Nebraska fears rush to drop off kids before haven law change - CNN.com:"Tysheema Brown drove from Georgia to leave her teenage son at an Omaha hospital.'Do not judge me as a parent. I love my son and my son knows that,' Brown said. 'There is just no help. There hasn't been any help.'Safe haven laws allow distraught parents, who fear their children are in imminent danger, to drop them off at hospitals without being charged with abandonment. Nebraska was the last state in the country to pass such a law. But every other state included an age limit.The Department of Health and Human Services pu... [read more]

Trying to condense an entire life and martyrdom into one 45 minute paper is a bit of a task, but after delivering the story of Lady Jane Grey to GFC this past Sunday night, I observed one glaring omission.Before Feckenham had his public debate with Jane, he had two other meetings. At the first meeting, arranged by Mary to convert Jane before her beheading, Feckenham made no progress. When he returned to inform Mary of this, he did indicate that with more time he might be successful. Thus, Mary delayed the execution by three days and to up the ante, offered Jane full reprieve if she would... [read more]

I have been pondering lately what it means to live under grace, especially in comparison to living under the law (Rom 6.14). I have come to think of this as the “horrible wonderful.”To be under grace means to be under its influence, sway and control. There is a readiness to identify sin, to confess sin, to focus on the cross and to fight for a stance of integrity in relationships that flees the bob-and-weave of hiding.That means I expose more of who I really am to both myself and others – and leads to the horrible wonderful. My sins and the sins of my friends are much more obvious,... [read more]

I am such a fan of Lady Jane Grey's life that I am unashamed to perform a little self-promotion here. The audio file is now up on the paper and the pdf version should be available later today. Have a listen and draw fresh courage and conviction from a life lived to the glory of God!kerux noemata - the blog of pastor paul w. martin thanks for reading!

You know, there are just not many people writing songs with as theologically adept words as there used to be. Joseph Hart wrote many wonderful hymns, but I was just listening to IG's version of, "Come, Ye Sinners" while I was studying and was arrested by this verse again:Come, Ye Sinners (Jordan):"Let not conscience make you linger,Nor of fitness fondly dream;All the fitness He requirethIs to feel your need of Him.This He gives you, this He gives you,'Tis the Spirit's rising beam."There is such wonderful hope in the Gospel!kerux noemata - the blog of pastor paul w. martin thanks for reading!
