Why advertise secular movie?
August 23 2010 by Tina Hight, Durham, N.C.
I have been convicted by the Holy Spirit to tell you something. I have to tell you how shocked and very disappointed I was when I saw an advertisement for a movie (Nanny McPhee) that is based on black magic — which is not an illusion but magic that cannot be figured out. How could you? God’s word warns us of the separation of Him and black magic (Rev. 22:14-15). ...

Pulpit is no altar
August 17 2010 by David A. Williams, Waynesville and Whittier, N.C.
Vernacular language has been around a long time, yet a recent phenomenon is taking a biblical word to places it was never intended to be. The word is “altar.” We often hear the term “an altar of prayer” used to describe a gathering of people to pray vocally and simultaneously at the “altar.” I have a problem with both usages, and believe the scriptures will bear me out. ...

Book good for reflection
August 10 2010 by Joe Babb, Arden, N.C.
I’ve just finished reading a book written by a long time friend of mine, C. Fred Werhan, of Hominy Valley west of Asheville. He entitled it: Some Things I Said While Trying to Preach the Gospel.

Day 6 Haiti: It had to happen
It had to happen, I suppose. After a week of mass numbers, gross results and overwhelming needs assaulting every sense — 230,000 killed in 30 seconds; 1,300 refugee camps; 3,000 helping agencies at work among victims; 80 percent unemployment; 50 percent literacy; only 40 percent with access to clean water — I thought I'd grown heart callouses hard enough to deflect any emotional tugs while I w...
