when I am alone, and NOT in communion with our Lord, i am only being influenced by my flesh and my sinful desires. the necessity for companionship with like minded SINCERE believers is clear; iron sharpens iron.
If my desire is TRLUY to be transformed then I must develop a disciplined habit of daily fellowship with God and regular fellowship with the brothers and sisters around me.

why I vote democrat
author unknown
I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I vote Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I vote Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
I vote Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
I vote Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
I vote Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

The Coming Evangelical Collapse
An interesting article, and/or a call to return to and cling to "the basics" of following Jesus, The Christ?
"I believe that we are on the verge- within 10 years- of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity; a collapse that will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world and that will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment in the West. I believe this evangelical collapse will happen with astonishing statistical speed; that within two generations of where we are now evangelicalism will be a house deserted of half its current occupants, leaving in its wake nothing that can revitalize evangelicals to their former “glory.”"

each day is shorter than the last
A friend died yesterday in a sudden accident. I am reminded that death can come upon any of us at any time and we have a dire need to be ready. My friend did not wake up yesterday knowing that he would not see the end of the day, and we likely will not either when our day comes.
