[People] do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself but because it contradicts them.

The word "Comforter" as applied to the Holy Spirit needs to be translated by some vigorous term. Literally, it means "with strength." Jesus promised His followers that "The Strengthener" would be with them forever. This promise is no lullaby for the faint-hearted. It is a blood transfusion for courageous living.

Let it be

Character is not something one wears on their sleeve, shoulder or badge on their chest. It resides in the core of ones being and his displayed by actions and words.

If slaughter houses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

How you die out in me:

down to the last
worn-out
knot of breath
you're there, with a
splinter
of life.
