From the New York Times

American women are wealthier, healthier and better educated than they were 30 years ago. They’re more likely to work outside the home, and more likely to earn salaries comparable to men’s when they do. They can leave abusive marriages and sue sexist employers. They enjoy unprecedented control over their own fertility. On some fronts — graduation rates, life expectancy and even job security — men look increasingly like the second sex.

But all the achievements of the feminist era may have delivered women to greater unhappiness. In the 1960s, when Betty Friedan diagnosed her fellow wives and daughters as the victims of “the problem with no name,” American women reported themselves happier, on average, than did men. Today, that gender gap has reversed. Male happiness has inched up, and female happiness has dropped. In postfeminist America, men are happier than women.

Who possesses the authority to admit a person to the Lord’s Supper or to ban the unrepentant sinner from it — the civil magistrates or the officers of Christ’s Church? The debate of this question led to one of the most pivotal showdowns in John Calvin’s ministry; and, in the end, those who adhered to the Scripture prevailed. For a thorough treatment of this important episode by Marcus Serven — one of our featured Reformation 500 speakers — click here.

I just received your catalog and was so moved, which has never happened reading a catalog before!

As I read through each description of the products, my eyes filled with tears.

Growing up I had a happy childhood but God was not the focus. I am in a wonderful marriage to a loving man and father, yet Godly leadership is not something he is very familiar with either.

Your products gave me hope that GOdly men are being raised up and hopefully my daughters can be blessed by them. I have hope to have inspiration in HOW to share this message of biblical girlhood with my 13 and 11 year olds. We do homeschool and try hard to talk about GOd but without proper training and knowledge ourselves, how would we do so?

Thanks so much, I hope to be able to purchase some of your products this year.

God bless your staff and the ministry I see clearly here.

Sincerely, Christa S.

Dear Friends:

Long-time home school leader and KONOS curriculum co-founder Jessica Hulcy was just in a serious car accident, and was hit by a small fire truck. My office was just informed that she is in critical but stable condition with collapsed lungs, internal bleeding, and some brain trauma.

Jessica was scheduled to be with me and other speakers at the Florida Parents Educators Association home school conference this weekend. Jessica and her husband Wade have been long-time friends and home school colleagues of the Phillips family. Her work has impacted many tens of thousands of families.

Please join us in praying for Jessica at this crucial time.

Gratefully, Doug and Beall

The Wanderer, May 14, 2009, p. 3

Hats Off To Howard Phillips by Dr. Christopher Manion

Nineteen years ago, President George H. W. Bush put everything aside to call personally numerous conservative and pro-life leaders around the country. That he lavished such attention on them was unusual, but Bush had campaigned vigorously as a pro-life candidate to succeed President Ronald Reagan in 1988, and the retirement of Justice William Brennan gave him his first opportunity to fill a seat on the Supreme Court.

The fact that it was Brennan’s seat conferred a special significance on the vacancy. After all, Dwight Eisenhower had appointed Brennan by mistake, one which he later lamented. Early in Ike’s first term, his Attorney General, Herbert Brownell, had seen Brennan give a speech to a legal convention. Brownell came back to Washington and told Ike that Brennan was quite a conservative. The only problem: Brownell did not know at the time that speechmaker Brennan was standing in for New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Vanderbilt, who was ill - and that Brennan was reading the text that had been written by Vanderbilt. Ike was looking for a conservative Irish Democrat to help him in the 1956 election, so Brennan got the nod.

Brennan was one of eight children of Irish Catholic immigrants, but he became an ardent champion of abortion - and an effective advocate of Roe v Wade, in which he voted with the majority. Curiously, when he died in 1997, his funeral was not held in his home diocese of Arlington, Virginia. Instead, in spite of protests of chagrin and outrage from the laity, the Archdiocese of Washington allowed him a Catholic burial, and Brennan’s funeral took place in Saint Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington.

Justice David Souter delivered the eulogy.

“Trust Me”

When Brennan retired, pro-lifers naturally expected President Bush to keep his word and nominate a strict constructionist to the court. That’s why Bush was busily making passionate calls all over the country. “Trust me on this one,” he repeatedly told conservative leaders. Alas, most of them did, some in spite of their better judgment, others ignoring danger signals like the strong support for Souter shown by his friend from New Hampshire, the notoriously pro-abortion Senator Warren Rudman. In the Senate Republican cloakroom, Rudman assured Senators Grassley (R - Ia.) and Helms (R - N.C.), “Chuck, Jesse, David Souter is just as conservative as you are.” (It is clear now that Rudman was either very dumb or a liar. Over the years before and since, he has paraded around Washington, invariably acting as though he were the smartest guy in the room. Draw your own conclusions). Meanwhile, Edith Jones, a young, brilliant, and constitutional judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, was waiting in the wings as the most solid conservative choice. But Bush’s chief of Staff, John Sununu, was also from New Hampshire. Ignorant in principle but a skilled tactician, he successfully short-circuited the selection process, with crafty assistance from Rudman, and Souter got the nod.

Enter Howard Phillips, founder and longtime president of the Conservative Caucus. Phillips had battle-tested experience with faux conservatives in Republican administrations who put the stiletto in the back of constitutional initiatives at the critical moment. Their number is legion. And so he alone, of all the conservative and pro-life leaders who had worked so closely and loyally with President Reagan, took the bull by the horns and went to the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify in opposition to Souter’s confirmation.

If He Walks Like A Duck ...

It required a sense of bravery, as well as conviction, for Phillips to make his case. After all, the National Organization of Women had testified against Souter the day before, because Souter’s support of abortion was not sufficiently brazen for them. Furthermore, Phillips knew that this was the very same committee, still dominated by Democrats and chaired by Joe Biden, that had savaged Judge Robert Bork when President Reagan nominated him to the Supreme Court in 1987. (Pennsylvania Republican, now Democrat, Senator Arlen Specter was indispensable in that assault).

Phillips began his testimony where he always has in the forty years and more that I have known and admired him: “The Declaration of Independence asserted that ‘we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights,’” he told the committee, “and that, ‘among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ The Declaration rested on the assumption that there exists ‘the laws of nature and of nature’s God,’” he continued. “Our law system is necessarily rooted in and legitimated by that fundamental recognition of higher authority.”

Based on that bedrock preamble of principle (after all, the truths that Mr. Phillips cited are supposed to be “self-evident”), Phillips zeroed in on the critical issue:

“One moment of truth for Mr. Souter came in February 1973, when, as a member of the board of trustees of Concord Hospital, he participated in a unanimous decision that abortions be performed at that hospital,” Phillips recounted. “It is one thing to intellectually rationalize the case for permitting legal abortions, while still opposing the exercise of such legal authority. It is quite another—something far more invidious, morally—to actually join in a real world decision to cause abortions to be performed, routinely, at a particular hospital.”

For Souter, The Self-evident Truth Isn’t True

But didn’t Roe v. Wade, issued just the month before Souter’s assent to abortions in the Concord Hospital vote, require him to “follow the law”? No way, said Phillips:

“Those abortions whose performance was authorized by David Souter were not mandated by law or court opinion. In fact, laws have remained to this day [1990, 17 years later] on the books in New Hampshire which provide criminal penalties for any ‘attempt to procure miscarriage’ or ‘intent to destroy quick child.’ Indeed, section 585:14 of the New Hampshire Criminal Code establishes the charge of second degree murder for the death of a pregnant woman in consequence of an attempted abortion. Nor were those abortions which Mr. Souter authorized performed merely to save the life of the mother, nor were they limited to cases of rape or incest.”

But might Souter’s Concord vote just have been an isolated mistake? No way. “Similarly, Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital, which is associated with the Dartmouth Medical School, of which Judge Souter has been an overseer, has performed abortions up to the end of the second trimester,” Phillips testified.

The inescapable verdict? “One must conclude that either Mr. Souter accepts the view that the life of the unborn child is of less value than the convenience and profit of those who collaborate in the killing of that child, or that, despite his recognition of the fact that each unborn child is human, a handiwork of God’s creation, he lacked the moral courage or discernment to help prevent the destruction of so many innocent human lives, when he had the authority, indeed the responsibility, to do so.”

In an ironic and ultimately malevolent way, the pro-abortion committee members were probably heartened by Mr. Phillips’s testimony. Yesterday’s confused and wayward harridans of NOW could not be sure that Souter was their man, but Mr. Phillips’s precise, logical presentation made that conclusion inescapable.

In the years since Roe v. Wade, support for abortion has been demanded of virtually every Democrat: now they are solidly entrenched throughout the government. Self-evident truths have not swayed them. Prayer can. “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Dear Doug: I love the pictures you post on the blog. I’m assuming you have a Digital SLR. What lens do you shoot most of your pictures with? Thank you, Ruthanne G.

Thanks for asking Ruthanne. One of the joys of our ministry is the many photographic opportunities that the Lord has given to us. We have a number of very accomplished photographers on staff, including one individual who helps to manage a photography training institute. But the vast majority of images you will find on Doug’s Blog are taken by yours truly. My favorite photographic tools are the Leica M8 with a 35mm or 75mm lens; and the Canon 5D, Mark II, with the 1.2 85mm. All of these lenses produce a beautiful image and are wonderful at creating a striking depth of field. The Leicas are and always will be the best, but the 1.2 85mm turned my heart to Canon. These are all professional tools, and they are pricey if you buy them new, but you can do what we like to do, and look for well-maintained used models and lenses on E-bay for significant savings.

This exciting, recently released DVD is on special sale for one more day as a part of the expanded Reclaiming the Culture DVD Collection. As the recently remade “Star Trek” film continues to rake in the millions and put new winds into the sails of utopian (as opposed to dystopian) evolutionary science fiction in cinema, Christians should be asking themselves how to approach science fiction, and how they might use this genre for the glory of God. Learn how on this DVD.

Dad:

Pro, tell me about your day with Momma at Gettysburg.

Providence:

Well...we found a puddle of mud, and we got to play in it. But it was pretty dry mud.

We did that charge...the Pickett’s Charge.

We played with soldiers, but Honor beat me...but now that I have more soldiers I can win the Civil War.

Momma got me some real bullets that were really shot. One of my bullets was round.

Oh, yeah, and I got to blow dandelions.

It is wonderful to come home again. But it is also hard.

There was a beautiful tree in the backyard of my boyhood home which after many decades of life is now gone. It has been replaced with a grassy plot of land, The uprooting of the tree makes me feel uprooted as well because I associate it with beautiful moments in my childhood. Across the street, the hundred acre orchard that I tended at the age of thirteen is now gone. There I picked tens of thousands of peaches, and cherries innumerable. There I earned my first wage and used it to purchase my first gold coin. It was there that I did the first interview of my life — with an eighty-year old man who was once the cub reporter that broke the Scopes Trial. It is all gone now — having been replaced by an elite neighborhood of two million dollar homes. I can not bring myself to look at the neighborhood when I drive by, lest the thousands of beautiful memories be sullied.

The world that you knew as a child looks different because civilization and technology does not stop. Time does not stop. This is different from truth — which does stand still. Truth never changes, even when circumstances do. True faith endures, even when it is tested. The same could be said of true love which is eternal — like the love of a father for his son or a son for his father. Truth, faith, and love transcend circumstances, and there is a great comfort in this. It means that there is stability in a changing world.

That is one of the reasons why the pictures we place on the walls and around our homes have such a value to our children. They lock certain moments in time and tie the present with the past. They remind us of the things we treasure deeply and always know to be true — things that time will never change, that reside deep in our hearts and which are most precious to us.

Last week I walked around my parents’ home — the home of my boyhood. I noted the pictures which have been on the walls for decades and they gave me great comfort. They also reminded me of how precious is this present season in life that we share together, and how we need to take the time to memorialize and rejoice in the truth, the faith, and the love that God bestows on us every day.

At the Pennsylvania CHAP home school conference, where I brought six messages this weekend, several former die-hard feminists approached me in response to my preaching from the Word of God to share their stories of how Christ had delivered them from the debilitating bondage and baggage of feminism, as well as the liberty and hope they feel today raising children for the glory of God and serving as helpmeets besides their husbands. Today, Jennie Chancey of Ladies Against Feminism posted this wonderful little article which I encourage you to read in full. An excerpt is below.

This feminist author is experiencing an eye-opening revelation — but it’s one that most of us stay-at-home wives and mothers have known and lived for years. If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a hundred times: a homemaker is not a drudge, a housekeeping automaton, a doll, or arm candy. A wife of vision understands that what she does impacts her family now and in the long term. None of the epiphany experienced by Basham comes as a surprise to women who embrace Proverbs 31 and live it to the fullest. A husband and wife dedicated to a single vision are far more effective and powerful than a divided household where each half pursues its own interests and goals. This is why a wife who submits to her husband’s vision and leadership is anything but a doormat—she is a powerhouse for serious, long-term success.

Good news, bad news, and then some more good news:

The good news is that the Bible extols the preciousness of deep, godly friendships, and their importance in the life of the man and woman of God. “There is a friend that loveth closer than a brother.”

And there is a type of friendship and love which runs so deep as to knit the hearts of friends together. Here is one example of a soul-stirring friendship:

”...The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house anymore. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.” I Samuel 18:1-3

How do such friendships emerge?

I am not fully sure. I am not sure because I believe that a soul-stirring friendship is a gift of God. There is a beautiful mystery attached to the origins of a friendship of which it can be said — “He loved him as his own soul.” Such friendships can not be forced or fabricated, but our lives are always the better for them. It seems to me that this type of a friendship requires a certain oneness of mind, a nobility of character, purpose, and vision, as well as shared experiences born out of real opportunities, adventures, and challenges. It also requires both friends to understand the “heart and soul” of the other, and to rejoice in what they see, not because they are blinded to each other’s imperfections, but because they see all things through the eyes of love. It seems to me that this was Jonathan’s response to David, and David’s to Jonathan.

These friendships are uncommon. You may know only a handful of people in your entire life who enjoy a truly soul-stirring friendship. Certainly, our modern world is not friendly to the cultivation of such friendships. Soul-stirring friendships require a nobility of purpose and mission to exist between the friends. Sometimes they are hatched in the incubator of opportunity or crisis, as with David and Jonathan. Other times they ripen over time.

However such friendships emerge, they are a special gift to be cultivated, cherished, and preserved. David and Jonathan were given the gift of this type of friendship as a testimony to men of all ages of the potential of soul-stirring friendships.

The bad news is that most people never experience these type of deep, meaningful, love-rich friendships. The other bad news is that the world does not understand this type of love. Some don’t want to understand it. Some actually hate it. Their mission is to twist that which is good and holy to advance a perverse agenda. Their response to David and Jonathan (and even the Lord Jesus and John the Baptist) is to suggest homosexuality. What a sick reflection on the psychologized and intellectually perverse spirit of the age! (Now we see similarly perverse efforts aimed at twisting the honorable response of fathers to love and win the hearts of their daughters and sons, as did the writer of Proverbs who declared “give me your heart my son.”)

Finally, more good news: It does not matter what the Bible-twisters and apologists for the sodomite community say. What matters is this: What does the Bible say about soul-stirring, manly friendships? And this question is the subject of my recording, Manly Friendships.

Information theory and genetics may prove to be the two most valuable fields of science in the war against Darwinism. The first demonstrates that creatures never gain genetic information, they only lose it. The second is proving how little we know about the vast complexity and potential for variation built into the DNA of every living creature. In fact, long held assumptions about human evolution and genetics are being challenged by the new research.

Future research into the implications of epigenetic factors on DNA may provide rich insights into the reasons why variation takes place within kinds of animals, but macro-evolution never takes place. It may also decisively resolve questions about why diverse animal groups appear to adapt so rapidly to unusual environments. Why, for example, do all non-feral animals on the Galapagos Islands appear to have lost the gene giving them a fear of man? Why is the flightless cormorant flightless, but no other cormorants are flightless? Why do so many different types of arctic mammals get white fur?

{For the best introductory book to this subject see The Mystery of the Human Genome: Genetic Entropy and the Human Genome, by Dr.John Sanford.)

One of the long-held assumptions of genetics which is being challenged is the notion that twins are genetically identical. Research on epigenetic factors appears to have proven this assumption false. No two human beings are alike—not even identical twins.

The New York Times reports:

It is a basic tenet of human biology, taught in grade schools everywhere: Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg and, thus, share identical genetic profiles. But according to new research, though identical twins share very similar genes, identical they are not...

It has long been known that identical twins develop differences that result from environment. And in recent years, it has also been shown that some of their differences can spring from unique changes in what are known as epigenetic factors, the chemical markers that attach to genes and affect how they are expressed — in some cases by slowing or shutting the genes off, and in others by increasing their output.

These epigenetic changes — which accumulate over a lifetime and can arise from things like diet and tobacco smoke — have been implicated in the development of cancer and behavioral traits like fearfulness and confidence, among other things. Epigenetic markers vary widely from one person to another, but identical twins were still considered genetically identical because epigenetics influence only the expression of a gene and not the underlying sequence of the gene itself.

“When we started this study, people were expecting that only epigenetics would differ greatly between twins,” said Jan Dumanski, a professor of genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and an author of the study. “But what we found are changes on the genetic level, the DNA sequence itself.”

The specific changes that Dr. Dumanski and his colleagues identified are known as copy number variations, in which a gene exists in multiple copies, or a set of coding letters in DNA is missing. Not known, however, is whether these changes in identical twins occur at the embryonic level, as the twins age or both...

In the meantime, a lot of biology textbooks may need updating.

Dr. Dumanski pointed out, for example, that as his study was going to press, the following statement could be found on the Web site of the National Human Genome Research Institute, the group that financed the government project to decode the human genome: “Most of any one person’s DNA, some 99.9 percent, is exactly the same as any other person’s DNA. (Identical twins are the exception, with 100 percent similarity).”

That, we now know, no longer appears to be the case.
