Some serious Christianity in action– Mike, a police officer, gives material and spiritual help to a prostitute addicted to heroin.

The anti-war movement was really just the anti-President Bush movement – What other explanation is for their comparative silence now that Obama is President?  More here about the Code Pink hawks whose reasoning sounds similar to that given for the current Iraq strategy.  Of course, they hated those decisions.

“Tolerant” and “open minded” college student group votes 25-2-2 to ban pro-life speaker– The decision was bad enough, but look at the voting margin!   That type of not-so-free speech is coming soon to a country near you.  They are a self-parody, pretending to be open minded but trying to prevent the opposition from speaking.

Rich Karlgaard from Forbes is my favorite business columnist.  He writes a column and a blog and in addition to provocative business insights he deftly works in spiritual themes at times (not what you’d expect from a secular mag like Forbes).  Here’s a recent post where he highlights a video that he thought applied to business as well as the church.  I liked the video on its own merits but wanted to highlight how Rich just “happened” to pass along a Gospel presentation to an audience that wouldn’t normally hear it. 

P.S. The host in the video was John Ortberg, a terrific author.
