So That You May Believe: A Case For Conviction

Anthrophilus, how do I possibly begin to set in order all the things
concerning Jesus Christ so as to make you believe? I do not have
neither perfect knowledge or understanding. We find ourselves in equal
footing on that regard, both of us saying that we have an answer to
humanity’s problem but both of us can’t possibly be right. Your answer
may be humanity but mine is God.

Prayer Requests: Time Sensitive

Several prayer request, all important and time sensitive and
I haven?t been around enough to check the queue.

undergoing brain surgery tomorrow at 9:00 am

. Please pray for a complete healing and restoration. Please
pray for my family during this difficult time.?

We also have a prayer request from Jane about her housing
situation. Lastly we have a private prayer request from Catherine. Keep her and
her family in your thoughts as well.You can see the requests or add your own here.

Russ on Faith: An Addendum to Unconditional Election

I think our conversation stalled here and it was probably my thoughts on faith that may have done it. So let me elaborate and see whether this is something that can be considered or not.

Russ on Unconditional Election

WARNING: I?m sure some people felt that after my last post that I deceived them into reading far more than the typical 1,000 word entry into a blog. I did this by inserting them into the middle of a dialogue which removed both introduction and prefatory material. It was not my intent to deceive?and I ask for forgiveness. It is my promise this time that by reading the material after the statement that says IT DOESN’T MATTER AS LONG AS WE LOVE EACH OTHER that you will be reading far more than 1,000 words. Don?t actually read that statement because it is the punch line to a joke and you may actually be drawn in to the material below that really has absolutely nothing to do with the actual topic, is really nothing more than the crazy connection in my bowl-of-spaghetti-like mind of ?election? and ?electricity?, and thus exponentially increases the words you will read. So, just to be clear, read all the material after IT DOESN’T MATTER AS LONG AS WE LOVE EACH OTHER and you will be able to stick far closer to the 1,000 word maximum (though, it?s not really even close).

Link Confessions

Still tired but I will resume posting next week I?m sure. You can also
come back on Monday for Brother Russ? next installment in his TULIPS
series?a reading from a non-Calvinist perspective. His post on Total Depravity has probably
become the most commented article on the Archive. In the meantime, here
are some links from around the wwwURLd.
