A Matter of Perspective

Gaining Courage:

I caught a Ray Comfort clip on Facebook today and spent some time reflecting on it a bit.  Ray was doing what Ray does, sharing the gospel through love in public.  Sometimes though, he shares the gospel with some pretty interesting people.  People who under normal circumstances you and I would never think to approach with the good news of the gospel.  And this was one of those times.  But that's Ray, if you've got a pulse, you're going to hear the gospel.

It was a really neat clip and I decided to read through the comments section to see what people were saying about it.  The comments were overwhelmingly positive which did not surprise me, but one stream of thought was coming through in the comments that really got me thinking.  Paraphrasing the posters a bit, the comment was, "How do you find the courage and boldness to deliver the gospel to people like this?"  What an interesting question.  Read on for my thoughts...

Who's Really in Charge Anyway?

Making Sense of Chaos

 

While I may not be living in America right now, it is impossible not to observe the tension, cynicism, and toxic rhetoric that is engulfing the social dialog within the nation right now over its leadership.  This morning, I watched a video on social media that asked the question, “How can Any Christian Support Trump?”

While the presentation was a little more than a crude, profanity-laced, judgment of the nation’s leader, it does raise an interesting question that is worth consideration, “Who’s really in charge anyway?” And as a Christian, “What should we make of all of this?”
