New Statistics on Out of Wedlock Births

Although these statistics are preliminary, the article states they are not likely to change. 1.5 million births out of 4.1 million in 2005 were children born out of wedlock. This accounts for 37% of all births in the United States.

The Culture of Death and the Church of England

The Church of England apparently is heading in the direction of affirming euthanasia in certain circumstances when dealing with sick infants.

The Passing of a Church Member

Phil Crawford, a member of the church I Pastor, passed away yesterday afternoon. The attribute of Christ which Phil Crawford best demonstrated to me in the past two years was faithfulness. Phil Crawford was always among the first three to arrive at church. He taught Sunday School every Sunday morning until about three weeks ago. He probably has missed fewer Sunday Morning gatherings than I have in 2 years (about 4). And one time a month, on Sunday morning, he would minister at a rural nursing home. Phil Crawford died 91 years of age.

Rest in Peace, Phil Crawford, we will miss you.
