When You Feel Dead On The Inside

“So what do you do when you feel dead on the inside? What do you say to your loved ones when they feel this way? I’ve found that people who reflect on the following 10 diagnostic questions find the life and energy they’ve been missing more quickly and deeply than those that don’t. The way you answer these questions will determine what steps you need to take next.”

Upon The Death Of A Grandson

Phillip Jensen mourns his grandson. “I prayed that God would take my three score and ten years in place of his less than one score. But it doesn’t work like that. There is only one who can die for others and he has already done it on the cross two thousand years ago. Nathan knew that and continued to testify to that truth throughout his remaining months.”

This Day in 1977. 40 years ago today the Supreme Court of India ruled that the work of Christian evangelists was a threat to the “freedom of conscience” guaranteed to all citizens of India. *

Racial Reconciliation in 2017

Where do we go from here? “Fifty years later, at the beginning of a new year, many of us are asking the same question as Dr. King.
