hiatus

I'm going to be taking a break from posting for a while; if I feel I have anything worthwhile to write, I will ask Pastor Ivars to post it on his blog.

Keep searching for God -- until he finds you.

Those other people

If you must speak badly of someone, don't speak it, but write it - in the sand, at the water's edge, near the waves.

How is our vision?

If a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred -- like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope. That is why horrible nations have horrible religions: they have been looking at God through a dirty lens.

More thoughts about New Years' resolutions

The enemy often tries to make us attempt and start many projects so that we will be overwhelmed with too many tasks, and therefore achieve nothing and leave everything unfinished. Sometimes he even suggests the wish to undertake some excellent work that he foresees we will never accomplish. This is to distract us from the prosecution of some less excellent work that we would have easily completed. He does not care how many plans and beginnings we make, provided nothing is finished.
