Miasma


The President says that religion isn't responsible for terrorism; people are responsible for terrorism. Other voices maintain that Islam seeks to destroy Christianity. Did you ever wonder what Mohammed said about relations between Islam and Christianity? And what does Jesus teach those called to the name Christian?

The Cheraw Brick Works

If we take the word “repent” to mean the process of realizing we’re on the wrong path and a recognition that it is time and past time for us to commit to a change of course, we all know what a difficult message that is to swallow.

When I was a child, my family vacationed in Myrtle
Beach. Dad drove. One trip, he decided he had found a short cut. The road became more and more desolate and rocky but Dad was sure he was on the right road and refused to turn around. Mom was equally sure they’d find our bleached bones one day but Dad wouldn't give up, no matter how desolate the road became.

Birds on a Wire


I have so many good friends who don't give a hoot about church or God. They are not dumb, or hard-hearted. Generally, they are compassionate people with good minds and equally kind dispositions or they wouldn't be my friends. When I scratch my head over them, I sometimes wonder why God has not called to them more strongly.
Then I think, “And what business is it of yours that God calls one and not another?” My friends, my birds on a wire, sit upon unimaginable power, but remain unaware of it because they have not connected with it. That's God's business. Our business is to bring the simple message of Jesus into the world just as He did.
“Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.”

Losing It

Everybody you meet is fighting battles you know nothing about. It sounds strange to modern ears, but one of the handiest ways to refer to those battles is the now-antique sounding phrase "unclean spirits". Surely we don't believe in such a superstitious concept. Or do we?
