Christians "Exterminated" in Iraq
Chuck Colson writes an eye-opening article about the recent murder of at least 58 Christians at Our Lady of Salvation Catholic Church in Baghdad at the hands of Muslim extremists. He also exposes the Western media's inattention to the persecution of Christians throughout the world, especially when that persecution comes at the hands of Muslims. Read Colson's article here. To MSNBC's credit, they appear to have covered the killings in an honest and fair manner, saying "Islamic militants have systematically attacked Christians in Iraq since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime."

Piper's Confession of Having No Merit
This is my confession:
I was born into a believing family through no merit of my own at all.
I was given a mind to think and a heart to feel through no merit of my own at all.
I was brought into the hearing of the gospel through no merit of my own at all.
My rebellion was subdued, my hardness removed, my blindness overcome, and my deadness awakened through no merit of my own at all.
Thus I became a believer in Christ through no merit of my own at all.
And so I am an heir of God with Christ through no merit of my own at all.
