T.E. Hannah on The Problem with a (Merely) Personal Jesus
T.E. Hannah on The Problem with a Personal Jesus
Should I “accept” Jesus as my “personal savior”? What does this entail, and how does it resonate with the Good News message?
T.E. Hannah’s Analysis, in short:
1. Christians Are Called To Follow, Not Accept
2. Christians Conform To Christ, Not Christ To Christians
3. Christians Are Called To Community, Not Isolation
4. Christians Are Called To Serve, Not Be Served
5. Christians Are Saved For More Than Just Themselves

Nick Hornby helps Kid President write a letter to Santa
Kid President needs help writing a letter to Santa, so he enlists the help of award-winning author Nick Hornby.
Turkey
Just. Be. Thankful.
All the time.
Today especially, because it has become a day of dedication in our national conscience.
But don’t only be thankful, because an expression of thankfulness is in vain if not living and active.
Thankfulness involves not taking our blessings for granted. It means not abusing them. It means not wasting them. It means not using them only for yourself. It means using them wisely.
The number one thing people seem to be thankful for on this day, at least, what we express, is family. If we are thankful for family, we will show it.
Let’s all think about that as we sit with family to eat. And not just our family.
Think about that when you wake up to shop for a great deal for your family tomorrow. Think about that as you make the decisions that you do in order to obtain those gifts. After all, if you’re going through all this to get a good deal, you’re not doing it for family. You’re doing it for yourself. So don’t go overboard, and don’t forsake your family or your integrity.
Happy Turkey!

What’s Wrong with These Guys?

Egyptians or Amorites? Who’s it Gonna Be?
You heard a debate the other day. It was between two guys likely to take the role of single individual holding the most official power in America. Seems like a big deal. It is, in a way, but when you look at the big picture, it ends up not being much of one at all. Still, a pretty big deal.
So many of you will likely think of picking choice A or B. I see why. I mean, this is how the game seems to work, right? People give you two choices and you pick one of them. And to be fair, in all likelihood, it will be one of these two fellas. That’s how the system tends to work. I will tell you now that I don’t intend on voting for either of these guys.
One way in which it has been explained is this:

No matter what anyone says, economy is a heavily moral issue. It is not a side issue.

Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Sponges
Sponge Facts:
When you scrub your floors, decorate the wall with paint, or just wash your car, you may be using an organism to do the job. Many people do not know that sponges are animals. As a matter of fact, sponges are the simplest of organisms in the animal kingdom. The aquatic sponges all belong to the phylum Porifera, which means “pore bearers”, and is the only phylum in the animal subkingdom Parazoa.
