_I Am A Fool

Comparing myself to my generation, my age group, my cultural and social context, to those I grew up with over the years living a life of material complex, I realize that it would be to no surprise if a novel fool is what I would be oftenly categorized. Two years removed from College and Academics, left far behind from what my contemporaries have achieved. Shoes, and clothes, drinks, lights and smoke flows, I have nothing of that, but I have a God that's worth infinitely more than all that. I don't have fancy pictures of beaches and planes. I don't have stories of excitement, adventure and games. Celebrations and cakes, money and friends, though to ...

We make up words and thoughts in our own fancies. To tickle ears and appetites of our old nature. ---our nature, that wants to satisfy our lusts, things that pull us and want to justify when we cuss ---the Savior though in ways not verbally clear, not using bad words ...

_Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ!

Sin is evil, so why do you let it in you? You read the Bible but you still let your sins through? Perverted confessions of letting sin in and around your conscience. Unfaithful worship going back to and eating mud pie, like filthy pigs, or dogs returning to their vomit, we are new in Christ so why do you act like it?! We have been resurrected in Him, with Christ who conquered every bit of sin and death! He lived righteously so that you and me would have the victory, and paid fully, satisfied truly, and paid all of sin's debts! Justified by the righteousness of Christ, tempted in every way, by ...
