    This Week In Haiti (Or, Don't Be A Walnut)

    Contributed by R. Joseph Owles on Jun 22, 2011
     | 2,865 views

    Yes, of course I am proud of the human response and the Christian response to such tragedy. But I am saddened that this is the exception and not the norm. I am saddened that among Christians, we aren’t doing this every day, for every one, earthquake or no

    So, as everyone knows, there was an earthquake in Haiti, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, thousands and thousands of people buried alive awaiting rescue, and nearly everyone else scrambling for basics–water, food, shelter. It was a tragic event. No one can deny the severity of ...read more

    We know in farming & agriculture that long before a harvest is reaped there has been some ploughing of the soil. Any farmer can tell you that the idea of reaping a crop without ploughing the soil is ludicrous! Is it any different with the soil of the hear

    This message is about how powerful the words "Let", "It", and "Be" are in Scripture as it relates to how we are to function as Christians in this world.

    God wants the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn within us. However, tragically, once the fire of the Spirit is ignited, we often grab a fire extinguisher and douse the flame. This message looks at why and how this tragic occurrence happens.

    There was once a small, quiet town in which fires began to pop up on a frequent basis. It wasn’t long until people discovered that the source of these fires was a pyromaniac. It was actually the Fire Chief himself! This fellow “would secretly start the fires and then work to extinguish them . . ...read more

    How is it that the guards at the tomb had first hand experience of the power of the resurrection, and yet, they chose not to believe?

    I was amused by a cartoon of two Roman soldiers guarding Jesus’ tomb on the first Easter morning. Each is holding a mug of tea in his hand, and the sun is just rising above the horizon. One is encouraging the other. "Cheer up, it’s Sunday morning. As I see it, we have one more day of guarding the ...read more
