What a friend we have in Jesus (Music)

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

New Jersey pastor says thou shalt not use Facebook

Rev Cedric Miller orders church officials to delete their Facebook accounts after fears about marital troubles caused by the site. Thou shalt not commit adultery. And thou also shalt not use Facebook. That’s the edict from a New Jersey pastor who feels the two often go together. The Rev Cedric Miller said 20 couples among…

Simple Blessings

I’m sitting here listening to Christian music on the TV. I feel so peaceful. We miss so many blessings by always being in such a hurry. What is so important that we have to rush through life? We hit the floor running in the mornings and don’t stop until we fall into bed at night….

Go Compare…

To whom, then, will you compare God? What image will you compare him to? Isaiah 40:18 Comparisons, we make them all the time. Most of us comparing options on a daily basis. This weekend we seem to have been faced with a raft of choices that such comparisons invariably bring. What vehicle should replace our…

Honour God With Your Bodies

By lambskinny. Do you not know that your body is a shrine of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is God’s gift to you? You do not belong to yourselves; you are bought at a price. Then honour God in your body.” Paul wishes persons to control themselves and remain unmarried; but he recognizes…

God really is the answer

Peace, harmony, and righteousness can only happen through submission, forgiveness, and humility at the cost of control, fairness and honor. As humans we crave and fight for control, fairness and honor to get peace, harmony and righteousness. Often this fight is couched in the terms of fairness or equality. God pursues peace, harmony and righteousness…

Jesus Inspires Imitation

What a life of love Jesus lived! He went about doing good. He never expressed any concern for Himself. He didn’t burden others with anything that bothered Him. Instead, He just prayed about it. He was always prepared to do things for others, and never needed anyone to do anything for Him. Whenever someone did…

US Professor turn from Atheism to find more answers in Christianity

“Smart people don’t become Christians,” she thought, according to Biola University. Her worldview, however, began to change at age 31. She recounts her journey from atheism to Christianity in the recently released Not God’s Type: A Rational Academic Finds a Radical Faith. “It is no light matter to meet God after having denied Him all…

God’s Boxes.

I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold. He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold.” I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, > more… foto:illuminaut,flickr.com

We want to find exactly out what kind of beliefs students bring to science lessons, and how teachers can deal with them. Alom Shaha recently raised the issue of how science teachers should respond to being asked questions about God that arise in science lessons.

Is your relationship doomed? Test may tell

A new test can predict whether or not a relationship will last, researchers say. The test uses a word association task often employed to assess racism and bias to reveal what partners really think about each other, even if they don’t realize it. Most previous research on relationship success has focused on directly asking couples…

A quick note on theodicy

Our series on Job suggests that no one can decide for anyone else the question of whether God is god. This cuts both ways. I would not have thought, when we started this page, that we could run to a 500 comment thread on theodicy; few British newspapers imagine their readership is that passionate about…

New wine in old church buildings

All over the country small churches are growing while the large buildings that once housed them decay. This week saw the publication of the first national survey of England’s places of worship. The English Heritage survey, which documents the state of 14,500 church buildings from Gothic Anglican confections to nonconformist chapels and Quaker meeting houses, finds…

Where is God in all of this?

How can someone witness the birth of a child and not see God?  How is it that a mother’s body automatically adjusts its temperature when a baby is against her skin, ensuring that the baby doesn’t overheat, and God not have any part of that?? But how is it that when there’s an oil spill…

Frank Fenner: No hope for humans

Frank Fenner doesn’t engage in the skirmishes of the climate wars. To him, the evidence of global warming is in. Our fate is sealed. “We’re going to become extinct,” the eminent scientist says. “Whatever we do now is too late.” Fenner is an authority on extinction. The emeritus professor in microbiology at the Australian National…

‘My murdered uncle would not have wanted Ronnie Lee Gardner executed’

As the Utah firing squad did its job, two women embraced – both nieces, one of a victim, the other of the killer. In a darkened car park high on a hill overlooking the sparkling nightscape of Salt Lake City, two young women are clinging to each other and weeping. Their embrace conveys more than…

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

‘The pen is mightier than the sword’ was coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy, in 1839: True, This! – Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold The arch-enchanters wand! – itself a nothing! – But taking sorcery from the master-hand To paralyse…

A Night in Dubai

Via marksobhani. I had a hard time deciding what to do with my 20-hour layover in Dubai. It’s a place I’ve wanted to visit for a long time and I knew I wasn’t going to see it all in the time I had. Since I wouldn’t get out of the airport until well after dark,…

The Congo Color

Richard Mosse, an Irish photographer, was interviewed by The New Yorker recently on his strange yet beautiful photo project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. While in the Eastern provinces, Mosse used an obscure film called Aerocrome to cast the country in a dazzling red-hued array of colors. The photo technique puts the militarized…

Yup, we killed an ocean

Via sparklingbytheway. This whole oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has really upset me. This is odd because I am not an exceptionally “green” person. I mean, I am not opposed to recycling or low emission cars, but occasionally I will still toss a recyclable item in with the regular garbage and I refuse…

Female attacks on religious police show shift in Saudi values

Recent attacks on Saudi Arabia’s ‘morality police’ suggest public support for intrusive religious law enforcement is waning. Something’s afoot in Saudi Arabia. In the past month, there have been two incidents where Saudi women, when questioned or harassed by the notorious “morality police” from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, have…

Faith and Works

I will forewarn the reader that even though I will write the following as I do, I am still presently a person who professes to be an agnostic in regards to metaphysical realities. A couple of years ago, I believe it was, I had glanced upon a tract left by a Jehovah Witness.  On it…

Ritual Cruelty

After similar, astonishing reports in the USA, it appears that The Royal Australian New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) is about to discuss allowing doctors to perform a ‘ritual nick’ on a young girl’s genitals in order to satisfy some cultures’ needs – in place of ritual genital mutilation. Former sex discrimination commissioner, Pru…

Why ?

I saw a Tweet on Twitter yesterday by @worldprayr that serves as a launching point for where I’m going with today’s post. It was: “You will never be in a situation where God is not in control, that God hasn’t authorized & God is big enough to handle it!” I’ve thought about some things since…

The Spiritual Side of Sustainability

After writing my vision of sustainability I have started to think about sustainability as a religious revival of sorts. There have been many religious movements in the past that I feel share a lot with the current sustainability and social justice movements. I’m by no means the first to make this connection. Paul Hawken comes…

Freedom of press under attack in Uganda

A new bill tabled before parliament threatens the freedom of the press in Uganda. The country’s journalists need the world to speak out against it, says Richard M Kavuma. Like many soldiers who seized power with the gun, promising clean leadership in post-colonial Africa, the Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, has had problems putting earlier patriotic…
