Extramarital Affairs, Like Sanford’s, Morally Taboo
- GALLUP
There is also a slight difference between men's views and women's views on extramarital affairs; 8% of men say they are acceptable, compared to 3% of women. And despite the conventional wisdom that young Americans may be more morally libertine than those who are older, 18- to 29-year-olds in the Gallup survey are little different in their views on the moral acceptability of extramarital affairs than are those 30 years of age and up.

Americans Set New Mark for Giving -
CNN

Americans lead the world in giving to charity, donating nearly $300 billion in 2006. Most of the gifts, 32.8%, were made to religious organizations. What motivates people to give? Why is Christian charity so vital to evangelism?

Read the full article

  • The report states that about 65% of all American households with an annual income of less than $100,000 donate to charity. Why do you think so many kinds people give? What does giving do for the giver?

  • See Acts 20:35 and Proverbs 22:9. Why do you think it is more blessed to give than receive? How has this truth played out in your own life? Share some specific examples of gifts and blessings.

  • Read Luke 21: 1-4. What did the widow's gift say about her faith in God to provide? What did it say about her personal priorities? Whose kingdom was she "seeking first"?

  • Who is the greatest example of sacrificial giving? Read 1 John 3:16-18. How do you think loving with "actions and in truth" impacts the world for Christ? Why does giving open doors for sharing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ?

  • What are the eternal ramifications of the giving you do now? See 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.

Raising Kids for True Greatness

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?

What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
