Luke 2:1-14
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, [...]

“Honor Killing”???
Posted in Honor Killing, Human rights, Islam, Women on December 19, 2007 | 4 Comments »
The term “honor killing” is an oxymoron. Can murder be honorable? No, murder is never honorable! Not when a father kills his own daughter because she does not dress the way he desires.

For Your glory and your fame
It’s not about me
As if You should do things my way
You alone are God
And I surrender to your [...]

Please lift up little Kaeli to Lord as it is possible her cancer may have returned to her body. She also faces kidney surgery. I am sure that her parents covet your prayers for their precious daughter during this time of extreme suffering. Click.
The Meaning Behind the Advent Wreath
Posted in Advent, Christmas 2007 on December 8, 2007 | 5 Comments »
I’ve always loved the idea of the Advent Wreath. But as evangelicals we’ve lost some of the historical and liturgical traditions of our roots (which happen to be in Catholicism–pre-Reformation). At any rate, I think that as protestants we can still observe some traditions as long as they are Christ centered and remind us what [...]
