God Loves Variety!


God must love variety! That's what I keep thinking as I revel in the stunning colors and shades that are rampant in Hawaii. Today we took a bus tour of Oahu.

God is good, and God loves beauty and variety!

What Does It Mean to Be a "Christian"?


Does Elton Trueblood's definition of "a Christian" ring true for you?
A Christian is a person who confesses that, amidst the manifold and confusing voices heard in the world, there is one Voice which supremely wins his full assent, uniting all his powers, intellectual and emotional, into a single pattern of self-giving. That Voice is Jesus Christ. A Christian not only believes that He was; he believes in Him with all his heart and strength and mind. Christ appears to the Christian as the one stable point or fulcrum in all the relativities of history (The Company of the Committed, 23).
