...since God has always demanded that His people love Him with their whole heart, mind, and soul, failure to "know" Him is in essence a failure to love Him, since how can one truly love what one does not know.

…A heart and mind searching for truth in a lying, fallen world.
Knowing and Being Known
As a Tree Falls…
One of the great fallacies of the non-believer is that they can put off their decision about God/Jesus/Salvation until the end. Even if the person is fortunate enough to have the time (no sudden death) to address the issue, it is VERY unlikely anything will change, since reversing direction goes against the weight of...

The Nature of Sloth
I was reading a review of Josef Pieper’s Faith, Hope, Love on Amazon when the commentor (Lawrence J. King) said something that struck a deep nerve and sent a shudder through my being (I am not joking). He said: I used to think of “slothful” as synonymous with “laziness” — but this book made me realize...
Is God Saying This to You?
A Sunday thought I would like to pass on – Is God saying this to you? I am the light in the center of your soul I am the joy seeking to make you whole I am the peace you heartfully seek I am the meaning of your coming week What are you?
What is Wrong with the Christian Church?
I had this insight this morning at church, which at first I thought was for my congregation alone, but as the day wore on, I believe it has a larger application. That is for you to judge. In the Old Testament reading this morning, taken from Leviticus 19, we were warned against a litany...
Lent 2010: Day 17S – Making Changes, Knowing What To Do
Several days ago I asked a question. “Where do you think all of the things I have been talking about during these Lenten meditations–God’s teachable moments, His inexorable call for repentance and redemption, our attempts to change course in some or all aspects of our lives, and knowing which of the many things we...
The Inevitable Corruption of Science
Some things are inevitable. History teaches us that everything created by mankind, whether physical, philosophical, sociological, or theological eventually falls apart, either through natural processes wearing on it, or outright corruption. Science is no different. It does not exist in a vacuum. Since its inception it has lived through the actions of the people...
Lent 2010: Day 17 – Where It All Begins: Step 3
We have been answering the questions of where and how we make the changes in our life to become, to be the person, God is calling us to be. We have already looked at Step 1: Offering ourselves as living sacrifices and Step 2: Do not be conformed to this world (see previous posts)....
Lent 2010: Day 16 – Where It All Begins: Step 2
Yesterday we began trying to answer the questions of where and how do we make the changes in our life to become, to be the person, God is calling us to be. We looked at Step 1: Offering ourselves as living sacrifices (see previous post). Today we examine the second of our three steps....
Lent 2010: Day 16 – Where It All Begins
Question: Where do you think all of the things I have been talking about during these Lenten meditations–God’s teachable moments, His inexorable call for repentance and redemption, our attempts to change course in some or all aspects of our lives, and knowing which of the many things we could address to address–are played out?...
Lent 2010: Day 15 – Then Comes the Testing
From “teachable moments” to the requisite testing, I have moved on from my initial experience examined yesterday to the logical and expected follow-on: the test. Isn’t that normal? You get taught, then you get tested. Why would God be different? He could be, but he’s not. It is after all, his choice. …so we...
Lent 2010: Day 14 – God’s Teachable Moments
As I settle in and integrate my experiences from this past weekend (Steven’s great teaching, insights from the other authors, my musings and reactions) I am in the midst (as I am writing this) of an unexpected revelation. I was thinking back over the other people who I have interacted with over the years...
