This past week, I shared the following links on social media and I think they’re worth sharing here too:

Are Things Getting Worse?

Reuben Bredenhof: “Is our world really in a state of precipitous decline?”

Canada’s Healthcare System And Medical Assistance In Dying

This is government-funded child sexual abuse. Just a few years ago, this pervert would have been thrown into prison.

FROM THE VAULT

Homosexuality, the Bible, 1946 and all that

“I’m just going to say it, no holds barred: one of the shallowest objections to traditional Christian sexual ethics is that “the Bible didn’t even use the word ‘homosexuality’ until 1946.” I’m gobsmacked that people actually get taken in by this special sort of tomfoolery. I know a lot has been written on this canard already, but it can only aid the cause of truth to get one more voice sharing the facts.”
