  • Across The Fence: The Pawnee and human sacrifice

    M. Timothy Nolting|Sep 19, 2014

    A great deal of literature and significant archaeological findings have been published that indicate the occurrence of human sacrifice among the religious practices of early South American tribes, most notably the Aztec. Less well known is the ritual of human sacrifice of the North American Plains Indians, the Skidi Pawnee, in the region of what is today Nebraska and Kansas. Some suggest that the practice among the Pawnee was adapted from the Aztec culture and others believe that the Pawnee...

  • Fear

    Curtiss Davis, First Christian Church - Disciples of Christ|Sep 19, 2014

    Fear is one of the greatest obstacles we have to overcome. Everyone deals with it in a different way. Some panic and run around in circles, accomplishing nothing.

The enemy uses fear to knock Christians out of the spiritual battle that we are in. Where did fear come from? In Genesis, after they had sinned and made coverings for themselves, Adam and Eve, “heard the sound of the Lord God walking i...

    Will Korn|Sep 19, 2014

    With a wild home crowd behind it, Alliance was just a little too much for the Sidney High varsity volleyball team on Thursday night. The Lady Raiders were swept by scores of 25-17, 27-25, 25-17. Playing in a warm gym, Sidney hung tough in the first set with the Bulldogs. Sidney took a 5-3 lead to start the set, but Alliance was able to build a few short runs. The Lady Raiders found enough responses with early blocking to keep things close. But several Sidney mistakes allowed Alliance to build and ride momentum in its home gym on the way to a...
