Anti-Internet-porn campaign announced by UK's Cameron
LONDON (BP) -- British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a
multifaceted campaign against Internet pornography that blocks in-home
access to images through search engines but allows individual residences
to maintain access upon request.
By the end of 2013 in Great Britain, pornographic images and prose will automatically be filtered by Internet providers for new customers, unless they opt in to receive them, and existing customers will have the option of activating "family-friendly" filters to their accounts, Cameron announced Monday (July 22) at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children London headquarters.
"I'm not making this speech because I want to moralize or scaremonger but because I feel profoundly as a politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come," Cameron said. "This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and their innocence."

American street preacher arrested in London for ‘hate speech’
As crowds swelled in the streets of Wimbledon, London, to watch the famed tennis tournament July 1, Tony Miano stood
preaching out of his worn Bible to anyone who would listen. A former
Los Angeles County deputy sheriff, Miano now spends his time
evangelizing outside of abortion centers and on the street while
carrying a cross. He worked for Ray Comfort’s street evangelism ministry
until last year and writes for the blog Cross Encounters.
Last Monday afternoon, he preached on 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, calling on people who have engaged in sexually immoral lifestyles—lust, premarital sex, and homosexuality—to repent.
After 25 minutes, local police cut Miano off and took
him into custody. An offended woman had called to complain about the
preaching and while street preaching is not illegal—Miano had been
preaching for a week already—his offensive message was.
Modesty: More than an Exterior Show
by Sunny Shell
There is much talk within the Christian community about modesty, yet, most of the focus seems to on the exterior appearance of a woman, rather than on what Christ said:

And again we find these wise words from the Scriptures, "but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." ~1 Peter 3:4The dictionary definiton for modesty is: the quality of being modest; freedom from vanity, boastfulness, etc.—regard for decency of behavior, speech, dress, etc.—simplicity; moderation.
