Tolerant??

Some things such as 'same sex marriage' is just stupid. We as Christians are NOT called to be tolerant of that kind of thing. Teaching evolution in schools? Nah, sorry no tolerance there either. If you disagree I suggest since you can't comment here, read this book and maybe you'll change your stubborn mind.

Sick World

It's a sick world we live in. I'm glad i'm in PA!

Books

Been reading a Jay E. Adams' book "Competent to Counsel". Some pretty ineteresting and enlightening things in the book so far [up to chapter 4]. Never heard of 'Nouthetic Counseling" before but it makes total sense.

Thanks to Pastor Clark, I now own my copy of the coveted.. no wait wrong word.. umm long desired Amplified Bible.. After just 1 hour, I love it already. He also recommened the NLT Study Bible. I'll have to pick it up sometime. I referenced my new Amplified Bible in my daily Bible study and actually posted in my God's Word blog. Take note that is prob the only time you'll see that link on this blog so if your interest is peaked................

ok ok, so i overdid it with the links.. so what? :)

Unsaved Physicians

If we as Christians believe that God is the center of our universe and has created all things and can repair all things. And we as Christians believe that God is supreme and reigns over any and every othe power in the universe. Then why when the average Christian is physically ill, has ailments, needs a counselor, etc. go to someone who does not even acknowledge the existence of our God let alone worship and put their dependance for successs in him??

"From the above text you may assume certain things about the writer. This is to set them straight. I do not condone doctors, medicine etc. in anyway. The post was to say, hey we believe in God, but we're putting our needs in the hands of an unsaved, ungodly man"

Pull the trigger?

I think that more people than we realize have been at the point of pulling the trigger. The one key thing that keeps people from doing that is the realization that every single thing that affects us [good or bad] passes through God first AND everything that happens is somehow going to be for the good of us. Everything, no exceptions. So the next time you wish something could be different... think again.
