The Bunny-Gospel?
Monday, March 24th, 2008
My good friend Micah has hit upon a very important and scary point today. The importance of not losing the gospel, and the scary fact that we have begun some sort of a comfortable syncritism between the gospel and the bunny… I encourage you to take a look, it was a good read for me…

New Sins…?
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
Did you know that we have new sins? Apparently, we really haven’t thought of everything…
Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, has announced the NEW, so called, “7 deadly sins” and had this to say about them…
He said that priests must take account of “new sins which have appeared on the horizon of humanity as a corollary of the unstoppable process of globalisation”. Whereas sin in the past was thought of as being an individual matter, it now had “social resonance”.
“You offend God not only by stealing, blaspheming or coveting your neighbor’s wife, but also by ruining the environment, carrying out morally debatable scientific experiments, or allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos,” he said.
I guess they’re on the same page with the Southern Baptist Environment & Climate Initiative…I probably should turn off my computer… 
But, seriously have we really figured out a new way to sin?
Is God not convicting us in the same manner that He did in the beginning?
I mean, he gave us the Ten Commandments as a guide. Is that not enough anymore? And, what about His Spirit? Where is He in our lives? Shouldn’t we be entrusting our personal convictions to Him and the Word?
Apparently our sins have gone from a personal matter to “now” a social matter…
Any thoughts?
Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins…ALL of them…the OLD ones and the NEW ones…

Truth?

What is Truth?
Caesar asked this question to Jesus before he had Him crucified.
I’m one of those people that get caught up on a simple phrase and try to examine it and pick it apart until I think I understand it. Maybe a little simple minded… regardless I have had this question on my mind all day.
What is Truth? HMMMMM
Do we really know?
The American Heritage Dictionary defines it like this…
truth
1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
2. A statement proven to be or accepted as true.1. Reality; actuality.
2. often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.
Think about this for a minute…
As I was reading this, the first definition is what stuck out most to me.
Conformity to fact…
Conformity? Doesn’t that mean that when we find truth that we are to become like it? And so, if we don’t act like it, does that mean that we don’t know the truth? This is scary to me. We speak of this truth and even believe it to be fact we even teach it to others, but are we conforming to the fact of this truth?
Any thoughts?
Quote…

I ran across this quote today and it really made me think…I thought i would share it.
Often we miss the undeniable work of God because we give up too soon.
I think sometimes we pray for His will or direction in something that we believe is right, and when it is not handed to us immediately we just assume that it is not His will. It sometimes is hard to remember that we are in His Will and NOT Him in ours. Therefore, it is in God’s timing and not ours…
