true story

I work in a school system and what happened recently should be a wake up call. I mention it not so anyone can feel superior by degrading someone else but to give you insight as to how things are really like in America: In a recent science class in a local high school the Teacher was recording the temperatures of 2 types of water to see which water was denser. After a couple of minutes she called one of girls in the class to read the thermometer. The girl responded by saying that she knew nothing about reading a thermometer. (I guess she wouldn't do well reading a speedometer in a car either?). Such unwillingness to learn is incredible to say the least!

quandry

I have wanted to write this for awhile. However it is not easy; not because the subject is unpleasant, but because it is supernatural. You see the problem is when you are finite being and you want to talk about your relationship with God ,who is infinite, then you have limitations. You have limitations of understanding as to what God is like. I was even thinking of starting this blog by quoting from a old hymn: "He lives; He lives! He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way.".

Those 2 lines right there say something very important about God- they He is personal and wants a relationship with His creation. He is not a prude or a cosmic kill-joy. You see this blog was and is suppose to convey the idea that knowing the God of the Bible is a joy! By the way, joy means a constant delight in it's object. This joy cannot be obtained via soaking prayer, centering prayer, or other mystical practices. All the mystical practices will do is empty your mind and open you up to demon influence. (By the way, mystical practices can subject you to the Kuhndilini effect of hot flashes, convulsions,"electric flashes", and other aberrant behaviors and effects.).

You know I might continue this later, for the sake of quality. I did wnat to close with the idea of God is great, and you can know Him best through Jesus Christ as He is portrayed in the New Testament.
