Are you ready for the return of Nine Inch Nails?

Speaking of ready, are you pumped for the final season of Breaking Bad? Do you think Walt White will live?

I have been serving as a pastor at an inner city church for more than 5-years now.  We are one of those churches who are committed to helping the “least among us” (Matt. 25:31-46).  As such, we hold annual “Free Markets” where we challenge each of our members to give away their extra to the needy.  We also help feed the food insecure every Friday evening.

I was preparing to preach on 1 John 1:1-6 for this past weekend and read dozens of commentaries on what John means by “light” and “darkness.”  It seemed as if twenty-four commentators had twenty-five opinions on what John really meant by using these two terms.

I have always been struck by how different the ending of Mark is from the other three Gospels.  Unlike, Matthew, Luke and John, the risen Lord is not presented, only referred to as the women who have gone to the tomb flee in fear (that is if you accept the shorter ending of Mark, which I do). 

Norman Borlaug was truly an American hero who won a Nobel Price in 1970.  Who was Norman Borlaug?

Dr. Borlaug was an American agronomist who was able to produce seeds that yield more food on the same acreage and are better at withstanding harsh weather.
