In my files I have a comment of an economics professor who explained his problem with Jesus. He said, “I really don’t see how Jesus can be the only way to heaven.

You're Invited To A Party!

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 8, 2002

God is throwing a huge party and you’re invited. The only way you get in is by special invitation and by putting on wedding clothes. At the same time the world demands your loyalty and is having a party of it’s own - so which party do you want to go to?

As a reporter I often got to go places that others didn’t. Sometimes it was to places others wouldn’t want to go – like behind police lines or maybe to Iceland.

Healed But Not Whole

Contributed by Rex E. Faile on Jan 31, 2007

This story of the 10 lepers which Jesus healed is a perfect example to some of our problems today. That which we seek is not what we really need. In the process we put ourselves and others under pressure to make us whole when only Christ can do this.
