The reason why Cyrus has accumulated so much fame is due to our societies' sick fascination with celebrity immorality. I understand that the ... [Read More…]
Wood: Response to ’50 Shades of women’s roles’
Response to "50 Shades of women's roles" by Gary Wood from Sacramento, Calif. Alikay and Editor, I applaud your pluck. Nevertheless, some of your brush strokes are a wee bit broad. Assuming that "Fifty Shades of Grey," is about dominance and submission, the assertion that these ideas are central to traditional Christian teaching is ... [Read More…]

Perkins: Abortion is not as simple as cupcakes
The issue of abortion is one so polarizing in America that many people avoid talking about it. It is equally divisive in the Christian community, where many incorrectly assume that all Christians are "pro-life". First of all, the issue is not as rhetorically simple as "pro-life", and its binary opposite "pro-death". The choice to have an abortion ... [Read More…]
Carpenter: Flower beds can be used for good
I was sitting in the Chapel forum the other day, listening to the Seekers of the Word, when a joke was made regarding the decorative cabbage that we have on campus.

Whitt: Willingness to share tops income
While I do appreciate the article on house churches, I beg to differ on the ability of such a group to provide for each other. I was part of a house church in San Antonio for almost a year, and we had about 15 people on average in attendance. We had all ages represented, and I'd say most of us were financially stable. We had members who were at ... [Read More…]
Holmes: Christians can’t balk at issues
I am a senior at ACU and have enjoyed my experience here. This school is an exceptional institution for higher learning that encourages Christian relationships and servant leadership.
