By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons “Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed that his children would be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Believe..be Baptized, and be..Buzzed
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew When I was in my teens, the Hippie movement was a countercultural wave that emerged in response to the conservative norms of the time, societal materialism, and the Vietnam War. Hippies were known for their distinctive styles, including wide bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye shirts, peasant blouses, and ethnic dresses. Women […]
Let Your Moderation Be Known?
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “I suggest that all of us are generous – everyone. It’s just some are generous with things like criticism, gossip, bitterness, being judgmental, etc. Jesus taught where your heart is, there will your treasure also be.

Easter and the Real Jesus
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons We become what we worship. Maybe that’s why many live unhappy or unfruitful Christian lives, or even leave their faith behind. Because the Jesus they’ve embraced was an A.I. Christ, a religious counterfeit or caricature. Or their belief in Jesus was more make-believe. But the real Risen Redeemer still stands at […]
Pot and Kettle
By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons In Matthew chapter 7, verses 1 through 5, Jesus emphasized the necessity of self-reflection and humility before passing judgment on others. Contrary to what many think, Jesus was not prohibiting judging others. Without the ability to make moral judgments about people, there would be no way to discern between Joseph […]
The Lord is My Rock
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “The Lord alone is exalted in the believer’s heart, and all other things are cast down. He sees his God to be his Rock, his Fortress, his high Tower, and his Deliverer. In Him he finds all that he can possibly require or desire.” – Charles Spurgeon
