OK to kill disabled babies

Just plain wrong: “The Church of England has broken with tradition [sic] dogma by calling for doctors to be allowed to let sick newborn babies die.”

Old wine in new wineskins

Here are MP3 audio files of several Christian classics.

The root of worry

Last Sunday Pastor Arden Hodgins preached a sermon on the root of worry (MP3). I’d recommend listening to it; I found it quite edifying. This coming Sunday will feature the second half.
Update: The second half is available here (MP3).

Quebec evangelical schools forced to shut down?

Will evangelical schools in Quebec be forced to shut down if they do not teach sex and evolution?
Also, for what it’s worth, I added some of my (very poorly written) thoughts on the topic. My username is pchan1.

eBook versions of This Joyful Eastertide

OK, I have taken the responsibility of converting Steve Hays’ book defending the resurrection, This Joyful Eastertide, into portable eBook formats. The two big ones that work for almost anybody are Microsoft Reader (for those of us saddled with PocketPC or Windows Mobile devices, although they have a pretty handy reader for full-blown Windows [...]

Well, what are you waiting for?

Have you, O wealthy American (and if you are reading this and live in the US and aren’t the homeless guy who updates his blog from the local public library, then I am in fact talking to you, regardless of whether you feel wealthy), given $10 toward building a well in Africa for people who [...]

Letter to the little one

What a wonderful letter from a wonderful pastor! It was so good I had to post it on the front page. HT: Gene Bridges.

“None Other Lamb” by Christina Rossetti

[Music here.]
None other Lamb, none other Name,
None other hope in Heav’n or earth or sea,
None other hiding place from guilt and shame,
None beside Thee!
My faith burns low, my hope burns low;
Only my heart’s desire cries out in me
By the deep thunder of its want and woe,
Cries out to Thee.
Lord, Thou art Life, though I be [...]

You must be born again

“What am I the better if I can dispute that Christ is God, but have no sense of sweetness in my heart from hence that he is a God in covenant with my soul? What will it avail me to evince, by testimonies and arguments, that he hath made satisfaction for sin, if through [...]

Suicide torcher

In a move which appears to deliberately recall Buddhist monks protesting the Vietnam War, a German priest commits self-immolation in order to protest the growth of Islam in Europe: “Roland Weisselberg, 73, poured a can of petrol over his head and set light to himself in the grounds of the Augustine monastery in the eastern [...]

An outrageous cartoon

Sorry, the following just strikes me as so blatantly wrong and false that I simply have to comment.
A friend sends along a certain political cartoon. I won’t post it on our weblog. But basically it’s a cartoon of a Jewish construction crane building a wall in front of the Dome of [...]

“To the unknown God” revised

For what it’s worth, I’ve revised a past post entitled “To the unknown God.” I hope it reads better.

Legacy

This true tale is several months old, but still well worth reading.

Reasons why

We are nearing our second anniversary here at Talking Out Of Turn. That’s two years of trying to finish my testimony (which keeps growing while I am talking, which makes it difficult), two years of commenting on the state of the church and the state of our own lives as regards Reformation, and two [...]

This guy added us to his blogroll

We were added to the blogroll of this blog. I think he should have been on mine before I made his. I loved this post.
