Mortal Immortality
With all the articles, blogs, tweets, e-mails and news reports about
the recent deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon,
one more would probably make little difference. So, here’s another
one. One question among a lot of people out there is something to
the effect of “Why do so many people make such a big to-do when a
famous person dies? I mean, it happens to everyone, so why should it
be so different when it happens to celebrities?”
American Desensitization
If there is one thing that the American (and world) media is good
for, it’s desensitizing us to things that should shock and appall
us. For years, we’ve seen recording artists push the envelope of
what is or is not acceptable in our society. We’ve seen the same
thing on television and in the movies. We’ve even seen it on the
radio with the “shock jocks.” One of the ways that I’m seeing a lot
of this problem is with certain types of television shows.
Man in the Mirror
There is a very popular passage in the Gospel of Matthew about
judging others. It's one of those passages that is so well known
that even non-Christians will sometimes quote it. The passage is
Matthew 7:1-5.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you
judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it
will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in
your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own
eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of
your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You
hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you
will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
When the Going Gets Good…
When you look back through history, particularly in America, you
tend to see a correlation between faith and tragedy. Almost every
time there is a major catastrophe, people come running to God. It
happened with Katrina. It happened on 9/11/01. It’s a recurring
theme that we continue to see. When difficulties arise, we look to
God for help, for deliverance, for strength and peace.
Evangelical Group Banned From Tulsa Housing Projects
Another report involving government attempts to restrict Christian
organizations - this time out of Tulsa, Oklahoma where an
evangelical group has been banned from a housing project they have
been ministering to for the last 20 years.
Christianity is a religion of rescue. It is designed for the
desperate. It is for people who have a craving for something more than they
can eke out of life by themselves. [Walter
Henrichsen]
Love is an action, not a feeling. Love is a choice. In fact, love is a
commandment. [Mack Timberlake]
Children can withstand a lot of pressure and trial from the outside
if the home inside is held steady by parents whose character is steady.
