Words can kill

Matthew 5:22

“I’m telling you that anyone who is so much as angry with a brother or sister is guilty of murder. Carelessly call a brother ‘idiot!’ and you just might find yourself hauled into court. Thoughtlessly yell ‘stupid!’ at a sister and you are on the brink of hellfire. The simple moral fact is that words kill.”

The Jesus I Never Knew by Phillip Yancy

At the recommendation of Mateen Elass, I’m listening to “The Jesus I Never Knew” by Phillip Yancy on Audible. I am finding it very thought provoking and challenging. How many people, as Yancy writes, still believe in the “Mister Rogers” Sunday School version of Jesus and miss out on the passionate, unpredictable, and sacrificial leader He was and is?

Check it out and be transformed!

Documentary Claims Jesus Never Existed

The documentary “The God Who Wasn’t There” makes, among others, the claim that Jesus never existed. In an earlier day, works like this would have been sequestered into the restricted section of the Vatican library. Now they are offered as mainstream media entertainment. Critical thinking and education among the laity of God’s church is more important than ever.

Do you know what you believe and why you believe it? I wonder if we’ll see mainline church leaders respond to this?
