Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider
themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise.Interestingly
enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing,
there is little to no trend in the number of those who
express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People arent saying they dont believe
in God. Theyre saying they dont believe in religion. They are not
rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.This begs the question,
Why are we losing our religion?Some may be losing their religion, but
I challenge the notion that faith in general is waning.I believe, instead,
the trend of people who dont identify as part of an organized
religion speaks to an increasing wariness of labels in our culture. Those
labels carry baggage for many who might have been hurt by the
Church or let down by religion.You see, religion alone can only take
a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ
can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an
inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship
centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about
Jesus.In order to become a new person, we need Christ. Only through
an active ongoing relationship with Jesus can we become transformed and
overcome the labels that bind us.In fact, Ive struggled with what people
think of my label: pastor. For many, this label carries emoti
as a genuine Renoir.Last year, Fuqua planned to have the painting
sold at auction, where it was expected to fetch at least $75,000.
But the auction was postponed after it was learned that the Baltimore
Museum of Art reported the painting stolen in 1951. Records show an
insurer, the Fireman's Fund, paid a $2,500 claim on the theft.The insurer
says it is now the rightful owner, based on payment of that
claim.According to an appraisal commissioned by the FBI, Renoir painted
"Paysage bords de Seine," or On the Shore of the Seine, on
a linen napkin in 1879 on the spot at a riverside restaurant
for his mistress.The appraiser says the Renoir's value is about $22,000,
much less than the auction house estimated, because Renoir's paintings have
fallen out of favor with some art collectors who consider them old
fashioned and because questions about the painting's ownership and possible
theft diminish its value to collectors.Fuqua, who had managed to remain
anonymous until the court case was filed, told the FBI under penalty
of perjury that she bought the painting at a flea market in
Harpers Ferry, W. Va., never believing the painting to be a true
Renoir, even though a plate reading "RENOIR" is attached to the frame.
She describes herself as an "innocent buyer" and questions the FBI's authority
to seize the painting."Because I am not an art historian, collector, appraiser,
or dealer, I lacked the expertise to identify the Renoir Painting's authenti

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">March 19, 2013: Kansas state Rep. Tom Burroughs, left, consults with Rep.
Julie Menghini, of Pittsburg, during the House's debate on anti-abortion
legislation at the Statehouse in Topeka, Kan.APTOPEKA, Kan. Kansas legislators
gave final passage to a sweeping anti-abortion measure Friday night, sending
Gov. Sam Brownback a bill that declares life begins "at fertilization" while
blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and banning abortions performed
solely because of the baby's sex.The House voted 90-30 for a compromise
version of the bill reconciling differences between the two chambers, only
hours after the Senate approved it, 28-10. The Republican governor is a
strong abortion opponent, and supporters of the measure expect him to sign
it into law so that the new restrictions take effect July 1.In
addition to the bans on tax breaks and sex-selection abortions, the bill
prohibits abortion providers from being involved in public school sex education
classes and spells out in more detail what information doctors must provide
to patients seeking abortions.The measure's language that life begins "at
fertilization" had some abortion-rights supporters worrying that it could
be used to legally harass providers. Abortion opponents call it a statement
of principle and not an outright ban on terminating pregnancies."The human
is a magnificent piece of work at all stages of development, wondrous
in every regard, from the microscopic until full de
Anthony Weiner announces his resignation from Congress during a news conference
in Brooklyn, New York, Thursday, June 16, 2011. (AP)AP2011Former Rep. Anthony
Weiner is laying the groundwork for a political comeback, possibly as a
startling addition to this years mayoral race, sources said yesterday.Political
insiders were abuzz at news that Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin,
had granted a lengthy magazine interview for the first time since his
resignation in an embarrassing sexting scandal in 2011.The magazine piece
is step one of a two-step process for him to run citywide
this year, said one Democratic Party source.Hes looking at public advocate
and comptroller, but he really thinks he can use this to get
back in and run for mayor.Weiner issued a terse no comment when
asked about his plans.Weiner has $4.3 million left in his campaign account,
including $248,710 that would be matched 6-to-1 under the public-financing
system.A second source said Weiner has been contacting former staffers to
prepare for his re-entry into politics.Weiners entry into the Democratic
primary for mayor would make it more difficult for any of the
five candidates now in the race to get at least 40 percent
of the vote and avoid a runoff.Click for more from NYPost.com.
