The Dignity of Humanity

In the 150 years that Darwinism has been the accepted theory of the scientific community for the origin of mankind, it is not only the perception of God that has suffered.  A key "contribution" of the evolutionary hypothesis has been the destruction of the dignity of man.  If evolution is true then man is just an animal like all the rest.  He is not special, unique or otherwise worthy of attention.  The practical outworking of this new belief has been a litany of abuses against humanity.  Eugenics tried to breed the super man - the next evolutionary step forward.  Instead, it forcibly sterilized thousands of people because they were deemed unfit breeders.  Hitler tried to create his master race exterminating the lesser races.  Today abortion murders millions of babies, because they are not human, but "just a lump of fetal tissue."

But mankind does have dignity.  We were created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26-27).  By eliminating God from the hypothesis, man has unwittingly removed the only reason that makes man special in the first place.

And as the voice of death whispers,  "You must go from earth," Let us hear the voice of Christ saying, "You are but coming to me."   Norman Macleod

Families' Fridays

From Focus on the Family 10 helpful tips for single parents Imagine this: you’re the sole parent for your children. You get them up, get them fed and send them to school. You do the housework, maybe you go to work yourself, you get home and you’re still the only adult there. There’s no one to relieve you. No one to pass the baton to while you take a shower or take a few minutes for yourself. You make dinner and gather the family around the table to eat. You play with them, read to them, give them baths, get them to bed and there’s no one there to sit with and process your day. There’s no one there to laugh with you or pray with you. Instead you keep working. You clean up the house again. You pack lunches for the next day. And you eventually crash into bed, knowing you’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow. For many, this is not an imagined scenario. When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your spouse or having a spouse who works away from home for long periods of...
