Come to Me

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.    Matthew 11:28-30

Nothing Less Than A Conversion
John Stoner
         Today I came across a commentary I wrote a week after 9/11 in 2001.  I said at the time that the nation and the church needed a conversion on the question of violence.  It seems like we still need that conversion, so I'm re-running that article today.

Jesus as Prophet
John Stoner
     Continuing to recommend AMBASSADORS OF RECONCILIATION,  a book I identified here some weeks ago (click "view archive" and look at 11/18/09), today I'm sharing a quote from Myers and Enns.  They speak of Jesus as one who was not only a babe in a manger, but who disturbed the status quo as Dr. Martin Luther King did.
