Don’t just listen. Do.
The questions: Don't just listen to who? Do what? And the answers: Don't just listen to Jesus. Do what He said. In a sense, it seems so obvious. At least it should seem obvious that someone who calls themselves a Christian would naturally listen to Christ. And do what Christ ...

Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger … (or the bug)
When you're the batting practice ball - you just get hit over and over - with no chance for glory. At least if you're a ball in the big game - tied at the bottom of the ninth with two outs - you've got a chance for glory. Well - ...

Do we have to kill mountain lions to get rid of rats?
Do we have to kill mountain lions to get rid of rats? Apparently the answer is yes. Can't we do better than that? Shouldn't we be able to find another solution? Do we even want to find a better way? I live in the U.S., so that's my reference point. ...
