Confession is good for the soul (relevance: 100%, date: Jun 3, 2026)
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
All of us have likely heard the saying, "Confession is good for the soul". It's an old Scottish proverb. However, most people that repeat it leave out one word. The proverb actually reads, "Open confession is good for the soul".
There is biblical truth to this saying as well. The Bible supports the conclusion that without open confession, salvation is not guaranteed.

Is God Dead? - The problem of evil (relevance: 60%, date: Jun 3, 2026)
Critics of theism and Christianity claim not only that God is dead but that He never truly existed in the first place. For if the God of Christianity truly exists, then why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? Atheists and Christians alike call this apparent conundrum; "The Problem of Evil." The logical problem of evil presents as a question: "If the God of Christianity is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnibenevolent (all-caring), then why is there evil in the world?" Did God create the evil that befalls man? If He, in fact, did not create evil, then where did it come from?

There are a few things involved in this: we're super busy and very important people; Raleigh traffic; and tickets in the nosebleed section were over $1,200 each when I checked. So, for all of those reasons, but mostly the last one.

We need more people like D.J. (relevance: 20%, date: Jun 3, 2026)
A young man visited me at the newspaper office the week following the Blooming Festival. He was extremely polite and complimented the chamber for organizing the festival. He continued to explain that while walking his dogs, he noticed small trash in the edges of yards from the parade where the town's street sweeper couldn't reach. Some areas also had candy stuck to the sidewalks. Rather than barking, he politely asked if the chamber would support him in a clean-up day effort. The word "absolutely" couldn't come out of my mouth fast enough!
