Page Contents: NY Times

Our news section is a collection of mostly unfiltered and g-rated news links, with both Christian and secular authors. We are linking to several news feeds, with each news provider supplying their own view of the world. The views range politically from the New York Times on the left (far left?), to the World Net Daily, which leans toward the right, so politically we have the far left to the far right represented here...

Most "news feeds" from news providers (like the Washington Post) require that the feed be published without editing, so we do not have the ability to accept or reject specific news items. When we do carry a "news feed" from a specific news provider, we do not filter the news links, so (as usual, and often said) "We do not necessarily agree with the views, opinions, morals, politic party, denomination, or expression of spiritual gift." This is a general mix of Christian and secular links, with both highlights and lowlights.

My prayer is that Christ would be glorified by the political discussion on issues that relate to God's people. It is clear that He is indeed glorified through our debate on issues like abortion, faith in public places, and other hot button issues for the Church.

To close this message, we would like to offer this prayer: Father, we thank You and praise You for the ability to read and hear the news around the world. Help us Lord to understand the news, and teach us how to respond to events in the news according to your will (e.g. leave a donation at your local Bible believing Church, volunteer at food bank...). Help us to grow in faith, as we read, hear, and see news that challenges our beliefs. Help us to use these tests as a means of spiritual growth as we study Your Word. And bring peace to the world, Lord, which we know is coming through You. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
