My brother Ken wrote this not too long ago:

Pastor Chen spent eighteen years in a prison work camp in China. Because he came from a background of moderate wealth and opportunity the guards at the camp worked hard to break his spirit and indoctrinate him. He was so hungry at times that he was tempted to eat toothpaste. He was separated from his wife and his young church. While he was in prison, his wife died.

A couple of Saturdays ago we took a quick trip to the Tawas Point
Lighthouse. We’ll be going back sometime when it’s open so we can go to the
top for the view.

For several weeks now in our study in Philippians we have been talking about standing fast in the Lord.  In the first verse of chapter four we are told to “stand fast in the Lord.” It is important for followers of Christ to be steadfast, mature and spiritually stable. If we are going to be effective and fruitful believers then we need to be standing fast—stable in the Lord.

Have you ever had a problem with worry? Or should I say, do you have a problem with worry? It’s easy to worry, isn’t it?

When Lincoln was on his way to Washington to be inaugurated, he spent some time in New York with Horace Greeley and told him an anecdote which was meant to be an answer to the question which everybody was asking him: Are we really to have Civil War? In his circuit riding days, Lincoln and his companions, riding to the next session of court, had crossed many swollen rivers. But the Fox River was still ahead of them; and they said one to another, “If these streams give us so much trouble, how shall we get over Fox River?”

This week most of us probably witnessed the death of Terri Schiavo played out in the media. It seems that there is a great division over this issue of whether it was justice or injustice to allow Terri to die.

It is very hard to understand when you hear of her responsiveness to those who interacted with her on a regular basis and when you read the affidavits of those who cared for Terri over the years—it is beyond my imagination how any thinking person could say that she wanted to die.  I personally feel like there was a great injustice done toward Terri. I have feelings that tell me she was not “allowed” to die but was intentionally starved to death and killed.
