Wednesday November 16, 2005

RIP: Adrian Rogers, longtime Bellevue pastor and leader in Conservative Resurgence, died yesterday at the age of 74. BPNews reports.

Community: Carla wonders if she should have offered a ride to a rather downtrodden looking hitchhiker. She is looking for input. “I wished last night, that we lived in a world where it was not only okay, but expected of strangers, to stop and help another man or woman, who needed help.”

But Amber gives him something to ponder as she talks to him about recent Christian fads.”

  • The Men Who Have Done Most for God in this World

    “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.” This quote from E.M. Bounds would work perfectly well without the word “early.” It would then say, “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been on their knees.” Taken that way,…
