We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

The Problem of Sin

This "meme" was shared by someone on Facebook and I saw it as being thought-provoking, so I'm sharing it here.

I just shared this quote at Stan’s blog (which had a similar theme today) and am struck at how well it goes with that meme:

“Give Satan an inch and he’ll become your ruler.” – Unknown

Hi Lorna,

After I published this I went about looking at the blogs I follow and there was Stan's about sin! Interesting coincidence, I'd say.

Now, Glenn, we both know (as per Stan) that “there are no coincidences for those who believe in a sovereign God”! :) That makes me think, of course, of your “how I met my wife” story, and I have wanted to ask you: Are you and Jill making any big plans for marking your 50th in August? Perhaps a big trip or other adventure? As you know, my husband and I are two years behind you, and I’m already thinking about how to celebrate it.
