Something to Consider

Posted in Church Life at 10:20 am by Jim

Where do you go for help?  In a recent survey, when asked that question, 45% suggested a medical doctor, 60% a mental health professional, but only 20% suggested a church, minister, rabbi, or priest, and just 14% suggested a spouse, relative, or friend.   Fewer than that mentioned God.  It’s amazing that the only source of real help is the very source we ignore most.

Over in Jerusalem at the University of the Holy Land, Stephen Pfann has posted a photo of a First Century Jewish house which so nicely illuminates the sort of place Jesus would have been born in that it is certainly worth seeing.  As they say, a picture is worth 1000 words.  This picture certainly is worth more than that.
