Take a bite of life, has it killed you yet?
Little apple, simple sin, has it billed you yet?
Has it filled you yet?
How much regret have you had to collect,
When life leads from the Christ that you've had to neglect.
I'm speaking out of respect, not for you, but for God-man elect.

What do you think

Before the creation of all things:

1) Was Jesus a man?
2) Did He have holes in His hands?


My thoughts...yes and yes

Why

Why do people often start prayers with,

Lord, I want to pray for...I just want to pray that...I pray....


Does God not know what we're doing? Are we trying to let others know what we're doing, and that it's intentional that we're speaking into the air?


Not a complaint, just a thought


EDIT: Nehemiah says, "I pray...." in Nehemiah 1:5-7

help

I need some prayer...I'm just feeling really angry and ticked off at people...and overwhelmed and tired....ready to kill, to worn out to cry....like I've been thrown into the whirlwind...

I feel extremely fragile, but not, because there's that sense of, just press on, this is how it always is...

Probably a spiritual attack that had some ground because of my anger which has probably been rooted in disappointment with certain Christians, myself included

I'm like the ultimate self-analyst....but it doesn't make me feel better, it just makes me cognizant of the fact that I could prevent a lot of this by being less proud....

Two "shorts"

Eyes perceive depths, like controlled texts,
Allowing me no rest, trying to unmask what I won't let,
Be made known, though I'm grown,
I still hide like Adam's seed in the garden sown.






I sit and watch from sidelines, sidelined, biding my time,
Before letting Your glory shine, I desire Your love as mine,
For, I desire the fire of Your glory to pour forth,
Hands lifted, weight shifting, the burdens of life lifting,
As our hearts, minds, and eyes are lifting to Yours.

BE VIGILANT

Do not be fooled into believing that "sin is not really crouching at your door..."


because it is.

30 silver pieces

I just read an article about how Miss Michigan won Miss America, edging out Miss Indiana. To be honest, as a result of the following response given by Miss Indiana, I'm glad. She doesn't deserve to win with such a ridiculous position on the important role models in the lives of our youth. Here are the article lifts:

"Producers added a twist to the interview portion, as well. They asked people on the street to pose questions, and the results were edgier than usual. Contestents were asked about binge drinking, HIV and Britney Spears' pregnant younger sister, Jamie Lynn."

"No I don't think she should be fired," Miss Indiana Nicole Elizabeth Rash said. "They're still people, they're still human beings. We all deserve second chances."

Since when were role-models given "second-chances" as being role-models without as much as a single rebuke by the public OR PUBLICLY REPENTING OF THEIR SINFUL ACTION? Society has the responsibility to not allow junk like this to get a positive rap. She's sixteen and so no one gets mad, they all try to protect her feelings...what about the 20 million kids around the United States...who is thinking about protecting them from making the same irresponsible, sinful decision? No one. The network should be ashamed of itself. Sixteen year old girl has sex with unmarried adult. Girl gets pregnant. Still not married......yeah Nickelodeon....you have completely compromised your principles...because the girl's show made you good money....that's what we, in the world of reality (where right and wrong exist alongside justice), like to call selling out...

One last question...how much did you get? 10, 15, 30 pieces?
