The thief will do anything to keep me from the Abundant Life found in Christ. I also remember Jesus said we must "watch and pray", if we don't do both it's easy to fall for the tricks of satan because our flesh is weak.

You have described the issues that my husband and I talk about. <br /><br />Touchstone Magazine offers articles about our culture from a Christian perspective. The current magazine has an interview with Jonathan Last who wrote What to Expect When No One's Expecting. Mr. Last suggests that our society has moved to a pursuit of "individual happiness" away from community or family concern.<br /><br />What are we to do as Christians? Teach our children and grandchildren. Provide support for single mothers. Participate in the work of the church. Persist in voicing our faith and point of view, even when criticized. Encourage one another--I love the book of Thessalonians.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297940214988384902.post-72359790015776112422013-05-11T05:47:21.922-07:002013-05-11T05:47:21.922-07:00Thanks, April.

I was struck by the fact that a concert was given in NY this week to benefit the Hurricane Sandy rebuilding effort because the government does not have the resources to cover everything. Nor should they. It's a perfect example of how the private sector can manage money and resources so much better than the government can, yet there is a growing segment of folks in this country who want the government to take on more.Laura Hodges Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922456545952355890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297940214988384902.post-89416878053043094042012-12-14T04:59:25.738-08:002012-12-14T04:59:25.738-08:00There is no common sense in DC.

We have idols inside the church. How can we show the world the love of Christ, when He isn't our first love? God has been telling me over and over..."you can't pour out what's not inside you." The church can't pour out love and knowledge of God if it doesn't have it in them. <br />We must get back to the basics. Sin is Sin We either serve God and obey Him or we don't. No. Middle. Ground.
