(ABP) -- First Corinthians 6:11-20 can be the preacher's worst nightmare -- a passage full of directives about sex, food and all things bodily. Yet, I chose it as part of a six-part series about God's calling on our lives. I just couldn't ignore the body.

(ABP) -- Consider setting aside three days in April for a trip to Atlanta to attend “A [Baptist] Conference on Sexuality and Covenant.” If you are already planning to be there and don’t need another explanation of what the conference is (and is not) about, just skip directly to the website, go ahead and register and then feel free to move on with your day.

(ABP) -- Somewhere in a closet at my parents’ house in Kentucky hangs a George H.W. Bush shirt from my high school days. On one occasion in my early 20s, I skipped church to pass out flyers with Right to Life’s candidate information. On another occasion, I pondered starting a Concerned Women for America prayer group.

In fact, I’m a registered Independent and think both parties have some good qualities, as well as bad ones.
