The New Gratitude without an Object
The new gratitude isn’t grateful to or for anyone, including God. It separates gratitude from an object. It is a psychological ploy, a game that subjects play in their minds. It’s looking into the mirror and saying, ala Stuart Smalley, “I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!” It is redefining […]
Implacable
The Apostle Paul ends the first chapter of Romans in 1:28-32 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, […]

The Real, Actual Reason Why the Capitulation on Almost Every (Maybe Every) Doctrinal, Practical, or Cultural Issue Today
Surpassed two million hits for this blog today. ****************** The sinful nature of humanity wants what it wants. It doesn’t want to be hindered from what it wants even on the best of days. It will do many things to get what it wants. I see it in scripture and I’ve watched it. Everyone is […]
