For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty... that no flesh should glory in His presence.... —that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Evangelicals & Catholics Together? DAVY JONES (with THE MONKEES) a little bit me, a little bit you
This song is how I'm feeling right now about debates between Catholics and protestants. :) In the past on this blog I have had many conversations with Catholics and protestants and I learned over time that it isn't my 'job' or 'ministry' to call out Catholics, or any other believer, on their beliefs and practices. It finally occurred to me that I really don't know what is going on in other people's hearts, AND that I myself have beliefs and practices, or lack thereof, that are not correct. Also, at the same time I became more and more aware that the denominations I have been a member of also have some beliefs, traditions, and practices that are partly or completely in error. I believe now that the enemy, Satan, has been busy dividing God's people on countless fronts; keeping us busy arguing and accusing one another, when we should together be light and salt IN LOVE to the world around us. It breaks my heart that I contributed to this. God bless you.

Endtime Pilgrim: The Deliverer is Coming!
I really enjoy the perspective of Dr. Gavin Finley of endtimepilgrim.org. His article The Deliverer is Coming!, as with many of his writings, expresses the idea that God is a storyteller, and that He is playing out an epic tale over the ages, which will culminate in the return of the Deliverer to bring to fruition a long laid plan of redemption for His beloved Creation. I hope you enjoy Dr. Finley's article, and that you click the links at the bottom of the article to read his many other writings.
