Last updated on: May 10, 2014 at 6:51 pm By Jim Erwin

Proverbs 6:20-23 A Mother’s Teaching Dan Baber honored his mother by posting an auction on eBay titled “Best Mother in the World.” The winning bidder would receive an email from his mom, Sue Hamilton, that would “make you feel like you are the most special person on the earth.” During the auction’s seven-day run, 42,711 people—enough to fill most major league baseball stadiums—took a look. Ninety-two offered a bid, pushing the price from a $1 opening to a $610 closing. Isn’t it... Read more

A Beauty Pageant with a Purpose

Last updated on: May 7, 2014 at 9:52 pm By Jim Erwin

“The king loved Esther more than all the other women. She won more favor and approval from him than did any of the other young women. He placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti. The king held a great banquet for all his officials and staff. It was Esther’s banquet. He freed his provinces from tax payments and gave gifts worthy of the king’s bounty.” (Esther 2:17–18, HCSB) A beauty... Read more

The Word on the Street by Rob Lacey

Last updated on: May 7, 2014 at 3:10 am By Jim Erwin

The Word on the Street by Rob Lacey is first and foremost a paraphrase of the Bible. The book was written with the sole purpose of getting people interested in reading the Bible. This book would be the Bible if you read it like people communicate today – newspaper, email, and social networks. This paraphrase of the Bible was written by a poet.

Simple Church by Thom Rainer, Eric Geiger

Last updated on: May 7, 2014 at 1:21 am By Jim Erwin

Simple Church by Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger Simple Church by Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger can be summarized with the book’s tagline: Returning to God’s Process for Making Disciples. The book’s main objective for the reader is to simplify the process of the church’s mission to making disciples. With cues from the surrounding culture, the authors contend that the church has made making disciples too complicated. In today’s culture, simple is effective. The iPod’s design (as well as...

Supreme Court Prayer Case

Last updated on: May 6, 2014 at 7:44 pm By Jim Erwin

The Supreme Court has upheld prayer at government meetings according to this article from USA Today. I was a little surprised to read a Supreme Court prayer case decision that favored Christianity. I am happy that the local clergy will still be able to pray at events like this. The 5-4 decision was split along religious ideological lines according this article from the Washington Post. (All the dissenters except Sotomayor are Jewish. She is Catholic, as are all of the justices... Read more

A devoted pastor was facing serious surgery, and a friend visited him in the hospital to pray with him. “An interesting thing happened today,” the pastor told him. “One of the nurses looked at my chart and said, ‘Well, I guess you’re preparing for the worst!’ I smiled at her and said, ‘No, I’m preparing for the best. I’m a Christian, and God has promised to work all things together for good.’ Boy, did she drop that chart and leave... Read more
