Here's something to watch/ listen to. :)

Context of the Law 101 Lawlessness is endemic to the human heart. This same heart fools itself by assuming that more laws mean more order while at the same time (at least in christian circles) blows the trumpet of 'the law's been done away with'. Is it any wonder mass confusion exists?

to be in USA Under Surveillance Again?

Living in a State of Fear which of the fifty states was that?

We are called to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, not stubborn as asses and slow as sloths. How does that 'bumper sticker slogan' sit with most held theology and personal practice?

What is interesting to me but also alarming is the unending blather of 'born again' Why? Firstly, because for the one born again, there is no need to rattle on about it anymore than one who can breath oxygen rattles on about breathing. Secondly, the Spirit never witnesses to itself and neither...

Gossip destroys those who pedal it. There is a proverb, 'better to keep mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.' It behooves all of us to take note!

Keeping things contextual is helpful. In this context, the Palestinians have been subject to much oppression by Israel for many years against which they feel justified in defending themselves. Is it any wonder then that barbarity happens? One of the big injustices are Jewish settlements...

Cat hasn't come back Seems not, he went Muslim!

So you understand? In that case, this ditty is no doubt true, "a person persuaded against their will is of the same opinion still' Where then is the point of engagement?

The question is, do you know what I'm talking about?

Bending the Law to Get Trump Or is it, bent Trump gets the Law? We live in a system where Grace is subservient to Law. Law dominates the concept of peoples idea of Justice, ie break the law and you've got coming to you.....meaning, arbitrary payback will inflict its due if you get busted. When...

The phenomena of projection is independent of the person being projected on. For example, we (men) want justice which in real terms means revenge. When we read of God's justice we assume God means revenge. That is our projection onto God. God's justice is liberation which is quiet different to...

God gives life and breath to all. Why do we suppose he shows favouritism? Is it because we do? If God didn't like a particular people he could just withhold their ability to reproduce. God giving Israel the privilege of extra insight to share his reality with the nations around was missed by...

Speaking in tongues can also be understood as having the gift of sharing the Gospel succinctly. The Acts 2 account not only tells us it was other languages but also what it was they were sharing ie, 'the wonderful works of God' If it is not sharing the wonderful works of God in a way understood...

hello

Thank you for the affirmation Rj. I try to put what I am trying to say into as few words as possible.....and I must admit, even I need to re read my own posts slowly so that I don't miss the intent. They are not a 'quick fix'.....it requires applying brainpower. I prefer the shorter note...

If we view God independent of Jesus men will and do come up with all sorts of theories. Jesus is the clearest revelation of the nature of God. Jesus is also the exposer of Satan as the one who instigates calamity. We can deduct from this that all things good come down from the Father of lights...

you become what you focus on.

Is there a difference? I would say yes. One uses a broad brush to tar the unnamed behind their back, the other, a direct approach with the individual with whom there is a difference.
