The source of sin

written by paul

And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)  And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.  For [...]

What would the consequences be?

written by paul

Have you ever thought to yourself what the consequences of your beliefs would be – if you REALLY lived them out?  I’m talking about what you claim to believe, not what you show you believe by your actions.  What would really happen if you lived out your truth claims to the fullest?

On Christians and the vote

written by paul

In this, an election year, it would do us all well as a nation to give thought to the quotes below.  We should seriously give consideration to the path which we have recently fallen into and whether such a path is for the greater good over time.  Huge amounts of debt acquired in order to [...]

People

written by paul

People.  We are weird creatures. Given the ability to choose, too often we choose unwisely.  Most seem to prefer to be told what to think rather than to reason through issues themselves.  Over the years I’ve participated in various internet forums and e-mail lists, acting as moderator on a few.  In that time it has [...]

Thoughts on Brit Hume and Tiger Woods

written by paul

Here are a couple of videos off of YouTube – the repository of all kinds of video stuff on the ‘net.  I’m no sports fan, but even so I could not ignore the the scandals the rocked Tiger Woods’ world.  It made the news clear down here.  What did not make it down here was [...]

Looking to stake the tent tighter

written by paul

I do believe that we are but pilgrims and strangers on this earth.  We are on a journey, hopefully along The WAY, and therefore our stay here is but temporary.  But part of that journey is learning to serve God by serving others and it behooves us to do the best we can where God [...]

In The Beginning

Setting Up Kings Without God’s Consent

written by paul

They set up kings without my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction. I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien. Hosea 8:4,12

As I was reading through Hosea recently, I came [...]

Observations Of Self While Preaching Through The Gospels

written by paul

Of all the sins that beset mankind, hubris is the hardest to self detect. It is one of the logs that blots out our vision and does not allow us to effectively restore site to those blinded by specks in their own eyes because of the way it pokes and jabs at the one we [...]

The Center Of God’s Grace

written by paul

“The Center Of God’s Grace” – thus reads the “location” description for my profile on an internet forum I infest. It was chosen because that is where I strive to live. Right smack dab in the middle of His will for my life. Unfortunately at times I stray for a bit, but [...]
