Weekend review: Stories from TX 2 months after floods; Study on American views of sin; handwritten letters of encouragement

To read a quick recap of some of the latest news reports and other articles from The Baptist Paper this week, see below.

1. This week marked two months since massive flash floods in Kerr County, Texas, killed 119 people and left a swath of devastation. As people in the area continue to try to put their lives back together, Marc Ira Hooks — a correspondent for The Baptist Paper — is back on site sharing stories of hope.

2. A new national study from George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University indicates that American adults — including a large majority of self-identified Christians — harbor beliefs about sin that are culturally appealing, but inconsistent with Scripture.

3. As word continues to spread about her ministry, Allison Bond keeps sending encouraging handwritten letters to people she’s never met and probably never will.
