"Refraining from violence, then, is not a sign of weakness in one’s faith; it is absolutely the opposite, a sign that one’s faith is unshakable."

— Hillary Clinton

This was said in response to the assaults on U.S. Embassy’s in Islamic-majority nations. These assaults are a response to a bigoted film that was posted online, sparking outcry and insulting many of the Islamic faith.

"Sin is a fundamental relationship- it is not wrong doing, but wrong being - it is a deliberate and determined independence from God. The Christian faith bases everything on the extreme, self-confident nature of sin. Other religions deal with sins - the Bible alone deals with sin… We have ignored this in our presentation of the gospel that the message of the gospel has lost its sting and its explosive power."

— Oswald Chambers (My Utmost for His Highest, The Nature of Reconciliation)

"It is not the number of books you read, nor the variety of sermons you hear, nor the amount of religious conversation in which you mix, but it is the frequency and earnestness with which you meditate on these things till the truth in them becomes your own and part of your being, that ensures your growth."

— Frederick W. Robertson

Get Over Yourselves....

A good friend of mine pointed out this article for me.

For the past couple of days this video has been popping up on my newsfeed on Facebook with so many people saying “Amen” and “This is Straight-Up Gospel”… I’d like to point out to all these people that not only are you wrong, but you’ve obviously forgot what the Gospel tells us and calls us to. 

This article gives a brief but good explanation why this video makes my blood boil…
