  • The Million Dollar Question

    WHAT IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION?

    It is: will you go to heaven when you die? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks on a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart". Will you be guilty on Judgement Day? If you have done these things, the Bible sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell.

    God is not willing that any perish. He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for sinners. We broke God's Law, but Jesus paid our fine. That means God can legally dismiss our case. He can commute our death sentence: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

    Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please repent (turn from sin) today and God will grant everlasting life to all who trust in Jesus. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.

  • Some Thoughts...

    I am beginning this little experiment at 11.07am PST, hoping to make my time at work a little more interesting.  So, in the course of working on my latest project, I'll just type here random thoughts that pop into my head, alright.

    • 11.14 I was thinking of all sorts of things... now I probably won't think of anything, because I'm on-the-spot so-to-speak.
    • 11.16 '...why'd you have to wait? you found me. you found me. just a little late. you found me.'
    • 11.30 I'm censoring my thoughts, because they're dumb. haha. (I know. I know. defeats the purpose of the experiment, but tough.)
    • 11.32 How many people have to die before a killing is considered genocide? (researching genocides for essays I have to write)
    • 11.32 Do you know that Stalin was responsible for the deaths of 7 million people just in the Ukraine from a forced starvation? Hitler was responsible for an estimated 6 million total. Who was worse? Can you even compare one mass murderer to another?
    • 11.35 Is Stalin worse than Hitler? Hitler worse than Charles Manson? Charles Manson worse than OJ Simpson? OJ Simpson worse than me (who has never murdered but hated in her heart... which Christ tells us is murder)? ... according to human standards, maybe yes... but by God's standards...
    • 11.36 It is like a concept I learned in school. Light travels from the stars and reaches our eyes because the light travels in near parallel paths (there is no apparent difference in path), because our distance from the star is so great. Our separation from the goodness of God is so great (the entire human race) that not one of us is better in His eyes for having 'sinned less' than anyone else...
    • 11.43 Who is more responsible for mass murder? The politician behind the policy that brings it about (intentionally? unintentionally?) or the person doing the killing?
    • 12.02 Lunch time
    • 12.26 Lunch was good, but the orange is too cold to peel. Waiting til it thaws out.
    • 12.56 Most recent bad idea: Playing FarmVille on Facebook...
    • 1.01 Jobs on computers with internet access are not a very good fit for me. *sigh*

  • "the LORD sent Nathan to David"

    I don't want people to ever be afraid of telling me that I'm wrong.  I don't want you to feel you need to save my feelings and be oh-so-tactful lest you hurt me.  No!  Why shouldn't I desire to be told when I am mistaken?  Especially if I really am?  It is most beneficial to me to be humbled; it is no benefit to have my feelings spared at the cost of my eternal soul!

    -----***-----

    Remember the story in 2 Samuel 12 about how the prophet Nathan rebuked King David for provoking God by sleeping with Bathsheba and killing her husband?  Remember that story?  Nathan helped bring David back into God's will and his keeping by making him completely aware of his sin, and David went on to repent and turn away from his sin and turn back towards God.

    Well... the LORD sent Nathan to David... how can I be sure that He hasn't also sent you to me?

  • "and David danced"

    When I try to worship God, I feel stifled.

    I feel limited in my attempts to give Him the glory, honor, and praise so rightly due Him.

    What exactly do I mean?

    I mean, that when I feel the Spirit leading me...

    ...to go and pray with someone

    ...to stand before the Lord and lift up my hands to Him

    ...to cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy

    ...to get on my hands and knees and fall before Him in reverence and fear

    ...to cleave to Him as one cleaves to a buoy to save one from drowning

    ...to declare to the world that He is the Sovereign Lord and God of all above, below, and of the earth

    well... I just don't...

    And I'd like to know why? Why, especially when in America, we're supposed to have so much more freedom to do just that... why do I feel so limited in my pursuit of God?

    Is it me?

    I wouldn't doubt it if it were, but I see it in others, too... and perhaps this is where my fault lies... that I pay too much mind to myself and those around me... and far too little mind... body, heart, and soul... to God.

    Oh, dear God, let me be as David, who danced with abandon before the ark of your covenant! So that I might be free to give You glory, Lord! Amen!
