At least once a week we read about extreme abuse: murder! by a person known to the victim.<BR/><BR/>In churches we hear about love,relationship, unity, serving others, which is considered part of the good news. We know the other side of the coin is "bad news". Very seldom do we hear publicly ( from pulpits) that side addressed. Or is that side more suitable to be addressed by the courts?? kind of late.....<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Whatever happens in society happens in the church. And instead of the ethereal(pie in the sky?) preaching , lets get real. <BR/>There IS hope by the presence of God and caring people but we must first see OUR WORLD as it is, not as we think it ought to be. Then we can deal with the reality of many situations of which we are as much a part as anybody else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140751478530786985.post-40262394588874760442008-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:002008-12-02T19:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting this article.
