During financially challenging times, it’s so easy for us to forget who we’re putting our trust in. Are we trusting in Wall Street, or in the God who created it all?

TWOTP have a great selection of videos for your church, group or wherever. They’ve also put together a great selection of videos geared specifically for the current times we find ourselves in. The above video is a free download as part of that collection.

The Universal Declaration of Rights


The Universal Declaration of Human Rights from Seth Brau on Vimeo.

Thomas shared this on the nanolog. I love it! Excellent!

However I find myself asking more and more — what really are my rights? What can I really demand? Is it “fair” to say that each of these rights are God given rights? Or is it better to say that these are “man given rights?” I believe these are rights that we should fight for for others — but are we really being Christ-like when we demand these rights for ourselves? Can the two co-exist?

In America we have the American Declaration of Rights and we claim that all our rights come from God. But do they really? Does God really promise life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — or is that us just trying to claim the place as God’s chosen people?

I really do believe that as Followers of the Way I should fight (I use that word loosely) to ensure everyone has these rights — but just not sure that the “American Way” is “The Way.” If we viewed every day as a gift — and worried less about what I wanted or needed, perhaps we’d be better off.

What about you? Do you think Christians should demand these rights for themselves? Should we demand them for others? And can the two co-exist?
