More help needed
Kristi Sayles wrote an article about Bible misquotes (Oct. 20). I agree with the importance of checking the Scriptures. Beyond citing the fact that they exist, it would have been more helpful to find out how she researched the source of the misquotes. For example, two items that I am currently looking up are: 1. God speaks in a still, small voice. 2. All sin is equal in God’s sight. Besides manually looking up key words in a concordance, I wonder if she has other tools or suggestions to determine whether these are quotes or misquotes of the Scriptures. Any advice?

Suggestions requested
Like John Redekop’s (Personal Opinion, Feb. 2), my blood pressure shoots up at blatant anti-Christian behaviour. Unfortunately John Redekop does not suggest how to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately, too, the mockery often is invited when Adam is claimed to have cohabited the earth simultaneously with dinosaurs (Stockwell Day in an Alberta school during the last election campaign). That kind of stance seeks to honour one’s own commitment and one’s faith more than it honours God.

View balanced
In response to Stephen Kent’s letter (Jan. 19) re Jim Coggins’s view of the Harry Potter books, one needn’t touch the element to know it is hot. The Lord gives us discernment so that we do not have to subject ourselves to questionable activities or pursuits to find out that they go against His Word and His will. Coggins’s view was balanced and accurate. The Harry Potter books are of no value to Christian children, whose time can be spent on much better pursuits.
