https://agyapw.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/general-election-called-and-the-westminster-2010-declaration
8230; needs a cool tagline …. Laquo; Why “Good” Friday? General Election called, and the Westminster 2010 declaration. And then post it in to the address on your form. They need to be received on or before the 20th April, so you have just under two weeks to register. Some Christians I know are a bit ambivalent about whether Christians should get involved in politics. Shouldn’t we be more concerned with the Kingdom of God than the kings of this age? Irreducibly and in principle opposed to the Word of God ...

Christian Medical Comment: Why Christians may eat shellfish but may not have sex outside marriage
http://pjsaunders.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-christians-may-eat-shellfish-but.html
Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Why Christians may eat shellfish but may not have sex outside marriage. An argument frequently advanced by those attempting to defend homosexual practice is that Christians ‘cherry pick’ the commands in the Bible – that is, they chose to emphasise some commands while ignoring others. The Old Testament may forbid homosexual acts (Leviticus 18:2; 20:13) but it also forbids eating seafood without fins and scales (Leviticus 11:9-12; Deuteronomy 14:9, 10). 8216;Everything that lives and...

http://pjsaunders.blogspot.com/2013/08/do-you-know-what-happened-to-girl-in.html
Sunday, 25 August 2013. Do you know what happened to the girl in this iconic Pulitzer prize winning photo from the Vietnam War? On 8 June 1972, a plane bombed the village of Trang Bang, near Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) in South Vietnam after the South Vietnamese pilot mistook a group of civilians leaving the temple for enemy troops. The bombs contained napalm, a highly flammable fuel, which killed and badly burned the people on the ground. The iconic black-and-white image. The first was that, despite s...
