Planned Parenthood hits a new low (yup it is possible)
Most people should me familiar with planned parenthood. They are the pro-abortion, “safe sex” group that teaches sex education and hands out condoms to students. This wonderful organization is funded by the govenment thus payed for by you and I in the form of taxes.
If you are not already on the verge of vomitting, it gets better! Planned Parenthood has recently started a website called “take care of down there” ( I am not providing the link. Google it if you must.) On this website, there are several small videos in where the “authority” figure gives teens advise about sex. One clip implys a sexual act between two men and another is a song containing all the slang words used to describe both male and female reproductive systems. This is just the stuff I want my taxes to pay for! Is this really what we want our teens to learn?Even if you are not a Christian, why would you want to have you kids know all the fun slang words?
To make things even better, on top of the government paying for this crap, abstinace programs may not be getting their funding. My friend works for the local worth the wait and his job is currently in limbo because their government grant has not been renewed. So we can pay for PP to condone permiscuity and homosexuality but heavan forbid the gov pay for someone to say wait till marriage.
As Christians, we should be up in arms but of all the sites I read, there is only one email newletter I have recieved. I am not sure how but this thing needs to be stopped. Any ideas?
God bless and fight the good fight,

Mark Driscoll and Relationships
In the last few weeks of the relationship class, we will be listening to three sermons by Mark Driscoll:
Mark is a little more…. open about the talk of sex than Harris. My hope by listening to these sermons is to spark a open discussion about sex and the physical side of relationships.
God bless,

Joshua Harris “Purity” part 4 slight book recap
Here is Part 4 of the series on Purity.
The book has so far been very insightful. Josh starts out with telling of a girl at the alter. as Her groom begins to say his vows, a line of girls walk up to the isle and hold his hand.
“I thought your heart was mine”
“It is, it is” he pleaded. “Everything thats left is yours”
This puts the risks of the dating game in perspective. The reactions to this dream from my class were that of amazment. It seemed like they were shocked that their actions now could eventually affect their marriage.
In the other chapters of Part one, he highlights 7 habits of defective dating and 5 attitude changes to avoid defective dating.
They are very great principles and josh does a good job of bringing to light the problems with society’s’ view on dating.
I would tell you more but you should really read the book. Its pretty cheap and worth it.
If you are reading or have read the book I would love to hear your thoughts on the first section. Also, any thoughts/testimonies you have on dating and on the topic of “to date or not to date”. I want to see what everyone thinks and I will give my thoughts later.
God bless,

Relationships: Dating, Waiting and Mating
Hi all,
As some may know, I am a youth leader at my church and just this week we began a set of classes on various subjects. I am teaching a class on relationships which I named “Relationships: Dating, Waiting and Mating”. My heart for the class is to share the experiences I have had dating and to tell how the Bible says we should date. We will be using the book “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” by Joshua Harris as well as sermons from him and Mark Driscoll. I will be using my site to post the related maerial for my class to link to but all are encouraged to listen to the sermons and get the book. FOR MY CLASS: I would like to use this site for you all to post any questions or thoughts you have while reading the book and listening to the sermons. Please leave comments with your thoughts and questions and each week I will pull them off here and talk about them in class. All of my other readers are also encouraged to comment as well. If anyone would like to follow along with my class, I have made a new page with the syllabus and class description and I will be posting the sermons each week as well as a chapter review on the Monday after a section is due.
I hope everyone is as excited about this as I am!
God bless,
Anthony
If you have an opinion, your a LEGALIST!
I am sick and tired of being called Pharisaical or that I am legalistic every time a make a statement about a “emergent’ type ministry!
This all started when Way of the Master Radio (WOTM) spoke about an ad made by xxxchurch.com. In the ad, there is a puppet named Pete the Porno Puppet and his friend is Ron Jeremy, a porn legend who sees nothing wrong with porn. The 30 second spot includes the puppet saying the word pornography in a mocking tone a few times as well as guest Jeremy saying that porn is consenting adults having consenting sex for consenting adults to watch. Needless to say, WOTM did not agree with their methods or the message. xxxchurch (X3) posted a fairly grumpy blog about WOTM and how they didn’t care what people thought but decided it was wise to publish the ministries phone number and email for hate mail. I found it amusing that they said that they would not bash wotm but they said the host had no courage.
I love X3’s accountability software called x3watch but I don’t agree with their methods such as Pete or Wally the Wiener (a huge blow up penis). As usual with any other fairly emergent ministry, as soon as someone posted a comment to their blog x3 was more than ready to say that Jesus was cutting edge and if you disagree with them you are being legalistic (interesting how they can never be in the wrong).
If you say that a huge blow up penis is a little much for a Christian ministry they are quick to bring up Jesus overturning tables but if you think that street preaching is good they will tell you that you are being too in your face…. since when did a 15 foot penis become a every day occurrence??
I am not saying that nothing X3 does is ever right nor am I say that wotm is perfect (blog on them coming soon) but isn’t it possible for two ministries to disagree without one being told they are legalistic. If x3 stands behind their tools that’s fine but why all the nasty comments?
I would love to hear your thought on either ministry or their tools as well as the fact opinions no longer seem to be allowed without someone being legalistic.
God bless,
Anthony
