People love to save whales, trees, spotted owls and an entire host of variables. Yet you tell them about people who are starving and so many times you will hear. "that's a shame".

Now of course I am plugging my own cause of which I am very interested in seeing succeed but this really does apply to all such causes.

Of course, this is a decision each Christian organization will need to make based on their mission, vision, calling, and leading.  There is no single answer or right answer for all Christian organizations.

 

The decision, in my opinion, should also not be any different under the Obama administration than it was under the Bush administration.

 

There were a number of organizations that got into legal trouble under the Bush admin

      Celebrating the character of our youth

How often we are filled with pride by the moving vocals, muscianship, artistic and/or athletic achievements of our youth and stedfastly encourage them to reach for the skies with the goal of achieving greatness in every level of their creative endeavors.

At social gatherings, religious or civic events, even at Grandma"s 88th birthday celebration, we enlist them to showcase their gifts and talents to every available seeing eye and listening ear.   We desire that all present and those who may hear of them in the future, know that their gifts and talents place them in a realm of being "special"  and obviously, are dese

Two Nations : Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal

Image of Two Nations : Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal
Author: Andrew Hacker
Publisher: Scribner (2003)
Binding: Paperback, 288 pages
Review: Why, despite continued efforts to increase understanding and expand opportunities, do black and white Americans still lead separate lives, continually marked by tension and hostility? In his much-lauded classic, newly updated to reflect the changing realities of race in our nation, Andrew Hacker explains the origins and meaning of racism and clarifies the conflicting theories of equality and inferiority. He paints a stark picture of racial inequality in America -- focusing on family life, education, income, and employment -- and explores the current controversies over politics, crime, and the causes of the gap between the races. Illuminating and oftentimes startling, Two Nations demonstrates how race has defined America's history and will continue to shape its future.

Image of My First White Friend: Confessions on Race, Love and Forgiveness
Author: Patricia Raybon
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics) (1997)
Binding: Paperback, 256 pages
Review: Newspaper columnist, writer and NPR commentator Patricia Raybon admits that she hated whites for years. She even tried unsuccessfully to whip up a similar rage in her parents. But anger got her nowhere. Eventually, in the philosophies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, she found an alternative: forgiveness. The first part of the book is a series of essays on the life experiences of herself and her father, and the racial history of the country; it ends with "Letter to My First White Friend," a grateful acknowledgment of a white girl at her mostly white high school. In part two of the book, further essays explore the process of moving beyond hate, and the new world it has opened up for Raybon.

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers (1995)
Binding: Paperback, 180 pages
Review: "The great tragedy today is not so much that our society is still divided along racial, cultural, and ethnic lines," says Dr. Tony Evans in this book. "The tragedy is, rather, that God's people, the church, are equally or even more deeply divided." In Let's Get to Know Each Other, Dr. Evans provides us with the answers, understanding, and encouragement we need to help break the bonds of separation and build a foundation united by Christ's love and saving power for all people.
