Who Is This Man? John Ortberg

Please read this book and be reminded of the profound impact that Jesus Christ has had on the world today.  See once again how this one man (more than a man, I know) with little worldly power changed everything.

In God We Trust

Here are a few resources I came across in my sermon preparation.  The national motto is "In God We Trust."  Interesting. What does that mean?  What should it mean?

Here's a little history on the origin of the motto.

Here's an article on Congress's responses over the years to the national motto.

Here's a proclamation by Abraham Lincoln appointing a national fast day.  Please read this.  What a proclamation from our government!  Could this happen today?  Should it?

Here's a response to a movement (Pulpit Freedom Sunday) in the church for pastors to start endorsing candidates and parties from the pulpit.  It's interesting that this movement is choosing October 7th which is Worldwide Communion Sunday as the day to endorse a person/party.

Enjoy.

A Counterintuitive Response to Chick-Fil-A

There is an interesting debate in the public arena regarding Chick-Fil-A, and their president's stance on marriage being between one man and one woman.  This is leading to all sorts of conversations and responses.  Some are boycotting Chick-Fil-A and some are trying to make a statement by eating there.  My good friend, Nate Pyle, pastor in Indianapolis, has written about this in his blog and I found it very helpful.  It is titled, A Counterintuitive Response to Chick-Fil-A.  Click on the title to read.

A Prayer

I came across this from a friend but am unclear of its source.  It is a prayer I'm trying to embrace but a little afraid to pray.

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
