Must Reading

If you read one thing on the Internet today or this week or this month, let it be this morning's commentary by Al Mohler, "The Scary Logic of Peter Singer." The topic of bioethics and eugenics may not be a favorite of yours, but as believers, we must be informed about how the culture thinks and how we are to respond in thought and action. True, Singer's position is obviously and tragically flawed and minor, but there are massive shifts taking place in our cultural mores (listen to the discussion about homosexual marriage and think about how different similar discussions were even five years ago), and what is minority opinion today may be accepted opinion tomorrow.

So read Mohler's commentary and beware of the influences of the culture on your own mind and affections.

What scares me is that my granddauther, and most unsaved people I know, would read this guy and see his "logic" --- totally missing the flaws.

We need the power of God and a greater sense of our own responsibility to be light.
