Shanktified!

Oh I gotta try this Sunday.   I’d like to see him put it on now.  Because it has to line up right at the bottom or it’s in vain.

Looks like I am stuck in the Microsoft swamp for a little while longer. Why? Because much my Comaq Presario hardware not open source friendly.  Note to self:  Check this list when ordering my next PC.

I thought this was nicely put:

Another destination that can be reached only by way of the river of grace is righteous obedience, which speaks of a life set apart.  Often we try to reach this port through the backwaters of self-will and determination, but we get bogged down and never make it.  Only the river of grace can carry us to obedience.  That river swells and lifts us above our self-focus.  When we are gripped with the truth that God has demonstrated His love for us through the appearing of Christ, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and swept into the safe harbor of obedience.  Thus we are motivated, as Titus 2:12 says, to “live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age.” - Clyde Cranford, “Because We Love Him”

It’s true. I know I can not be holy or archive any holiness of my own.  Yet, as I am carried along God’s “river of grace”, I start to think, or feel, like I am the one doing the swimming; when really, I’m just floating along.  Then I find I get prideful and I try to swim. I quickly screw it up and start to drown in my own weakness.

There’s nothing like focusing on living a holy life, to show you how weak you really are.

A thought from my quiet time this morning. I’m reading and enjoying “Because We Love Him” by (Clyde Cranford). In it a line, “In our society we see very little of this [suffering for Christ's sake] because Christians are so much like the world.”

Ouch.

He’s right. The church today - but more importantly >> I am < < much more like the world than I care to be.

Lord, set me apart, for your Glory.

Here’s mine:

‘Those who eat lots of family dinners are almost twice as likely to get A’s in school as their classmates who rarely eat as a family.’

This post was simply me reposting a quote from Albert Mohler. With that in mind, I’ll get off line and go tickle my children.

Taken from PBGs’ path, and all the others who participated along the way.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

Isn’t this why we are wrong too? When we error biblically or perhaps in life, it is because we don’t know the Scriptures nor the power of God.
