Thank You
Nov 24 2008, 8:03 PM We are writing this letter in response to the article that appeared in the Nov. 12, 2008, issue of The Enumclaw Courier-Herald regarding Mayor Wise’s proposed plan to City Council for a public-private partnership that would result in a new two-story building downtown that would house a new senior center on the bottom floor.

As the community is well aware, the older adults of this community have long awaited a new center and we are so appreciative of this community’s continued support and sensitivity to our needs. This proposal demonstrates a willingness to look at innovative ways to join private funding with the funds from the sale of the Battersby property along with possibility of some retail space to rent.

No matter how wretched we’ve been, we have mercy through Jesus Christ
Nov 25 2008, 11:22 AM As a pastor and minister of the gospel I find myself frequently required to bring a message of absolute to a culture being increasingly steeped in teachings of relativity. Is anything black or white? Doesn’t it seem like there is a resistance to any teachings of right and wrong? There is this false idea that to stand for what is “right” is narrow-minded and to stand against what is “wrong” is hatred. But I like what my Grandpa always says, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll stoop for anything!”

The Apostle Paul wrote that there is coming a time when people will no longer endure sound teaching and they will turn away from the truth. He went on to say that they will seek out teachers who will speak what they want to hear according to their own lusts and desires. (IITim 4: 3-4) Pastors are being challenged like never before to deliver messages that won’t offend anyone and that are politically correct. I’ve found that the word of God is offensive and Jesus has never been politically correct! To tailor the word of God into a message palatable to everyone would be to strip it of its life-giving power. Since I don’t know how many chances I’ll get to write in this section, let me use this opportunity as if it were my last.

Do all paths lead to God? Are we all on a journey of self discovery that will eventually lead us to the same place no matter what or who we believe in? Oprah would say yes and promotes a new doctrine that teaches just that. But, according to Jesus, there is a way that leads to death and a way that leads to life. He goes on to say that many will travel the broad and wide way that leads to destruction and few will find the narrow way which leads to life (Mt. 7: 13-14). Later, when one disciple told Jesus that they did not know the way to the father, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me” (Jn. 14:6).
