Tuesday in Michigan, the state suffering... Read more

Towards a new scientific worldview, part 4: Why I bring it up

Last updated on: July 16, 2009 at 6:00 am By Gene Veith

Let me just repeat for all to see what I replied to tODD when he asked me why I was so fascinated with Dr. Lanza and his book Biocentrism: I’m not fascinated with the man and his book, I’m fascinated at how even some atheist scientists are trying to form a new worldview that is non-materialistic to account for intelligent-design observations such as the Goldilocks effect and the strange findings of quantum mechanics. I am also fascinated that a Biblical... Read more
