MASS MEDIA INFO AND MISINFO

Ed Stetzer, in writing a CHRISTIANITY TODAY article yesterday, August 29, 2017 entitled, ‘Some People hate Joel Osteen More Than They Love Truth,' cautions Christians against hating Joel Osteen so much that they misrepresent his Lakewood church decision not to use the immense facility in Houston to shelter people affected by the ongoing flooding. Apparently the church itself is in a flood zone. My purpose here is to reference Stetzer’s advice about handling real and fake news.

ISIS HAS NO FREEDOM

Credit for the image and content is to Jim Cunningham. It was presented to me as an illustration of how one can acquire and achieve freedom within personal relationships. In that context one's faith relationship with Jesus Christ opens possibilities for forgiveness and reconciliation and mutual respect with people who have been offensive or adversarial or uncaring. 

The visual also speaks to me about the differences between the terrorist group ISIS and followers of Christ.
