I found lots of interesting things to read this week, all them fairly brief. Right now, because of all the commotion regarding the overturning of Proposition 8 in California, writers have some interesting things to say about that subject. Carl Trueman, at Reformation 21has an interesting piece on what we, as Christians, need to be thinking about as culture overwhelmingly comes to accept homosexuality and gay "marriage" as legitimate lifestyle choices.
And you may note that I've been putting quotation marks around the word marriage when I write gay "marriage." That's because of an intriguing piece at American Thinker that makes the case that our argument against gay marriage should be that it doesn't exist. I've never heard this line of reasoning before, and it's compelling, especially among those who wouldn't accept biblical arguments against homosexuality and gay marriage.
And finally, we hear that young people are leaving the church in droves, despite the current focus on relevancy and the efforts to be authentic. In this Wall Street Journal column, Brett McCracken, whose book on this subject recently released, offers some interesting insights.
