The New Feminist Gender Neutral NIV
“NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In the old translation of the world’s most popular Bible, John the Evangelist declares: “If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar.” Make that “brother or sister” in a new translation that includes more gender-neutral language and is drawing criticism from some conservatives who argue the changes can alter the theological message. The 2011 translation of the New International Version Bible, or NIV, does not change pronouns referring to God, who remains “He” and “the Father.” But it does aim to avoid using “he” or “him” as the default reference to an unspecified person. The NIV Bible is used by many of the largest Protestant faiths.

Therapy: More “Gas” Poured on a Raging Fire! – KAU#018
A recent article at ABCNEWS.com made the following observation:

It was lily-white, suburban family perfection, the backdrop for the life of elementary school student, Theodore Cleaver, known as ‘the Beaver.’ Anxiety in the Beaver’s life came most often from earnest, often inept attempts to understand and cope with family and friends.

But father, mother and mildly errant son certainly never went in for group therapy.”

The First Two Lines Of The Serpent
Christians would do well to meditate on the subtle devices the devil used on the first man and woman in that ancient Garden. As we expose these devices (and show them “applied” to this modern age) many are bound to get a bit angry and emotional. The devil likes that just fine. Genesis chapter 3 describes the first assault on mankind by the Serpent. It came on a man and woman at a time when they were in fellowship with their Creator. This fact alone should cause every obedient, seeking Christian to stop and think about the “wiles” the devil used. The devil has not changed his methods. (2Cor.2:11)
