FRONT PAGE

lawyers VW says concerned parents ‘meaningless’
With a boycott already under way due to the company’s sponsorship of objectionable television programming, Volkswagen further incensed concerned parents by calling them “meaningless.”

COMMENTARY

Walking in Dad’s path
On a Saturday morning 50 years ago, I would often be found running down the sidewalks of Oneonta, Alabama, trying to keep pace with my dad. He was not tall, but Dad traveled in long, quick strides, setting a pace that demanded I pay attention and keep up.


CHRISTIAN HERITAGE

‘In God We Trust’ comes full circle in Arkansas town
Matthew Rothert would have been proud. After nearly 50 years and the onslaught of vast political and social changes in this country, there are today scores of posters proclaiming “In God We Trust” hanging in public school classrooms in Rothert’s home town of Camden, Arkansas.


DON'S COLUMN

Shall we have respectability at the loss of responsibility?
Back when I had the privilege of serving a local church as pastor, I would preach the same sermon two or three times over a period of months or years. The reason? Some things need to be said more than once, just as some things should never be said the first time.


FAMILY

Wisdom for rearing godly children
“I’m just a dad who loved his kids,” says Wayne Hastings, “and chose to get involved. I cannot overemphasize the need for dads and moms to get actively involved in their kids’ lives. I know there’s not time, but the clock is ticking.”

TELEVISION

Unreal reality TV
More polite than the cut-throat , Survivor (CBS), more proper than the sex-charged Temptation Island (Fox), more palatable than the foul Fear Factor (NBC), on which contestants ate live roaches. It was The Bachelor, ABC/Disney’s spring entry in the “reality TV” genre.



PRO-LIFE ISSUES

Cancer Cover Up?
It’s the stuff of a Robin Cook novel. The national medical establishment, apparently motivated by political correctness, covers up research that could cost thousands of women their lives. A small-town doctor stumbles across the evidence and the conspiracy of silence. Reluctant at first to believe it, he embarks on a personal investigation. Soon he’s caught in the middle of a storm of controversy that could cost him everything…


TIM'S COLUMN

Both life and ministry require constant funding
Sometimes I wish I had a whole lot of money. I do. Perhaps you have never had this feeling, but most people have. If not, I respect your piety, but please understand the rest of us are not necessarily bad people, we just like the idea of having a whole lot of money sometimes.
