Waiting For Godot

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 22, 2001

How do we wait for God? 1. We wait patiently. 2. We wait expectantly. 3. We wait faithfully.

Samuel Beckett’s play, entitled Waiting for Godot, is a satire on the human condition. As Beckett sees it, humanity is waiting for Godot, or God, to come and save them, but he never shows up.

Why The Cross?

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000

Paul is adamant that the preaching of the Cross is central to the Gospel and what is should mean to believers.

There’s a striking phrase in St Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (6:14).
