Jesus Justice: So Easy A Five Year Old Can Do It?


Righting Wrongs - simply that!

If you ever get a chance to head to NYC - maybe even a trip to China Town in Manhattan for some of the soupy dumplings at Joe's Shanghai (I highly recommend them!!) I started my week right listening to this session that Jeremy Del Rio shared at the Urban Youth Workers Institute this year. Take the hour or so to get this mp3 under your belt. It will be well worth the time.
(click here for the audio) but make the trip to http://JeremyDelRio.com on a regular basis for great links, resources and connections.

LEST WE ERR...

Friends,
Because I believe that Christians should uphold righteousness at every opportunity, I want to STRONGLY encourage you to visit Snopes.com to validate any of the politically charged messages that you consider forwarding. It is important that Christians not be perceived as gullible purveyors of information that is NOT TRUTH. I believe it is serious to have to choose our candidates wisely, and I believe that the People of God are going to have a wonderful opportunity to support righteousness. As I read Chris Brook's posting on a Prophetic Word, I am even more convinced that is so. I am attaching the MODIFIED text to accentuate the use of inflammatory rhetoric that many are going to use, but this is not a defense or railing against any candidate at all. Your choice is yours alone, and your convictions must be reflected in your choice. -RMaxT
