(ABP) -- Wildfires recently destroyed 120,000 acres and 180 homes in an area 100 miles west of the city where I live. Driving through the region, I was amazed by the indiscriminate nature of the damage. A torched field stood next to an untouched wooden swing set. First Baptist Church of Possum Kingdom lost their sanctuary but their gymnasium was intact. Why the winds push wildfires in one direction and not another is a mystery.

(ABP) -- Throughout the coming weeks, Christians around the world will continue to celebrate an exciting Easter season and the reality of the risen Christ. The scriptures used for worship and devotion during this time include Jesus’ physical appearance to his disciples following his resurrection. They also emphasize that we do not have to wait for our physical deaths to know resurrection; rather, we are invited to new life in the here and now.

(ABP) -- Zeb Mountain, Turner Spur, Peters Knob, Big Fork Ridge, Millard, Cow Knob, Cherry Pond, Payne Knob -- those are but a few names of the over 500 mountains from Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia that have disappeared from the face of the earth, never to return. Psalm 121 in the KJV begins, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills.” Not any more, at least in certain segments of Appalachia.

(ABP) -- Any time the word “inerrancy” is mentioned with regard to the interpretation of Scripture, the subject of a “woman’s place” is never far behind. Whenever women challenge the status quo, it takes only a moment for husbands and church leaders threatened by loss of control to begin intoning “my Bible clearly says” in an attempt to weight their argument.

(ABP) -- I am currently finishing a book on the sacredness of life -- the idea that each and every human life is of equal and immeasurable worth in the sight of God. Tracing the history associated with this idea involves the grim work of studying some of civilization’s worst rejections and negations of the sanctity of life, namely Nazism and Communism.
