    The model of caring offered by Jethro has much to offer the church in responding to the crisis of care and how we need not depend on a superstar to get by.

    Miracles happen when we understand that 1.Jesus cares about our everyday needs. 2. Jesus transforms our everyday experiences. 3. Jesus extravagantly provides for our everyday requests.

    I want to talk today about the danger of anger; or more accurately about the temptation to let our anger consume us.

    I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,868 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more
