World’s Worst Cat

An animal shelter in North Carolina was having trouble placing a badly behaving cat. That is, until they posted the following description of the finicky feline: 

We thought Perdita was sick but turns out she’s just a jerk. She likes isolation, lurking in corners, jumping at people who pass her by, and staring into your soul until you feel as if you may never be cheerful again.

They immediately received 175 applications from people eager to adopt the so-called jerk cat!

Was Jesus Misinformed?

The idea of Jesus being misinformed is preposterous to a believer who is informed by the evidence of His historical ministry. His identity as the incarnation of God is attested by His own claims and His works recorded by eyewitnesses (see my book, Surprised by Faith, chapter 3). As God, His knowledge of all things—including science and history—is impeccable. 

How could He possibly be misinformed?

“Our greatest work is still ours every day—the work of prayer. Prayer knows no boundary, no quarantine, no confinement.” —SIM international director Joshua Bogunjoko in a letter to thousands of missionaries in thirty-eight countries who are isolated by COVID-19.

The Eyes Have It!

Charles Darwin, in his book The Origin of Species, acknowledged that he had some serious apprehension about proposing that the human eye arose by chance evolution. 

Neo-Pagan Religion

It is clear that many in the climate-change movement are not thinking from a Christian worldview. Religious fervor, perhaps, but God is mostly excluded from the discussion. As an illustration, Union Theological Seminary in New York City held a chapel service where students confessed and prayed to potted plants as part of a class offering “liturgical responses to the state of the climate.”
