		<title>Living Together and Marriage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patti Neighmond of NPR reports that more couples live together before marriage than ever before.  The figures show how far our culture has changed in just one generation.  But interestingly, couples who live together still tend toward marriage.  This trend distinguishes the U.S. from some European countries where unmarried couples may live together for decades without getting married or having children.

		<title>Reformation Heroes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reformation Heroes:  Written by Diana Kleyn with Joel R. Beeke
Today we are blessed to live in a country where we have little fear of physical or verbal persecution for our faith. We may read the Word of God without fear of punishment. We have the privilege of attending whichever church we desire and we may even encourage the public to come and join us for worship. This freedom has been all but common since the life of Christ and there is no reason to think that it will be ...]]></description>

		<title>Amused at our Predicament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dennis Prager has written a wake-up call to our society regarding our thoughts about modern families and respecting our elders.  The fodder is the recent Doritos Super Bowl ad.  He makes an interesting point.  Some of the things we laugh at as a society are some of the sadder points of our corporate existence.

		<title>Feeding Your Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m actually speaking of literal food this time.  Inka Leoni at My Modern Metropolis has written a post which includes some very interesting photos of what families throughout the world eat in a typical week.  When your week&#8217;s food is piled up in one place, it makes you wonder how well you consider the health of your family.  Let me humbly recommend Food, Inc. before you buy next week&#8217;s groceries.

		<title>WiFi on the School Bus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times reports on an experiment in Vail, AZ in which the school district has outfitted a school bus with a mobile WiFi router.  Interestingly, disciplinary problems have all but disappeared.  But one has to ask, is this really a productivity booster or are we further capitulating to the entertainment &#8220;needs&#8221; of today&#8217;s students?

		<title>Effective Abstinence Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Rector comments on a new report demonstrating the success of abstinence education programs in the face of the failures of so called &#8220;safe-sex&#8221; and comprehensive sex-ed programs.  What is most interesting is the response from the New York Times which capitulated to the study with the excuse that these successful abstinence education programs were &#8220;freed from the moralistic overtones and ideological restrictions.&#8221;  Rector goes on to list three violated non-negotiables that lead to this sort of reaction.

		<title>Trends in Media Use</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Kaiser Family Foundation has released their study of the use of media among 8 to 18 year olds.  The figures are simply astounding.  Just to highlight a few of the key findings, overall media use was up to &#8211; on average &#8211; 7 hours and 38 minutes per day while total media exposure was at 10 hours 45 minutes per day.  Many media categories saw increases in use, but music/audio was the biggest category gainer over the 2004-2009 time period.  One of the most interesting findings of the study ...]]></description>

		<title>Crucifixes, Images, and Paintings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following is an excerpt from John Owen’s The Glory of Christ. John Owen sheds great light on the theological and practical implications of the second commandment in the midst of a chapter explaining the difference between faith and sight.
Crucifixes, Images, and Paintings – An Imaginary Christ
I cannot refrain here from a necessary short digression. This transforming efficacy, from a spiritual view of Christ as proposed in the Gospel, being lost, as to an experience of it, in the minds of men carnal and ignorant of the mystery of believing ...]]></description>
