by Zoe Briggs

With adult fiction getting a new lease of life this year thanks to EL James’ Fifty Shades of Grey, it seems women are turning to erotic stories to get their sexual thrills instead of their partners. New poll results show that nearly half of women prefer to read sexy literature rather then indulge in their own sex lives.

 The poll, carried out by online bingo site, Dotty Bingo, quizzed 400 women between the ages 25-50 and was surprised to find that their female members were more fond of fictional sexual adventures rather then creating their own.

Initial Point

Read: Psalm 119:97-104

It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” —Matthew 4:4

Bible in a Year:
Amos 7-9

If you drive south of our home in Boise, Idaho, you’ll see a volcanic butte that rises out of the sagebrush on the east side of the road. This is the initial point from which the state of Idaho was surveyed.

In 1867, four years after Idaho was organized as a territory, Lafayette Cartee, the Surveyor General of the United States, commissioned Peter Bell to survey the new territory. Bell took a sledge and drove a brass post into a little knob on the summit of that butte, declaring it to be the initial point from which he began his survey.

The survey established the language of land description in Idaho: Townships are designated north and south of the initial point; ranges are designated east and west. With such descriptions, you always know exactly where you are.

Americans Split on Whether Being Homosexual is a Sin

DAVID ROACH/LIFEWAY

Joel Osteen on April 30 said he believes the Scripture says that being gay is a sin, and is opposed to gay marriage.

Do you think homosexuality is a sin? Americans are split on the question—and many do not appreciate if a church teaches that homosexuality is sinful. So says a recent LifeWay Research survey. 

Forty-four percent believe homosexuality is a sin and 43 percent say it is not. Thirteen percent are not sure.
