‘Continue to Pray for Christians Remaining in Afghanistan’ (Christian Blogger)

We have this from our friend SlimJim’s “Veritas Domain” blog (aka The Domain for Truth):

The Church during 2021: Continue to Pray for the Christians remaining in Afghanistan

Do you want to know why Paul said we ought to pray unceasingly? Look at this world of 2021! When we say Christians in Afghanistan are in danger, we mean in danger of being killed. This is not Canada or California, where they just shut down the churches. This is where they kill you.

There is a prayer request video embedded in the text.

Will the Church in Afghanistan be able to survive at all? Western churches don’t do much to protect persecuted Christians in China, India, and elsewhere. Often there really isn’t much they can do.

But we are all in this together, and we need our prayers.

Christian Blogger: How to Think About ‘Woke’

7_questions_christians_should_think_about_and_ask_concerning_woke_claims

Our friend and colleague “SlimJim” has a thoughtful essay on questions Christians should ask about “Woke.” It’s a lot more thoughtful and careful than I would ever be, dealing with this exasperating topic. But then he’s a real minister and I’m not.

7 Questions Christians Should Think About and Ask Concerning Woke Claims

I’m inclined to write ’em off, “If you’re woke, you’re a joke.” But Jim goes much deeper than that and you should probably listen to him instead of me. “Woke” individuals may sometimes be pointing to real problems, real wrongs, that ought to be addressed.

I salute Jim for his patience.

‘The Immutability of God’ (Christian Blogger)

Here’s a Bible study by our friend and colleague, “SlimJim,” on his blog, “Veritas Domain.”

Does God ever really change His mind about anything?

God’s attribute: The Immutability of God Part 2

The question’s not as easy as it looks! After all, God made us in His image, and we change our minds all the time. But it’s important to remember that God made us “in His image”; He didn’t make us gods. No, He didn’t do that! But because He is in a very real sense our Father, we can’t help viewing Him in human terms.

Jimmy’s essay delves deeply into the matter.
