4. Bible Verse
(RSV) John 3:17
For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.So many times we forget that we worship a God of love, mercy and compassion, who gives us hope in the midst of suffering and despair, and not a God of judgment and vengeance. Jesus is our best reminder of God's love for all Creation!
5. Faith and FoodNot many people relate food and faith; however, both are intimately linked. The article explores this relationship from the perspective of different faiths, like the Christian and Jewish. The food we eat affects our health, animals and the environment; and it is not surprising that many organizations, like the Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA), are growing rapidly. Steve Kaufman, a physician and chairman of the CVA, said "Christians who take their faith seriously see it impacting their entire life ... and that would include the food they eat."
