..... how sweet it is.... to help those who did absolutely nothing to deserve their circumstances.....
(painfully accurate, sad to say...)
the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....
"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks
"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)
i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes
i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
Wow...how "wonderful" of them. Is this for real? God loves the gays, the muslims, the pro-choice people just as much as anyone else!
ReplyDeleteThese types of "christians" are the type that give the rest of us such a bad name! Thats just my opinion.
exactly my point.... they are out there.
ReplyDeletethe onion does a parody/comedy version of 'news'.... i just found this one to be so dead-on....
for example, even where most christians would never say out loud thoughts like 'homosexuals deserve aids', there are far too many (not all, don't shoot me) who actually have that perspective.... and it's sickening.
and this video stretches it to its ridiculous outcome... but is not so far off after all. :(
Love your "on the same side as me enemies?" RIGHT..... Not.
