Baby Zoowon (Amharic for Elephant) is an amazing company dedicated to helping orphans and children in need. As a mother to three children, owner Sherry Lopez became aware of the desperate need. Currently in the process of adopting from Ethiopia, Sherry realized that with Baby Zoowon, people could make a difference in the life of a child – one purchase at a time. For each blanket purchased, Baby Zoowon donates a blanket to a child in need and donates a portion of every sale to help families with the overwhelming cost of adoption.
Why blankets you may ask? According to Judith Jerald, MSW and Early Childhood Advisor to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs. “Children born into poverty often face a higher level of stress and more anxiety-producing situations than those from more affluent families, making their trusted blanket all the more important. Research and experience have shown that a favorite blanket can be a soothing and comforting transitional object as children face changes early in life and can actually help them develop emotionally”.If you are looking for a cuddly and cozy gift for that new bundle of joy or a keepsake gift for that special little someone be sure to check out Baby Zoowon. For 3 more days they will be donating 20% from all sales to help the children in Haiti.

The Great Debate – Bahnsen Vs. Stein.

Dr. Greg Bahnsen may have been one of the most intelligent presuppositionalists the modern era has or will ever have seen. His classic debate against world renown atheist Gordon Stein demonstrates the transcendental argument for the existence of God at its finest. If you have never heard these debates you need to, they are great for everyone; if you are just starting your study of apologetics and philosophy or are a seasoned scholar these talks are to be treasured.
Here are the links for the debate talks: Click here and HERE for the transcript of the debate.
Enjoy!
Theology Terms Tuesday – Monophysitism.

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last two weeks. I decided to take a little blogging break over the holiday. Much needed rest was needed. Anyway, I am cooking up some ideas for a new series for our weekly terms in mean time enjoy this fun term as well as some history:
Monophysitism.
Derived from monos, “single,” and physis, “nature,” monophysitism is the doctrine which holds that the incarnate Christ had only a single, divine nature, clad in human flesh. It is sometimes called Eutchianism, after Eutyches (d.454), one of its leading defenders. Since the Council of Chalcedon, which confirmed as orthodox the doctrine of two natures, divine and human, monophysitism has been considered heretical. Its roots probably go back to Apollinaris (ca. 370), who laid tremendous stress on the fusion of the divine and human. Alexandria became the citadel of this doctrine, and Cyril, although deemed orthodox, furnished fule for the fire kindled by his successor, Dioscorus, and Eutyches, who denied that Christ’s body was the same in essence as the bodies of men. Their chief opponent was Leo I of Rome, whose formulation of the doctrine of two natures in one persone triumphed at Chalcedon.
