  How to Look at the Upcoming Elections (By Tom Kennedy, POBA Moral & Civic Concerns Leader) In the heart of our democratic process lies a powerful tool: the vote. For Christians, voting is not just a civic responsibility; it’s an extension of our faith and values. As we face a political landscape marked by social and moral complexity and decay, it’s crucial that we approach voting with both conviction and wisdom. Elections have consequences, and the choices we make (or don’t make) at the ballot box will have profound consequences. Looking Back: A Reminder From History History provides us with a sobering reminder of the consequences of voting without a clear moral compass. Consider the example of the 1930s in Germany. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party was facilitated by a combination of economic turmoil, political instability, and widespread propaganda. Many voters, driven by desperation and manipulated by charismatic rhetoric, overlooked the dangers posed by the ...

  Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see, Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see. There’s a Father up above looking down in tender love, Oh, be careful, little eyes, what you see. This song has echoed through my mind for most of my life, and played on repeat while I watched the January 31 st  US Senate hearing on Social Media. The hearing was interesting, informative, and at times intense. The witness panel was a who’s who of Social Media - which included Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg,  X CEO Linda Yaccarino, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, and Discord CEO Jason Citron. Lawmakers have recently condemned the tech industry for failing to protect kids from a "plague of online child sexual exploitation" as the social media apps have gone viral among America's youth. Seated behind the witnesses were parents who were holding pictures of children who had been victims of mental health issues, cyber bullying, suicide, and pornographic exposure. In ...

  (Tom Kennedy) We live in a world that grapples with complex moral and ethical questions. At the center of many of these questions is the question of Life. News media, politicians, scholars, philosophers, and social media influencers are all bombarding us with opinions. Christians however do not look for which way the cultural wind is blowing on any given day to find our answers, we have a “more sure word of testimony”, we have a Bible! The concept of the sanctity of human life stands as a foundational principle deeply rooted in sacred scriptures. The Creation Narrative (Genesis 1:26-27): The Bible opens with the declaration that humanity is created in the image of God. Genesis 1:26-27 emphasizes the divine origin of each individual, underscoring the intrinsic worth bestowed upon us by our Creator. This foundational truth sets the stage for understanding the sanctity of human life from the very beginning. The Psalmist's Praise for Life (Psalm 139:13-16): Th...
