    Christian Synergy

    3 months ago

    As implausible as it may seem, God created a place where He is not the only required cog in the machine. Our universe is a place in which he, though integral, is not the overruling puppet master. This world is not a place where his input annuls all others so that imperfections can be corrected at His whim.

    Blessed are they that mourn

    3 months ago

    So frequently the means chosen to avoid sorrow & regret are the very things that exacerbate a greater need for it in our lives. So that in our struggle to shake free of that need through worldly means, we find greater pain. A weightier burden, an increasing sense of desperation and a hopelessness that, ironically, can only be lifted via the very thing we're trying to avoid, the pathway of sorrow and regret -- mourning.

    Powerful Proofs

    2 months ago

    No one can deny that there are many in the world claiming to be proprietors of 'Gods Revealed Will' [The "experts"].

Like with advertising propoganda, how can we know which, if any, is true?

    What these great minds had in common

    John the Baptiser

    3 months ago

    “Assuredly I say to you, among those born of woman there has not arisen one greater…” The man was John the Baptist. To the Jews that heard Jesus, this would have surprised, for Jesus was saying that John was greater than Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, Daniel, David, Samuel, Joseph, Elisha… and every other man of faith throughout scripture and history.

    Pornography

    5 weeks ago

    Only a few years ago it was woman, albeit mostly feminists —at least, they were the loudest— all up in arms about the debasing of their gender via the porn industry. In a few short years their voice has been drowned out by the ‘modern woman’ demanding male porn. Did it become ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’?
