In her death she speaks. . .

in the New York Times of all places! This week I plan to comment on this to my daughter. I want her to be aware of current events in which commendable people live and die. She needs to recognize the qualities of a woman who overcame as much as she did and was a bold as she was, a woman who made statements such as this:

“I am at once a physician, a citizen and a woman, and I am not willing to stand aside and allow this concept of expendable human lives to turn this great land of ours into just another exclusive reservation where only the perfect, the privileged and the planned have the right to live.”

How do we work for justice and not undermine evangelism?

You might want to follow this series of posts at the TGC blog answering the question “How do we work for justice and not undermine evangelism?” I love Carson’s response, particularly the first paragraph:

By doing evangelism. I know numerous groups that claim to be engaging in “holistic” ministry because they are helping the poor in Chicago or because they are digging wells in the Sahel, even though few if any of the workers have taken the time to explain to anyone who Jesus is and what he has done to reconcile us to God. Their ministry isn’t holistic; it’s halfistic, or quarteristic.

I must add my commentary: “Duh!”
