This Week in Christian News - 1/23/09

Pulling favorites from the feeds in the right columns:



Was Rick Warren's Invocation Less Inclusive Than He Let On?

If splitting hairs were like splitting atoms, the world would be annihilated after the whining that comes from U.S. News and World Report on Rick Warren's "inclusive" prayer.

Amnesty calls on UK government to help Obama shut Guantanamo

Amnesty International and liberal Christians fight to free murderers.

Methodist anger at Government’s ‘immoral’ gambling proposals

Methodists in England take an unusually conservative position against gambling. Wouldn't you know? My church finally takes a conservative position on something and it messes up my poker playing. Remember the greatest of the laws: Thou shall not go all-in with less that three-of-a-kind.

Abortion Film '22 Weeks' Disturbs, Exposes

If you think abortion is cool, you need to go read this. The movie is "based on a true account of a woman who sought a late-term abortion but found herself living a nightmare."

Angela, the mother, changed her mind when she saw her baby, who was born alive, but the abortion clinic refused to help her and even tried to turn away 911 assistance.

I don't believe I'll actually be able to watch the movie. Just reading about it is horrible enough.

A Prayer for President ItalicObama

We know that you and you alone are sovereign; that you rule over all, and that you alone are able to keep and defend us. We know that our times are in your hands, and that "the king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord" [Proverbs 21:1].

Okay, so that's actually directed at the real God and not the new messiah, but it's funnier this way. Actually, you should go read the entire prayer, a very worthwhile endeavor.

1400 Flowers to be Placed in Front of White House Today in Honor of 1400 African American Children Slain Each Day Through Abortion

Obama praises Roe decision on anniversary

Per the "Magic Negro" as the L.A. Times likes to call him:

On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose.

Which brings us to our last article for the week in review:

Evangelical Alliance to send new Bible to Obama

That's great because apparently the one he has contains very poor translations regarding commandments not to kill and to defend the innocent.
