Videos and Articles: True Beauty, Money, Adoption, Sexual Sin, and Ben Stein

A number of worthwhile videos and articles have come to my attention lately, so I wanted to pass them on.

Check out this video, "Money Rant."

Have you seen the Ben Stein video, related to his movie Expelled? Or maybe you've seen the movie itself. If so, what did you think?

Here's another interesting video. You can also view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PWdW4BruF4



And then, here's five minutes with John Piper on the subject of adoption. He talks about his precious adopted daughter Talitha. You can also view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgNXQ2CazUg



And if you'd rather read than watch a video, here's a remarkable article from the Vital Signs blog that shows you where the prochoice movement has taken us. "Sex Selection Pregnancy Kits: The Latest Horror of the "Base New World."

This is an excellent article by David Powlison that addresses sexual sins and the deeper problems they are connected to: "Sexual Sin and the Wider, Deeper Battles" (PDF file)

Finally, some of you have been tracking the events in California: "Homeschoolers' setback sends shock waves through state." Wow. Parents aren't qualified to teach their children unless they have credentials from the state?
