  • I couldn’t help myself

    I couldn’t help myself

    I fell for you

    You set a trap

    I fell into

     

    I couldn’t chose

    Free will ordained

    You took my heart

    And broke my chains

     

    I couldn’t overcome

    Such as your grace

    Your love conquered me

    And broke my chains

     

    I can’t help myself

    Never let me go

    You are my love

  • Conspiracy material

    Some of the crazy political and social  stuff going on right now would make for a great spiritual thriller such as the fiction Piercing the Darkness.  I always appreciated this work for how Frank Perretti interweaves spiritual powers and otherwise seemingly unconnected human endeavors. You could say that while I am not a believer in most conspiracies I have always believed in one which is the constant corruption of the unified powers of darkness being held in check by the Spirit of God.

    This is why so many hate and fear the name of Jesus. They either try to change who Jesus is or eradicate any vestige of his influence from their lives. This they do because in their hearts they know they are in rebelion and rather than seeking the Judge who has made a way of escape they run from the one who condemns their actions while holding out a loving hand of piece.

  • I am covering Luther for this weeks assignment and it made me look at Romans again. Every time I see Romans 1 it reminds me of our culture and how far we have fallen. Such as being handed over to a reprobate mind now that is scary if you think about it.

    It seems that based on scripture one of the most dangerous curses you can fall under is that of a reprobate mind. That is why it seems as Christians we must put on daily the helmet of salvation. That is we must protect our thoughts and ask the Spirit of God to keep us as we are very vulnerable in this area.

  • When I feel your touch

    When I feel your touch

    When I sense you stir

     I am filled with wonder

    At the songs of the birds

     

    The desert sands wash

    Trees far away sway

    The moon reflects softly

    With the coming day

     

    Fresh cut grass exhibits

    The smell of life renewed

    But summing up this wonder

    Is simply the touch of you.

  • So it looks like the Republicans are standing firm for once and the President still gets what he wants. Yes we know sequester was his idea.  I will say one thing for the man he is a very talented community organizer.

  • Bowling

    Finally I got my score up again. No it’s nothing like expert it’s just about a hundred.  Even so for me this requires an extra practice to improve. My own program is typically once a week by myself bowling 4 games. The first is always pretty good with the second being a pit.  The other two are typically recovery with the last sometimes pulling into the lead.

    I started this season bowling about a 90 average and quickly went down to an 83 with several weeks too horrible to mention, at least my handicap helped the team. Now I am back and aiming to average 150-170. Then who knows, like they say, “Aim High”.

  • Mighty King

    Beautiful terrible -mighty king

    Your Redeemer sustainer

    Most holy ordainer-

    My mighty King

     

    You quench my thirst

    And remove sin’s curse

    You crush my rebellion

    My merciful king

     

    You’re the voice in my head

    My love and my dread

    My passion’s desire

    My holy King

     

    You’re the reason for living

    The purpose in giving

    The Spirit of power

    My might King

     

    You’re the voice in my head

    The attraction and dread

    The ultimate Lord

    My Mighty King

  • Roles- update on earlier post

    You know a whole bunch of people do not see Israel as God’s chosen nation. Others abhor the idea that God might have blessed the United States because it was a Godly nation. Still others refuse to see that traditional roles of men and women are different not for lack of equality but because we are created different. Sure there are exceptional individuals and there are many exceptions yet the there are also reasons there are stereotypical roles.  traditional ideals are traditional for a reason.

    This as I described it to a coworker in my view on women in ministry as pastors. I told her that based on scripture and the differences God has made this is generally not the ideal situation. I further stated that some outstanding leaders and teachers have been women. The upshot of it was that the main reason you have so many courageous ladies is because men have been weak and silenced from their God given duties.

  • Moments

    Moments are  precious;

    Do not let them pass.

    Seek to use them wisely;

    This hard but simple task.

     

    Now take each moment,

    Joy within your heart.

    God’s glittering gifts;

    The Lord doth impart.

     

    Each moment is a treasure

    For you to spend or waste

    Don’t let them slip through

    Or waste this incredible grace.

  • Common Pseudo Holiday

    Christians question the advisability of participating in certain celebrations from Halloween to Christmas itself. Pagans on the other hand try to take all faith out of holidays. As far at least as unofficial holidays it is always interesting to note that all churches, Baptist are particularly punctual, and many purely secular institutions set aside a time to celebrate the superbowl. This truly seems to be an American agreed upon pseudo holiday.
