Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener

Everyone would be in love with me.

~~~Can we all be "of one mind"????~~~ Apr 30, 2008 9:05 pm

Peter instructs us to be of one mind in 1 Peter 3 : 8. That's a monumental task! Just look at BC as an example...how often are all the believers here of one mind?

Peter followed that instruction with some hints on how to achieve that single-mindedness among believers...can you find them?

"Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing." 1 Peter 3 : 8 , 9

Okay, here are some hints on how to achieve unity, harmony and single-mindedness:

1. Have Compassion
2. Love One Another
3. Be Tenderhearted
4. Be Courteous
5. Be a Blessing

Can you see how following those instructions brings would build unity and harmony?

Apartment shopping in Louisville... Apr 28, 2008 7:28 pm

Spent the day today in Louisville looking for an apartment for my oldest son. He will be attending school there for two years beginning June 23. I have a headache!!! Three hour drive to the school to meet with the admissions counselor, then about four hours looking at apartments (they all look the same after awhile) and then three hours driving back home..after eating at Joe's Crab Shack (the highlight of the day).

Arrggghhh...I'm tired and did I say have a headache?

I'm going to bed.

Ok, so I'm not very creative... Apr 24, 2008 7:28 pm

I have just over a month left on my one year membership on BC so I decided to change the colors on my blog. I was tired of "BigChurch" fuchsia. So, what do you think? (Be nice, my creativity was stifled by the limitations of the BC color palette)

Also, I changed my blog title from "Daily Ramblings" to simply "Ramblings". Someone recently pointed out to me my ramblings are no longer daily, so I thought I would make the title more accurately correlate with the content.

Ok, that's my rambling for today...

WHY all the CONTENTION and my APOLOGY Apr 23, 2008 3:03 pm
635 Views
If I have offended anyone with any of my posts or comments on somebody else's post, I apologize.

I would be happy to apologize personally and privately if you email me and let me know how I have offended you.

Having said that, I do want to say that we live in a fallen world. There will never be a peaceful utopia until Christ returns and reigns on this earth.

There are daily discussions, debates and accusations about many differing belief systems here. Calvinism. Free-will. Security. Predestination. Word of Faith. Tongues. Catholicism. Anglican. Adventists. Need I go on?

Each person believes their's is the one that is right. The teachings are ingrained in us and to have these ideologies challenged quickly moves us out of our comfort zones. Thus, discussions on these matters become contentious and people get their feelings hurt.

The bottom line is simply - NO ONE "movement" has it 100% correct. These "systems" of belief are of man. Man is fallen. Man is imperfect.

Thankfully, we have a sovereign God Who is omnipotent, omnicious and omnipresent. He cannot be "put in a box" and explained. Isaiah said "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55 : 8 , 9)

When we get our arms around the FACT that God cannot be explained, but He CAN be experienced in a personal way, then we will have our eyes opened. Until then, we will be stuck in man made limitations on a limitless God.

Bottom-line: disagreements on belief systems will continue until we sit at the feet of the Teacher, Jesus Christ, in His Kingdom.

"That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2 : 7 - 9
