What do you think? What are the traits of a humble person? How do you know that you’re being humble? We know Jesus wants us to be humble, but how can we know when we truly are there? Do you agree with Mark Driscoll that we are prideful people working on being humble?

First of all, here is a video which contains a section of a sermon by John Piper given around the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision and seems to be a direct response to some of President Obama’s statements made at that time. I thought it was very powerful and was very blessed to view it.
Second, a bit of very interesting news, is that there was some sort of decision made recently in Sweden where you cannot forbid abortions based on Gender selection. I know I’m operating outside my worldview, but why would it matter if someone used gender as apposed to any other reason as a reason to abort? Click here to read the article.

They’re talking about love at Inhabitatio Dei, from Bonhoeffer. I have a great of respect for Bonhoeffer, living as he did, through dark times, admitting that darkness was there and offering a faithful alternative to overcoming it through Christ. I admit that I have not spent a lot of time in more purely theological or philosophical pursuits. I mostly deal with historical and biblical questions. But this I could not pass up, I found it extremely moving and relevant in my own life and relationships.

Thought I’d take a break from the WWYD series this week. Hope it has been thought provoking and helpful for your own journey. I recently stumbled across a website which has been both hilarious and educational. I wanted to share a recent post from this blog which I really enjoyed. It is from the website “Stuff Christians Like.” The blog author has been compiling a list of “stuff Christians like” over the years to communicate the good, bad and comical of the modern church. (Here are numbers 1-500). Let me know your thoughts of the post below.

What “recipe” do we use to find the truth of God. For Christians, we say, “The Scriptures, of course.” And that’s certainly the way to go. But what happens when we say, “The Scriptures plus . . .” I recently came across this quote from Eugene Robinson, bishop in the Epicopal Church, USA.

from Karen’s quote for the day email:
In Dunkin’ Donuts this morning,
an old lady wearing a tattered watch cap
started speaking to no one in particular.
“I can’t sleep at night.
I have pains in my chest all the time.
My leg hurts and my children do not love me.”People waiting in line
hid in their cellphones, looked away
or stared straight ahead.“I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know where to turn.
My husband died two years ago on the 27th.”
