QUOTE OF THE WEEK--July 19, 2010.

Here's a great quote from a fellow named Boyd Miller. His little gem of wisdom is just about worth memorizing.

Here’s how this religious cruise stuff works. Sheeple A books a $1000 cruise with Mega-celebrity preacher. Sheeple A expenses the cruise as a donation to Mega-celebrity's ministry. Mega-celebrity bundles his attendees and gets a deal from cruise company for $500 per. Jesus has nothing to do with it.--Boyd Miller.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK--December 3, 2008

Biblical faith isn't a parlor trick, a Rod Serling skit, or the result of repeating verses of "Just As I Am". It's based on the objective truth of a God Who acts in space-time. And those acts are attested by witnesses. That's why we believe the Bible.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK--June 25, 2008

This is quote is both long and from a blatant pagan who said little that was good. However, it demonstrates the truth about one of the greatest evils of history.
Here it is:

I was in my mother's belly as she sat in the waiting room of the abortionist's office. Dr. Sunshine was his code name. I was fifty feet from the drainpipe, and she saw a painting on the wall that reminded her of her mother, who had recently died. She took that as a sign to have the baby. That's what I call luck.

George Carlin in Esquire

QUOTE OF THE WEEK--April 26, 2008

The following is not a quote from a Christian. But it is applicable to Christians:

Knowing is not enough. We must apply.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

ALL I KNOW--lyrics by Randy Stonehill--from the album Edge of the World.

Just like Adam we awake at dawn,
Our lungs alive with Eden's perfect breeze,
Enchanted by the journey we are on,
Until gravity has dropped us to our knees.
And all the shining dreams we treasure never leave us satisfied,
But the heartache we embrace might be mercy in disguise
To turn our gaze to heaven until sorrow is a purifying snow.
That's all I know...all I know.

Yes, and time seems to be moving through me now
Like I'm transluscent, fading away.
I long to hold this miracle somehow,
Drinking all the wonder of these days.
But like a little barefoot boy standing on the beach,
Every new wave comes to steal the sand beneath my feet.
There's a sweet hidden wisdom only the angels bestow.
That's all I know.

Sometimes I cannot stand to hear myself pray.
It's as if my very words become a wall.
I want what I want and so I push the Truth away
And I do not have to listen when It calls.
And I curse my duality, this darkness that dwells in me
And marks me to the marrow as an orphan of the fall.
But in the middle my turbulence I see
It's amazing grace that grips me after all.
After all.

What can be said of this mystery we're in?
I have only one answer to give:
If Jesus didn't die to be the savior of my soul,
Truly I do not want to live.
Oh, for what would living be without a meaning and a hope?
Precious little more than just some cruel cosmic joke!
It's like being all dressed up and there was never even anywhere to go.
That's all I know.

Punch-drunk boxers wait for destiny to strike the fatal blow.
That's all I know.

I will be changed; I will be free; I will be healed; I will be Yours;
It must be so.
That's all I know...all I know.
That's all I know.
