#186 church worship

Last evening was Friendship Sunday at worship service. This is evangelistic outreach — is this worship service? Can certain worship service on Sundays be made evangelistic meeting? Do Christians need to add color to the normal liturgical worship? What is worship? The speaker was youth parish staffworker who spoke from John 5:1-18, he kept harping on the phrase [...]

#162 religious freedom

In an earlier post I complimented President George Bush that he was smart in his decision to attend the Olympic Opening Ceremony in Beijing — smart does not equate wise though.

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered [...]
