  • Lesson on forgiveness found in father’s tragedy

    Michael Davis did one of the hardest things any human being can do; he extended forgiveness to another person. Not some little peccadillo, mind you. He forgave the man who murdered his daughter. On Dec. 13, 2013, 17-year-old Claire Davis was shot and killed in the hallway of Arapahoe High School by 18-year-old Karl Pierson, who turned his gun on himself as authorities closed in on him.

  • Santa shouldn’t get equal billing to Jesus

    In light of the events of last week, I intended to address the controversy surrounding Duck Commander founder and Robertson family patriarch, Phil Robertson.
    But seeing as how it is Christmas Eve, I have opted to put that off a week and instead write about another bearded Christian who took a stand for biblical truth and had a desire for sinners to be reconciled to God through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
    No, I am not talking about Santa Claus, per se; I am referring to St. Nicholas of Myra.

  • Reality of evil most obvious lesson from Newtown

    On Dec. 14, 2012, we watched the news in horror as reports of a mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., were being broadcast on the national news outlets.
    As bits and pieces of information trickled in the horror turned to sorrow as we learned of the 20 first-graders and six educators who were senselessly gunned down by a mentally deranged young man; a man in dire need of help himself, who had somehow fallen through the cracks of societal ignorance and parental denial.

  • Celebrating Advent to prepare for Christ’s return

    Pastor and Chaplain Harold Dinsmore wrote, “Our Lord Jesus coming to earth was a history-changing, life-changing event. Had he not come on that night long ago as a babe in the manger, we would not have had the man Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. The reality of Advent never changes.”
    Most of us identify the “reality” of the Christmas season with traditional decorations and celebrations, and a sparkling tree with colored lights with mounds of brightly wrapped gifts beneath its branches.
