That girl, in that Vietnam War photo, Kim Phuc, healed for eternity.

1/11/2016

Not many inhabitants of planet Earth have not seen the famous photo, taken on 8 June 1972, of Kim Phuc fleeing the Napalm attacks in Vietnam. Few pictures show the horrors of war as brutally as the iconic photo by the Vietnamese photographer Nick Út.

Kim's story does not stop there however. Years later, having fled Vietnam for the USA, Kim accepted Jesus as her Saviour and committed her life to Him. Kim recounts, "It was the fire of the bomb that burned my body, and it was the skill of the doctor that mended my skin, but it took the power of God to heal my heart."
"How Now Shall we Live", Charles Colson, pg 483.

While much of what is written in this Blog may currently appear to be counter-cultural, given our post-truth culture, it is in no way counter-human beings. I am always for people no matter what they think, do, or may have done in their past. Where I put forward ideas or debate against certain ideology, behaviour, ideas, movements, politics, I remain very much on the side of the human beings even though I may be opposed to their worldview, behaviour and politics. Such opposition is generally out of concern for the ultimate consequences of such behaviour or ideas, especially for children.
