Just saw "The Great Debaters"
Seemed like a good movie...but my opinion fell as I discovered the truth - or lack of it - of the movies historicity....

Today I begin the Bible again. As I pray about from where to initiate the journey, might you have some suggestions? Some information to consider is that this is only the devotional side of my reading of Scripture. I will also have study reading inside and outside of class study in Scripture as well (1-devotional; 2-out of class study for self; 3-class study), though I do combine these at times when it seems prudent. I keep this reading fairly linear according to the Protestant canon. My past year's reading went like this (for area #1):
Genesis-Jeremiah
Matthew-Revelation
Lamentations-Malachi
Submission to God's Word is of prime importance

NOTIC3
When it comes to blogging....lately I've been lacking. It's not that I don't have a lot to share; rather, I have so much to share because so much has been happening, but this has made me tired. Thus, I'm often too tired to write it out after I've shared it vocally a few or several times.
I'm not sure if you already know this or not, but my blogging might cut out for periods of time this summer as I won't be near computers.
From June 6-13, July 5 - August 2, and August 15-22 I will be away from computers (as of what I know right now).
Keep on following the God through obedience to His Word.
God bless,

Time machine
Another tick clicks off, the needle pokes my eye,
Stabs me to remember that assignments don't die,
Again and again they rise, bribing me to fly,
If only I could beat the whispers heard inside.
I refuse to flee, I won't recede like the tide,
A battle of the will to conquer days gone by.
In progress, that's the anthem I sing,
Coming along quite beautifully,
In progress, procrastinate like a king,
Praying through the process of accomplishing.

owning the syntax
How can you look down upon the masses, for tryin to amass what your culture loves to lavish,
Your method's savage, takes the people's souls and then sufficiently ravages,
O the damages!
Empty comotosed individuals, walking through our villages,
As the epidemic ruthlessly is killing kids,
Gives its word to satisfy but renigs on all its promises,
They walk about bewildered, the whole bunch of novices,
Saving them? Why are we pointing fingers asking all, "Whose job is this?"

Sola Scriptura --> Authority of Scripture
Don't be deceived.
1 Cor 2:14-16
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.
2nd Cor. 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Truth is found in....
Experience? Feeling? Belief?
NO. It's found in the WORD of God.
If there were to be a survey taken regarding what we placed our faith in, would it be in theological doctrine, sermons, preachers.....or would it be in the Holy Scriptures?
If your pastor lost faith, would you?
If he questioned what your church believes, would you?
Do you already?
Do you believe what your church believes?
Would you side with the church if it started promoting something unBiblical?
Do you side with men over Scripture....or Scripture over man?
