I found this in my email today. A deep and genuine concern for other people will remind us that the discovery of truth is not to be a victory for some and a defeat for others. Unless all can claim a share in that victory, truth itself will continue to be rejected by the losers, [...]

Headlines
The Charleston Gazette featured a story about the Southern Baptist Convention held in Loiusville Ky. The article stated that Southern Baptists had not kept up with the growth spurt among the blacks and Latinos and predicted numerous church closings in the future due to this and an aging population.

The Movement of God
