TOGETHER: Be prepared for ‘Passion’ follow-up_22304
Posted: 2/19/04
TOGETHER:
Be prepared for 'Passion' follow-up“I love him more than I ever knew possible. … I connected to a place I could have never, ever gone. I don't want people to see me. All I want them to see is Jesus Christ.”
That's what James Caviezel, the actor who portrayed Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ,” recently told a Newsweek reporter.
Churches are buying tickets for this movie, and their members are taking friends to see it.

TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
Liberal un-Christian stanceMarv Knox just can't seem to get it. He continually takes every opportunity to malign the Southern Baptist Convention, as in his Jan. 12 editorial about the SBC's proposal to defund the Baptist World Alliance.
E-mail the editor at marvknox@baptiststandard.com He ignores the fact that many people take time to be informed about what the SBC does stand for, which are our basic Christian principles, in spite of the liberal thinking of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
Everything was fine with him back when the liberals were in control, but now he attempts to poison people's minds toward the SBC. This is such an un-Christian stance for him to take.
