“My subject has been suggested to me by the rendering of this passage [i.e., Luke 9:11] given in the Revised Version, where we read: ‘But the multitudes perceiving it, followed him; and he welcomed them.’ The difference lies, you see, between the words ‘he received them’ and ‘he welcomed them.’ The new version is an instructive improvement, of which we will at once make evangelical use.”

Due to some tehcnical difficulties, there was about a four minute delay in today’s program – part 2 of our look at a Biblical perspective on homosexual marriage. So, if you download the program, you will hear about four minutes of silence before the program actually begins. I apologize for the error.
Last week we began a discussion on the controversial topic of homosexual marriage. Yet, our focus was not merely to take a political stance, but to search the Scriptures and discover what God wants us to know about the subject. This week we continue this discussion and will get even more controversial by getting into the political side of the issue. Tune in, you might be surprised to hear where our host, Kevin Thompson, stands on this. Listener comments from last week will also be addressed in this broadcast.

Republican Peter Theron takes on Libertarian Tim Nerenz in their race to unseat Wisconsin Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin in a conservative candidates forum hosted by the Rock River Patriots.
Social conservatives are big on touting marriage as only between one man and woman, while liberal progressives declare that it is love that makes a family. For the Christian, it is neither conservative politics nor current trends that have final authority. Only God’s Word is the ultimate source of truth. Is traditional marriage actually Biblical marriage? Are there any examples of homosexual unions favorably mentioned in Scripture? Tune in this week to as we delve into the depths of God’s Word to see His will concerning this growing controversy.

As you all know, I’ve never been much of a sports fan. For me, this senate race in Massachusetts is far more exciting than even the Super Bowl. Who would have thought that a Republican could be replacing Ted Kennedy in the US Senate? Should Scott Brown defeat Martha Coakley next Tuesday, it will be a sight to see!
But, could an event this week hand the election over to Brown? Martha Coakley appeared on WBZ radio with Dan Rea and committed, what in Boston, could be considered a mortal sin – she called Boston Red Sox hero Curt Schilling a Yankees fan! Here is the exchange as reported in the New York Times:
The interviewer, Dan Rea, said, “Yeah, but now Scott Brown has Curt Schilling, OK?’’
To which Ms. Coakley replied, “And another Yankee fan.’’
“Schilling?’’ Mr. Rea pressed.
“Yes,’’ she said.
“Curt Schilling a Yankee fan?’’ he persisted.
“No, all right, I’m wrong on my, I’m wrong,’’ she said.
If there is one thing I learned from my failed run for Congress in Massachusetts 9th district special election back in 2007, don’t mess with Boston sports stars. The only time my campaign ever got any attention from the main stream media is when I criticized New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his philandering ways on my blog. I had news crews showing up at my church!
Could this be the end for Coakley? I sure hope so. The fate of our entire health care system depends upon it…
"Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason – and I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other—my conscience is held captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.” - Martin Luther
