Mother Teresa?

Although Mother Teresa did many kind and gentle things for the dying it's unfortunate that it appears she never invited anyone to believe in Jesus Christ for the forgivingness of sins and salvation. She desired them to be the best of whatever they already were--Hindu or Buddhist--but it seems she never offered them the only name by which one may be saved (Acts 4:12). She 'ministered to Jesus' in the poor and dying but the Bible never says that Christ is present in anyone except those who believe (John 1:12). She loved and cared for her neighbor except in the one thing that mattered for eternity. As the world celebrates her saint hood this weekend may we remember that all who believe in Jesus Christ are saints--saints and priests--and may we in all humility lift up the name above all names in Jesus Christ as Lord.

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
