CHURCH SIGNS I HAVE SEEN

From a church sign I saw in my home town: "When fleeing temptation, don't give in to the temptation to leave a forwarding address."

THIS POST HAS AGED WELL

This post from 12/2007 surfaced to my conscious memory the other day. Written when this blog was just a year old, #VladimirPutin 's war in #Ukraine has proved my point as to how to deal with the Russian leader. Obama didn't understand this when he negotiated arms treaties with him. He especially didn't understand this when he allowed Putin to invade Ukraine and then not supply the Ukrainians any leathal weapons to defend themselves. And of course, #PresidentBiden and the entire #BidenFamily have received much in profit from #HunterBiden 's business dealings. https://www.redemptivethoughts.com/2007/12/who-you-invite-to-dinner-speaks-volumes.html

THE AGE WE LIVE IN

We live in an age that demands we accept the notion that a man can have a baby, but scoffs at the idea that God Himself through the Holy Spirit can cause a young girl to give birth to God's own Son.

ART CRITICS

THE GOD WHO SEES US

A Jewish legend. One day, a skeptical man sets out to test the first-century sage Rabban Gamaliel II. Where, he asks Gamaliel, does your God reside? “I do not know,” Gamaliel replies. “Is this your wisdom,” the man scoffs, “the wisdom of the people who pray to God every day yet do not know where his place is?” Wouldn’t it make more sense, he goes on, “to bow down to the work of our own hands, since we can always see it?” “You see the work of your own hands,” an irate Gamaliel retorts, “but it cannot see you.” From a Commentary Magazine article by Sohran Ahmari entitled They Blinded Us With Science. Here is the link (for some reason, I can't provide the links in the usual way): https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/sohrab-ahmari/they-blinded-us-with-science/

JOHN ADAMS' ADVICE TO TWITTERERS, BLOGGERS, AND FACEBOOK USERS

John Adams, Founding Father, this nations first Vice-President (1789-1797) and second President (1797-1801), wrote the following to his useless excuse for a son in law. Of course, Adams never sent a tweet or updated a Facebook page, but what he wrote is still good advice for those who like to share their whole lives with a global audience: "Tell not of your prosperity, because it will make two men mad to one man glad; nor tell of your adversity, for it will make two men glad to one sad." From John Adams (vol. ii) by Page Smith
