Screen Door on a Submarine 2008-07-15 07:32:45 Do you ever wake up and think what is the point. I don’t mean what is the point of my job. If you are like one visitor we had, he knows that the point is to get up in the morning, go to work, and feed his family. This is right, and [...]

THE AMOEBA AND COL 3:22 - 23 (BBE) 2008-07-12 06:43:02 Col 3:22 -23 (BBE)

This will have to do for now 2008-08-01 20:39:31 Okay folks here’s the deal. I purchased the Custom CSS for Simply Ecclesia today.

How to know God, not just about God 2008-07-31 14:11:35 “Aquinas had the greatest influence on contemporary theological training. In 1879, his work was endorsed by a papal bull as an authentic expression of doctrine to be studied by all students of theology. Aquinas’s main thesis was that God is known through human reason. He ‘preferred the intellect to the heart as [...]

for Boom 2008-07-30 20:50:04 “For Jabe,
Is creation fact?”
My initial response was a double-post and was directed at Lucy, but you are correct. Anyone can respond. I think we all need to ensure that we all are on the same page when responding though.
Jabe responds to that question, with: “Have you ever actually studied evolution? or do you merely [...]
A run with Brother Lawrence 2008-07-30 06:29:37 I know that for the right practice of it [the presence of God], the heart must be empty of all other things; because God will possess the heart alone; and as He cannot possess it alone, without emptying it of all besides, so neither can He act there, and do in it what He pleases, [...]

Flowers for an Atheist 2008-07-28 21:02:44 “A Christian once asked an atheist, with whom he took a walk through the meadows, ‘Who made all these beautiful flowers?’ ’Forget it!’ was the answer. ’Do not come again with your stupid talk about God. The flowers exist by themselves.’ The Christian did not persist. After a few days, he was visited by the [...]

Wet Washcloth 2008-08-15 00:00:08 Last night Amanda (my wife) and I were talking…we do that sometimes. In the past we have had the chance to be around people that we really admire.

The tax collector who forgot how to count…? 2008-08-14 12:54:08 “Matthew purposely arranges the genealogy into 3 divisions of fourteen generations each.

The question is, ‘Why would Matthew want fourteen names in each list and why would he only list 13 names in the central section?’ [...]

from the statement of Revelation 7:9 that the company of the redeemed in heaven will be ‘a great multitude which no man could number.” I do not profess to know how this can be, since Christian
s have always seemed to be a rather small minority. But Scripture [...]

Piercing the Darkness of Depression 2008-08-13 15:25:17 About a year and a half ago, I was depressed, anxious, and felt distant from God much of the time. Even though I had been saved for many years, I didn’t really understand the depth of God’s love for me or that I could trust Him with everything I am.
At this time, I stumbled upon [...]

This Week’s Quote (4) 2008-09-08 13:17:37 “If there was one moment of revelation that awakened me to God and Judaism, it was the reading of Exodus 19:4—6. Realizing that I had a God-mandated responsibility to represent His character, love, and ethical will was the meaning I’d been searching for.
The Israelites were basically given an assignment. By their adherence to a unique [...]
