Re-writing history? It is not just something nations or political groups do.
People re-write their own history:
making some things blacker than they were,
making some things rosier than they were.

“To say ‘Oh I’m no saint’ is acceptable to human pride
but it is
unconscious blasphemy against God.”

CRUST TO DUST
Posted in Bible, Eternity, Free will, philosophy, poem, pride, time, uncategorized, worship, tagged Aboard a yacht, CRUST TO DUST, lad a-fork a burro’s back, passively dine on April 9, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Fearfully, wonderfully made is true,
For the lad a-fork a burro’s back,
Who slept last night on a coffee sack,
In some poor, distant, Andes, ranch shack
It’s true for the bluest blood of you,
Aboard a yacht, who passively dine
On caviar, lobster, and old wine,
Always thinking of “me” “my” and “mine.”
Social animals of highest crust,
And dregs of men, smeared with labor’s dust,
Are all alike, all made in fearful ways,
Which ought (everyday) us to amaze.

in every nation and
every family since the world began.”

Improve on preaching?
Posted in Bible, Jesus Christ, opposing wrong, pride, prophecy, uncategorized, worship, tagged by the foolishness of preaching, Hollywood wannabes, Improve on preaching?, it pleased God, to save on March 24, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Do not try to “improve” on preaching with lights, camera, drama.
If preaching is Holy Ghost anointed it CANNOT be improved.
“…it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save…” 1Co 1.21
The Blessed, Triune God-Head can do more in a few seconds
than all the “Hollywood wannabes” can do in a life-time.

HE’S THE SAME
Posted in Creator or Creation, Eternity, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, KJV, philosophy, pride, uncategorized, worship, tagged HE’S THE SAME on March 24, 2015| Leave a Comment »
You can try to glorify your own little name
“Prop it up” a minute (in your “moment” of fame),
Then turning, limp off life’s stage – increasingly lame.
But God’s name, anciently Past, Future, remains the same.

Personality vs. Carnality
Posted in Bible, eabits, holy living, Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, opposing wrong, philosophy, pride, uncategorized, tagged Personality vs. Carnality on March 20, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Personality can be separated from carnality by Christ.
They are not one & the same. The person you struggle the most to accept
could be tolerable (even loved) if/when he (& you) are filled with the Holy Ghost.

Wise ?

Much education with little wisdom produces pride.
Some wisdom with little education can also produce pride.

Oxymoron

Jesus was not popular with the church of His day –
“popular Christianity” is an oxymoron.
