Romanian Senators amended on Tuesday the Family Code applied at national level to clearly specify that the family is based entirely upon the marriage of a man and a woman and not upon the reunion of the partners, as stipulated before. The initiative pertains to a senator from the far-right Greater Romania Party (PRM) and was accepted by all members of the Judicial Commission in the Senate.

The amendment referred to the first article of the Family Code and leaves no room for interpretation. The text added refers that the union between a man and a woman respects the Biblical requirements.

The amendment will be approved in the Senate and then be sent to the Chamber of Deputies for approval.

Where We Are

by Dale Krebbs

?For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.? (1 Corinthians 10:13 Amplified Bible) Continue reading “Where We Are”

Music and theology

by Russel Cairns -M.Th.

How has song and music been used overtime to express Christian theology and faith?

Music and song are a God created means of expressing our deepest emotions, feelings, faith and praise before God. The people of God throughout all time, regardless of location, have always expressed their faith through music and song. As Gelineau writes, ?The Christian liturgy was born singing and it has never ceased to sing.?? Yet long before the birth of Christ song and music was regarded as one of the most fundamental constituents of worship and has continued through the history of the church. Song/music was seen as a rite in the same way as prayer and communion to the point that Augustine remarked, outside scriptural reading and bishop praying,
?..is there any time when the faithful assembled in church are not singing? Truly I see nothing better, more useful or more holy that they could do.? Continue reading “Music and theology”

We live a time of prosperity and freedom, especially in USA. We got so used with shopping options, that these become our second nature. When we want to buy something we have to make a lot of When decisions and relate our decision to price, quality, brand, etc. All these decisions have something in common: our benefit.
