New Orleans: TRIBES

This guy has some good points concerning the response to help in New Orleans and the very real difference between "tribes", i.e. people's values and the things they do. There IS a difference between doing the right thing and not doing it--or worse, doing the wrong thing. There's also a very interesting contrast between Guliani and the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana. (Beware the offensive language in his blog.)
Don't get me wrong--we need to think about what went wrong. But we don't need to waste our time pointing fingers.

Jaar van de Geest bij pinkstergemeenten

"Heilige Geest, kom met kracht!"??? Waar staat het in de Bijbel dat we op de komst van de Heilige Geest moeten wachten of verlangen? De belofte van de Geest in Ha. 1.8 is op de Pinksterdag vervuld. Waarom, en tot welk baat bidden we, of verlangen we, of maken we tot een jaarthema iets wat we niet terug kunnen vinden in Gods Woord?
