Roy, His Name Was Roy
by Debra Burgess
11/04/2009 / Christian Living
Turning away from the stage I felt the need to look behind me. Across the park I could see two men standing together in the pouring rain. One man was dressed in a dark coat and hat. He had his hand on a younger man's shoulder in such a way I knew he was praying for him. This same young guy passed by a few minutes earlier but he didn't notice us as we stood under our umbrella. He seemed under the influence of something more than the music.

The Best Part of Waking Up is Jesus in Your Cup
by Tara Roper
11/04/2009 / Christian Living
Whats a cup of coffee without a good friend anyways? Its the relationship that seems to make the cup of coffee better right?Coffee is of course wonderful, but made better, made meaningful, made memorable, by the company, the conversation, the listening, the prayer. So, even though I pair my early morning quiet time with coffee, as long as I am filling up on Jesus, the actual coffee is just my whipped cream.

Passing Judgment, Judging Rightly
by William Ryzek
11/03/2009 / Christian Living
There is a great difference between passing judgment and making sound judgments. The scripture condemns the former and encourages the latter. One way of thinking about the difference is this: passing judgment is condemning someone or something without grace and mercy as though we have the authority to do so. Making sound judgments means to distinguish between good and evil and then choose the good.

Mark of the Beast and the Number 666
by Robert Randle
11/02/2009 / Salvation
Nothing strikes more fear in the hearts of Bible-believing Christians than the chilling "mark" of the beast. Along with all the apprehension, panic, and hysteria are numerous convincing theories that range anywhere from the Roman Emperors Nero or Domitian to an infamous Roman Catholic Pope around the same generation or two from the Church's infancy. Using Greek, Latin, or Hebrew 'Gematria' can lead to a seeming unending arrangement of numerical valuations in the letters of a person's name or title to produce the dreaded "666," but is this the methodology and determination of chance that this solemn revelation would be dependant upon to make known one of the most significant and ominous symbols contained within the Holy Scriptures?

The next morning, feeling a little guilty, I apologized to him, but immediately took back the apology. I wasn't really sorry for speaking to him that way, because I had been honest with him.

Water In The Pipe....
by Shannon Heiden

The fact is; we all have a breaking point, and none of us knows where it is, until we reach it.
The Bible is filled with stories of men and women just like us. They had desires and dreams, as well as weaknesses, vulnerabilities and pain. What made these men and women notable in the history of Gods Word? Were they so powerfully awesome, sinless, and favored by God? What made these people catch the attention of God and stand out? Could it be that they just took him at his Word, and believed him?

Homily: We reflect on two Apostles, by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin
10/29/2009 / Bible Studies
I thought and my heart said they are Apostles who spoke of God, spoke to and into the world, and gave us hope, having been commissioned by Christ himself when alive. Almost mythical in dimension, they are separate from the special yet regular disciple. When sent out into the world to speak the Good News Apostles had that wonderful and special spirit upon them: The Holy Spirit. They are the special disciples of Christ, extraordinary and unique in the history of the world.

African-American females and the having "Good hair/Bad hair" controversy
by Robert Randle
10/27/2009 / Writing
The "Good hair/Bad hair" controversy is actually an ongoing dilemma and source of discomfort as well as embarrassment among African-Americans, but it is usually not played out before White America. One could attribute this debate and lifestyle in part to psychological enslavement, imperialism, or economic exploitation by the dominant culture, but that might just be a little bit too simplistic and shortsighted. What is apparent is that there is pain, confusion, self-esteem issues, denial and no easy answer for many who embrace this vain pursuit of happiness or acceptance as more than just a contemporary modern fad.
