Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex education is a highly controversial subject. The British Government believes that the answer to the teenage pregnancy crisis in the UK lies in providing children with yet more explicit sex education, starting at an even earlier age, with clear guidance on contraception and the 'morning-after' pill. And to encourage children to use contraception, the Government allows doctors to prescribe contraceptives for under-16s without their parents' knowledge or consent. Opponents argue that sex education is not only ineffective in preventing teenage pregnancies, but that it encourages promiscuity. Lessons in Depravity examines sex education in a historical context. As the story of the sex education movement unfolds, so the link between the messages of the sex educators and the ideology of the sexual revolution becomes increasingly clear. Dr Williams explains that sex education, which has developed from the ideas of the sexual revolutionaries, is one of the great moral evils of our time in that it demoralises sexual conduct and misleads children with promises of 'safer sex'. Within a framework of moral relativism children are presented with sexual facts and encouraged to make 'informed' choices whether to have sex or not. Those who decide to have sex are helped to negotiate 'safer sex' with a partner. And sex educators oppose the 'moralisers', asserting that 'preaching' makes it less likely that children will make the right sexual choices. Lessons in Depravity exposes the moral relativism of sex education to the light of biblical truth. In view of the inherent moral dangers, no parent can afford to stand back and leave the moral instruction of their children in the hands of State sex education

Download or read book Radical Depravity written by John Owen and published by Felipe chavarro. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ saves radically depraved men, women, and children from their sins. However, to understand, believe, and love the good news about the crucified and resurrected Savior, we must first understand our condition. Thus, we offer this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster: Radical Depravity. Arthur Pink introduces us to this weighty subject by asking the question, “Is man a totally and thoroughly depraved creature by nature?” Thomas Reade then tells us about the deadly consequences and bitter fruits of Adam’s fall: in Adam all die. We then consider Joel Beeke’s helpful survey of the doctrine of human depravity. A second article by Thomas Reade leads us to a painful truth: the heart of man is evil. But he does not leave us there: he takes us to the blessed Son of God for deliverance. John Owen describes with great clarity the depraved and corrupted state of man’s mind and teaches us that the only remedy for this great darkness is the new birth: “You must be born again.” Loraine Boettner explains the extent and effects of original sin, which results in human inability in the matters of salvation. What is our true spiritual condition outside of Christ? Charles Spurgeon declares that we are legally, spiritually, and eternally dead. Nevertheless, he also tells us that we can be legally, spiritually, eternally alive by faith in Jesus Christ the Son! We then hear from John Flavel that in mercy, grace, and love, God draws sinners to Jesus Christ, gradually, suitably, powerfully, effectually, and finally. That is indeed good news! J. C. Ryle brings our subject to a close by asking a penetrating question: “Are you dead or alive?” Each of us, dear readers, must answer that question.
Download or read book The Total Depravity of Man written by Arthur Pink and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of total depravity is a very humbling one. It is not that man leans to one side and needs propping up, nor that he is merely ignorant and requires instructing, nor that he is run down and calls for a tonic; but rather that he is undone, lost, spiritually dead. Consequently, he is "without strength," thoroughly incapable of bettering himself; he is exposed to the wrath of God, and unable to perform a single work which can find acceptance with Him. Almost every page of the Bible bears witness to this truth. The whole scheme of redemption takes it for granted. The plan of salvation taught in the Scriptures could have no place on any other supposition. The impossibility of any man's gaining the approbation of God by works of his own appears plainly in the case of the rich young ruler who came to Christ. Judged by human standards, he was a model of virtue and religious attainments. Yet, like all others who trust in self-efforts, he was ignorant of the spirituality and strictness of God's law; when Christ put him to the test his fair expectations were blown to the winds and "he went away sorrowful" (Matt. 19:22). It is therefore a most unpalatable doctrine. It cannot be otherwise, for the unregenerate love to hear of the greatness, the dignity, the nobility of man. The natural man thinks highly of himself and appreciates only that which is flattering. Nothing pleases him more than to listen to that which extols human nature and lauds the state of mankind, even though it be in terms which not only repudiate the teaching of God's Word but are flatly contradicted by common observation and universal experience. And there are many who pander to him by their lavish praises of the excellency of civilization and the steady progress of the race. Hence, to have the lie given to the popular theory of evolution is highly displeasing to its deluded votaries. Nevertheless, the duty of God's servants is to stain the pride of all that man glories in, to strip him of his stolen plumes, to lay him low in the dust before God. However repugnant such teaching is, God's emissary must faithfully discharge his duty "whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear" (Ezek. 3:11).
Download or read book Depravity Online written by Steve R.R. Carpenter and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing computer games is a way of life for Steve R. R. Carpenter, a thirty-six-year-old virgin who still lives in the basement of his parents’ house. But he’s had it with all the lame multiplayer online role-playing fantasy games pumped out by gaming companies, so he decides to create one of his own. Needless to say, it’s an instant success and a moneymaker to fund his real dream: To use one billion dollars to create another game that would redefine the genre and put all its competitors out of their misery. It’s also a way to have revenge on the greedy corporate assholes who are responsible for the state the fantasy MMORPG industry is in today, which is a welcome side-effect for our protagonist. If you never played (and stopped playing) a fantasy MMORPG before, then this book is most likely not for you. If you did, you might enjoy this fun and crazy revenge story, although if you were really pressed for time, an easy fix would be to just read a random forum rant instead … If on the other hand you couldn’t care less about this whole MMORPG shebang, but have a friend or a relative who hasn’t read a book in as long as you can remember because he is playing MMORPGs all the time, well then this book is your best chance to make him read something again, because if he won’t read this, then there is no chance he would read anything else (strategy compendiums for online games are a thing of the past now, right?).

Book excerpt: Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
