Your weekly guide to the Bible and prayer
Sunday, September 23, 2007


 Welcome

In the old Hee Haw TV show, a resident of the frontier town shows up at the clinic.

"Hey, Doc," he says, "I think I broke my arm in two places! What should I do?"

To which Doc Campbell replies, "Stay outta them places!"

This week is about applying Doc's homespun prescription of yesteryear to the hazards, both blatant and subtle, that we're up against today.

Until next week,
Harry Genet

And president and CEO of The Navigators. During his stint at Nav headquarters in Colorado Springs in 1990, his grown son was brutally murdered. Several of Jerry's books deal with how he and his wife, Mary, re-examined what they believed about God's sovereignty and love.

Hey Dad,

I love being a dad. I'm not talking about loving everything that comes with fathering at this moment, but more the love of being part of the group of human beings who call themselves DADS.

Temptation to look outside your relationship can sneak up on you—even in the best marriages.
