There are two: One is a bible basics that most of our new believers go into, and the second is a bit more advanced, usually keying in on a book of the bible or a biblical character.

Though I identified with the Christian right, I have the thought many times that those at are the most outspoken seem to be going about changing the world in the wrong way or at least gaining attention in a negative way for Christians. When I think about Jesus and how he went out to the city gates and met with the sinners and outcasts and loved and spoke into their lives; he didn't preach without a motive to save and show his love for them. Whether they accepted him was up to them. He didn't preach for the sake of hearing himself preach. Thanks for the challenge. I have been challenged by the sermon series so far.

That is helping a lot. I would never have guessed how life would change even in my own home because of the technological advances.I have never been to Kansas but it sounds like a nice place.

It is not fair to ignor the disadvantage and suffering that the victims of racism have to cope with. It is sad to hear their stories-such as random arrests, job offers suddenly withdrawn, uncomfortable stares when they try to buy a house etc. My neighbors have recounted these things to me.The more people I meet the more alike we all seem-trying to care for children and families.

Mon, 24 May 2010 14:54:53 +0000 http://dhefc.org/?p=1710#comment-115 Hi. I think I have figured out why people who lived in a racially mixed community tend to be more racist than those in a predominantly white (or predominantly whatever race) neighborhood. We spend so much time with the different groups that we get to see the good and bad sides of that group. As humans, we tend to remember the bad traits more than the good traits-- and that's where we say to ourselves- "ah! the stereotypes are true." I will admit that I shamefully have done that in the past... Hi.
