WORDS TO PONDER
--John Owen, The Glory of Christ
If you read only one book this year--besides the Bible, of course--let it be Owen's sublime and powerful work, The Glory of Christ. A very readable edition can be found here: http://www.monergismbooks.com/The-Glory-of-Christ-p-16143.html.

THE GOSPEL IS OURS TO PROCLAIM--
NOT EDIT
I came across the statement above at aomin.org. In a time of political correctness and moral relativism (both within the church and without), it is refreshing to encounter Christians who truly believe that the gospel is to be proclaimed, not edited or changed.Monday, January 07, 2008
DATELINE: INDIA
According to a friend who is a missionary to India, Christians in the state of Orissa have experienced intense persecution the last few weeks. At least thirty churches were burned and hundreds of Christians had to flee to the jungle or to refugee camps. The violence was unleashed by Hindu fanatics as the churches were celebrating their Christmas services. Please pray for Indian brothers and sisters in Christ during this difficult time.
