Some days. Read this, “I Spent 491 Days as a Hostage of Hamas. This Is My Story.” Now contrast it with this, “Sarah Mullally named as new Archbishop of Canterbury.” The later, published not long after the killings in Manchester makes passing reference to them, but then focuses on this person being the first Archbishop of Canterbury. And so we see a church lost. Confronted with direct, evident evil, the church focuses on far more trivial matters.. . .
It is a beautiful early fall morning. The usual commuter traffic drives by. The birds are chirping, the sun is rising and other than the complaining and kvetching on Facebook, I would have no idea the federal government is shutdown. Hmmmmm…. . .
First of all – Pray for the Philippines. Major earthquake – at least 69 dead. The fact that I cannot find this story on “the front page” of majornewspapers as of this writing is shameful. If the Beeb has it, the world has it. I know it is early in the morning, but don’t these big papers have any night staff? Or do they just not care? Either way, it is a sign of the self-absorption that possesses this nation that I was going to write about this morning anyway.. . .
We have suffered much violence, political and otherwise, of late. Much of it aimed directly at Christianity. We have lamented and bemoaned the violence. But the time has come to think about what to do.. . .
Yesterday I expressed my deep concern about the recent spate of actual physical attacks aimed at Christianity. But we are being targeted by more than violence. This morning the Washington Post carried an op-ed by an admitted Muslim, that seems mostly to say “Christianity is not all it is cracked up to be and Islam is not as bad as you say it is.” But it is based on a straw man.. . .
Hamlet – Act 1, Scene 5 – “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” I am a Presbyterian, one of the so-called “frozen chosen.” I am not prone to the more spectacular displays of Christian faith like “slaying in the spirit” or “speaking in tongues,” But this morning’s blatant and deadly attack on a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan is enough to make me say, right out loud, that the spiritual warfare that constantly surrounds us has decidedly turned very visible and very hot.. . .
There is a planting patch next to my back door. When we bought the place it was overgrown, the shrubs and flowers consumed by an ivy. I hired a crew to clean out the bed completely and replanted a few day lilies and a red bud tree. Only one problem – the ivy resprouts every few days. I have to spray the bed with a mild herbicide almost continuously to keep the ivy in check. The stuff is persistent, and I find myself struggling to know what to do.. The problem is deeper than I thought. So it is with our problems of political violence. It is going to take new and novel effort to eradicate them. . . .
