Update: Latest school shooting in Colorado   'His intent was evil': Colorado high school gunman intended to shoot numerous people, sheriff says By Daniella Silva, NBC News He shot Claire Esther Davis , 17, who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as he headed toward the library. The girl suffered severe head trauma and remains in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.   "Our beautiful daughter Claire Davis has severe head trauma as a result of a gunshot. She needs your continued prayers," the family statement read.  Note:  The lone gunman killed himself after shooting Claire though clearly armed to do much more.  Thanks to the actions of an officer, the results were far less than the carnage he apparently wished to unleash.  Please join me in praying for Claire and all those impacted by this act of violence. image location Join me in praying for the families of Newtown who will experience their second Christma...

Love Wins by Rob Bell: My Thoughts on Chapter 3, “Hell” (49% of the Kindle version completed)

Note: the numbering system is from the Kindle version of the book. If you don’t have a Kindle for PC version, the numbers are probably useless to you. The chapters are clearly marked and as best as possible, I try to answer his arguments in the order they are presented. According to Matthew 25:41, Hell is a place prepared for the Devil and his angels. The reason is that they rebelled against God. In v. 41, we are told that the “cursed” will be separated from God by being cast into everlasting fire. The greater context of this verse begins in v. 31. It is not a parable Jesus told (story using earthly objects to explain spiritual truth). Instead, it is truth about His coming. When He comes, with His holy angels, we call this the Second Coming of Christ, He will sit on His throne and judge the nations.

My Review of "God Gave Us So Much" by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Image
God Gave Us So Much by Lisa Tawn Bergren is a delightful children’s book.  The story’s setting is in a place where a polar bear family live.  This family has grandparents, parents and children.  Little Cub learns quite a bit from her parents and her grandparents about the nature of God; his creation; and his gifts to us which include the world, love and heaven. From her mama, she learns about the world around them and so far away; a world that God gave to them.  The nature of God is explained in child-friendly language.  God is creative with a diverse creation, He is awesome (BIG), and amazing.  The purpose of living in this world is to serve and worship God who made it and to take care of it.  Stewardship of the planet is emphasized in such a balanced way that both sides of the environmental debate should be happy.  Not only did God give us the world but he also gave love, explains Grandpa Bear.  God’s love is shown to his cre...
