ONLY ONE WAY

A newspaper article by Lloyd Streeter

An unsaved man said to me recently, “Well, I think all religions are pretty much alike. All of them lead to Heaven if the followers are sincere.”

OUR FINAL AUTHORITY

(A newspaper column by Lloyd Streeter)

Why do you believe what you believe? In a sense, that is the most important question related to religion. Why do you believe what you believe and why do you do what you do in your religion? Throughout history theologians have had a term for this determining factor – [...]

OLD IS BEST

A newspaper article by Lloyd Streeter

There is a poem which contains the words “After all, old things are best.” No doubt, it is not always true. Some things about the “good old days” were not so good. I, for one, am all in favor of modern conveniences, modern transportation and modern health [...]

MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURE VERSE

(A newspaper article by Lloyd Streeter)

ABORTION CLICHÉS

(A newspaper article by Lloyd Streeter)
