- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

Chicago Hope Academy
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, April 21, 2008
Last night’s final episode of Oprah’s Big Give featured Chicago Hope Academy, a Christian high school on Chicago’s West Side, founded by Bob and Tina Muzikowski.

Jordin!
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Tonight I broke down and did something I haven’t done in six years of watching American Idol. I picked up the phone and voted for Jordin Sparks. I hope she wins. After tonight’s performance, she certainly deserves it.
Shirley Banta RIP

I received word from a friend that Shirley Banta died late Saturday night. A year after Shirley’s husband, a Southern Baptist preacher, died in 1968, she moved to Oak Park to become church secretary at Calvary Memorial Church under the leadership of Pastor Bob Gray. Shirley served through the remainder of Pastor Gray& ...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, July 9, 2003
11:53 PM Earlier this evening Marlene and I went to Cucina Paradiso, a very fine Italian restaurant at 814 North Blvd. in Oak Park. It’s a friendly, bright and airy restaurant, and although this was our first visit, I’m sure it won’t be the last. Recommended: the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer, the bread pudding (a massive …
