“As Christian people, we all believe that our highest loyalty belongs to God and that there belongs to everyone the inalienable dignity of a child of God. In this we all believe. The time has now come for us to stand up and say so when we drink cups of coffee or when we talk upon the street corners, to say so when we hear our friends and neighbors say things upon which we know the blessings of Christ cannot rest.”
John H. Leith, “When Silence Is Treason,” preached October 1957, in Pilgrimage of a Presbyterian: Collected Shorter Writings. Lousiville, KY: Geneva Press, 2001, page 52-53.
I am a husband, father, and grandfather. A small, town about fifteen miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things in my woodshop. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I go fishing in the local streams and lakes when I can. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
