I do desire for my fellow Christians and for myself, that more and more the great object of our thoughts, motives and acts may be ‘Jesus only.’ I believe that whenever our religion is most vital, it is most full of Christ. Moreover, when it is most practical, downright and common sense, it always gets nearest to Jesus. I can bear witness that whenever I am in deeps of sorrow, nothing will do for me but ‘Jesus only.’ I can rest in some degree in the externals of religion, its outward escarpments and bulwarks, when I am in health; but I retreat to the innermost citadel of our holy faith, namely, to the very heart of Christ, when my spirit is assailed by temptation, or besieged with sorrow and anguish.

The Birds!Hello Folks, Aunt Eunice here. I am in fine fettle now that spring has arrived and I hope you are too. Many signs of spring are all around as I am sure you’ve noticed. Daylight Savings Time means it’s light enough when I get home from the farm, seeing the crocuses bloom and the pussy willows budding. For the last two weeks, being around our house has been like being in the Alfred Hitchcock movie “The Birds”. Hundreds and thousands of starlings have migrated north and I swear, all of them are perched in my trees! The racket they make is quite loud. Sometimes they take off all at once for no apparent reason and swoop and swirl in unison like the beginning of a murmuration. It is a sight to behold!

Even most Christians don’t have a Biblical worldview. So, what’s a Biblical worldview? First, There is God and He is Truth. Second, “There was a Creation – an Act of God.” Third – “There was a Fall where sin entered the world precipitated by the Devil. And last, “There is Redemption – procured by Jesus Christ.” At APN [American Pastors Network] we urge pastors to prepare every sermon from a Biblical worldview perspective including the reality of an Eternal God, a Creation, a Fall with all the ugliness of sin, but thankfully – Redemption. That Redeemer is Jesus Christ – the sacrificial Lamb of God slain before the world began – to redeem – a depraved and sinful mankind. “Can I fully explain all that God did? No. But I can believe it and live it –and so can you! – Sam Roher

Was Jesus a racist in need of rebuke? Well, before we even examine the text of Mark chapter 7 or the claims of a progressive “pastor” and LGBT activist, consider 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Scripture is clear—Christ never sinned. And Scripture is also clear that racism (preferential treatment and hatred of others) is a sin (e.g., James 2:1–4). So was Jesus racist? No, absolutely not. Now here’s the argument “Pastor” Brandan Robertson made in a recent TikTok: Did you know that there’s a part of the Gospel of Mark where Jesus uses a racial slur? In Mark chapter 7 there’s the account of the Syrophoenician woman. A woman who is Syrian and Greek, both of which there were strong biases against within the Jewish community.
