scripture

 

Psalm 34:14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

 

quote

 

A stone thrown into a pond creates waves which are practically imperceptible before they reach the shore.  A shout thrown into the air re-echoes for a few moments, then dies away forever.  But the life of Jesus, sacrificially thrown into the lives of His disciples, kindled there a new life that has never died away.

Walter Horton

 

thoughts

 

Christians have a message. That message is that Jesus is the remedy for the ills of this earthly life. This is the greatest news ever to be shared and we need to share it! People are dying, fading away in the abuse of this life. Hopelessness, fear, worry, and hate are digging deeper because we lack the “whatever” to speak up. I must, you must, we must speak the truth into this decaying, dying world. The question therefore is how to engage the world and then for those ideas to become action. Let’s focus on developing a real orthoproxy.
