Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Human Flourishing
Whether you believe man crawled up out of the primordial soup or was intelligently designed, the measure of a life or of a civilization is its flourishing. Human flourishing (Note 1) is directly proportional to human freedom. The greater the freedom, the greater...
Intolerant Tolerance
Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant; then it tries to silence good. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
Tolerance
Tolerance is the virtue of people who do not believe in anything. Of people who believe they are their own god. Adapted, G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
Obedience
Either bring me the prize lamb, or bring me nothing at all. Malachi 1:6-14 "It seemed like a good idea at the time" is the antithesis of "is this bringing honor and glory to God."
In His Presence
Joy is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God.
Life Is Short
Life is so short. Grudges are a waste of time. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should. Trust God with what you cannot change. Uncertain attribution.
Rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad, for all things are made new. We have, afresh, the choice between life and death. Let Heaven and Earth witness the choice you make. Oh that you would choose life.
Brownies
The correct term for gluten-free sugarless vegan brownies is compost.
Impressions
Let me leave the undeniable fragrance of God’s goodness and love upon every life that I touch today.
Residents Of Hell
Among the lost souls in hell there is not one that can say, "I went to Jesus, and He refused me." Uncertain attribution, possibly Charles Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
On Belief
In Hell, everyone is a Believer.
The Fruits Of Silence
One of the fruits of silence is the freedom to let God be our justifier. We don’t need to straighten everyone out. See also Does This Need To Be Said?
Veterans Day
On this eleventh day of the eleventh month take a moment of silence at the eleventh hour to remember the sacrifices of untold numbers of men and women in military service (Note 1). Note 1 - World War I ended at 11:00 AM on November 11, 1918 after the Armistice...
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul. It Is Well With My Soul, Horatio Spafford, Believer, lawyer, businessman, hymnist (1828 - 1888). Horatio...
Truth
Truth, by definition, is exclusive.
Real Faith
Real faith is not in a whisper. If you are known more for your political affiliation than for your identity in Jesus Christ, you are on the wrong track.
Walking By Faith
Some things have to be believed to be seen. Uncertain attribution, most likely Ralph Hodgson (1871 - 1962)
Now What?
Let us operate in the Fruit of The Spirit, letting our lives be controlled by the love of Christ. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23
