A difficult thing for me to do is pray for my enemies. Today, on September 11th,  I’m reminded of the evil in the world and how many enemies all of us have. What is our response? In Matthew 5:44 Jesus instructs us to pray for them: “But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for…

Today marks one of the worst tragedies in United States history. We will never forget. Today, we pray for the victims of 9/11, the peace and unity of our world and country, and in the words of Jesus, we pray for our enemies. i close my eyes doomed to ingestall the paper, all the dustall…

File this under, “What are you thinking?” Terry Jones, a pastor of a church in Gainesville, FL made national headlines by hatching a plan to burn 200 copies of the most holy book in Islam, the Koran.

At least 24 children were among the hundreds that were recently raped in the Congo.  “Attackers blocked roads and prevented villagers from reaching outside communications. Many homes were also looted.Many of the victims were raped by two to six men, according to the United Nations…

Just a sampling of what I saw while in Oxford this week.

Malcolm Muggeridge was a fascinating Englishman. And while in Muggeridge’s homeland, I thought it fitting to bring you a deep thought from him.
