Media Humanism
Here is a great example of how humanism is creeping into our media.
Hi, dear friends,
You who love Christ should see this information. I chanced to see a bit of Oprah, though I do not watch her program. I saw her introduce the book and “life transformation” program by Eckart Tolle, and I […]

If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines.
She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds […]

In reality, faith always springs from a relationship. You don’t have faith that it won’t rain for your party tomorrow or to win the lottery. Faith is the result of believing someone.

———————————————————————————-
NOTE: Below is an extract from a secular newspaper in Asheville,
North Carolina, USA - from a few days ago. The thing that struck

From my friend Sandra Hampe:
If you did not have an opportunity to watch this evening’s first half of this miniseries, please consider watching the second half tomorrow evening. This email does a good job of presenting the situation. David Cunningham, Director, is the son of Loren Cunningham, Founder of Youth With A Mission. […]

We generally assume this coming of the Kingdom has to do with something that happens in the future. But what if we look for places where it has already happened? Some years ago now George Otis, Jr. started looking for cities where the Kingdom has come. He (the last time I talked with him) […]
