Simple is Better

What if they are wrong, they've lived good lives, eaten good food, had good times and been productive people with good friends; what's the problem with that?  But for you, if you believe them wrong, what are you going to do if they are right?  Consider carefully that you may not know everything that you believe that you do, and that some things may be outside your realm of knowledge.  Is that possible?  It is only the most arrogant of arrogant people who would dare claim they were all knowing, and the truly brilliant and truly intellectual, know that they don't now and never will know, all they need to.  After this short paragraph, and the video, there will be one more question, and that one is from the heart, here is, Plato's challenge... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsFYra7VzNk Someone once contended that on the basis of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and freedom of expression, if you were to yell "FIRE" at the top of your lungs in a full...

You May Not Know This

Sometimes you see things, sometimes things you have prayed about, things that matter to you, and you see them taking place, and you realize, don't you, that your prayers are being answered?  Is that a powerful moment of faith for you?  It should be, because few things in life are sure, be honest about it, how much do you feel is sure in your life?  Have you heard, "death and taxes," isn't that amazing- because the people who say it don't give it a second thought, do they?  When you hear it, you don't give it a second thought either, do you?  But get your heart ready because here is a shocking truth, you don't die. In Ezekiel God revealed so much truth, it is almost beyond our ability, or at least my piddling' ability to take it all in.   But somehow we have to consider chapter 20, verse 49; and just drink it in.
