What freedom? They faced immense opposition. The hostility towards them went beyond words. Some of them shed blood. Some even died. They died, they bled, they suffered for what they believed in.

Read More The Fight For What Freedom?Good friends really are priceless. There was this conversation I had with a good friend. In the conversation we recalled an intriguing practice in certain church settings. There are some who believe that church is about the people, not really about the buildings or other things.

Read More Maybe Reverse The Order?“I love you all.” I hear that from time to time. Thankfully not from me, but when I hear it, I always have a quizzical look on my face.

Read More Waiting for You: A Prayerful ReflectionThe Football Picture Sport – particularly football – provides a lot of pictures for me that applies to more than the game.
