When I was in India teaching, I encountered many strange and exotic things. It is said that India assaults all of your senses at once. This was in a way true for me.

Beauty, says philosopher Roger Scruton, "is never viewed with indifference." Those words ring true after this week's Newsweek article that purports to offer evidence that employers are more likely to hire attractive people.

The adoption agency Bethany Christian Services says interest from couples in adopting is significantly ahead of what it was last year, a trend that is being seen elsewhere and, adoption leaders say, is an example of a growing adoption movement among Christians.

Born Again has far too much studio spit and shine. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for an album of catchy pop songs. But something about this collection feels a little too contrived—even a little safe and boring.

A moral and just immigration policy should reflect God's attitude towards immigrants. To paraphrase Kepler, man is at his best when he "thinks God's thoughts after him."

In a world where what's increasingly being required of Christians goes beyond "tolerance" to actual participation in activities contrary to God's law, we must be prepared to say "no."
