He also notes that bad things happen when a country chooses to ignore the Bible’s wisdom. He writes, “[The US] was built by an ethic—a spirituality that taught citizens to work, earn, save, invest, and use their wealth to serve their neighbors. This biblical ethic has been replaced by secularism’s entitlement culture that teaches people that they have a right to this, that, and the other without corresponding obligations to work, save, and serve.”]]> http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/03/27/why-the-bible-matters/feed/ 13 http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/03/19/affected/ http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/03/19/affected/#comments Tue, 19 Mar 2013 04:01:00 +0000 tom felten http://www.ourdailyjourney.org//2013/03/19/affected/ ODJ author Jeff Olson, is a young woman I love as if she were my own. Recently, she completed an 8-month missions trip. During that time, I became concerned when she contracted malaria while serving in a rural part of Kenya.

The UK’s Telegraph reports that some people in Hong Kong have resorted to using parasitic worms to peel off the pounds. The worms allow people to keep eating what they want and still shed weight. But the giant intestinal roundworms, which can grow up to 15 inches in length, lay up to 200,000 eggs a day. They can also cause abdominal pain, flulike symptoms, and even death. Yep, this is one dangerous way to try and win the battle of the bulge!]]> http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/03/09/devoured/feed/ 2 http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/02/25/experiencing-community/ http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/2013/02/25/experiencing-community/#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:01:00 +0000 tom felten http://www.ourdailyjourney.org//2013/02/25/experiencing-community/ connecting with God, experiencing transformation, gaining new insights, and feeling cared for.
