Words, (others) come easy when you read alot. God, helping and damning, hum... I don't know, I always thought we were in the "damned" column, that is if it were not for Christ. Entertainment, is that like "Praise and Worship"? and what would "greater awe and deeper worship" be?

Your blog caught my eye because I posted an article on this beautiful hymn myself this morning. Not sure it's one I'd want to "belt." A meditative mood seems more to fit the case. However, I wish more people were familiar with the hymn than are. God bless. Greetings from Wordwise Hymns.

]]> Comment on Conflict, may it never be… by David Keen http://calebripple.com/blog/2011/09/conflict-may-it-never-be/comment-page-1/#comment-697 David Keen Wed, 14 Sep 2011 03:47:52 +0000 http://calebripple.com/blog/?p=957#comment-697 Thank you Courtney, I appreciate your insight. It is something I really do enjoy, stirring up, provoking, in love. People assume that conflict, inherently (Don't even need to say it...) means negative, harsh words and a bitter resentment afterwards. I simply think that is immaturity (Whether in or out of Christ), and an incorrect outlook on where we are in Christ. I believe what I believe, because I think it's right. It's logical fallacy to believe, that what I believe is wrong. No one does that. So I will defend my position, with logic based off of scripture/facts. And if my position has an obvious, or even subtle fallacy. A deviation from truth. I should drop it, gladly, recognizing that I made a mistake and thanking God for his Grace and discipline. That brought me back within the fold. I want to be right, in the truth. Not just right in my head. I don't want to be stiff-necked and resist the truth. Just so I can justify my wretched sin. Whether that be white little lies. Or adultery. If I am stiff-necked (I speak this to myself), I truly hope that my brothers and sisters in Christ will have grace and forgiveness. And that they, along with and originating in God, will discipline me quite thoroughly and soften my hardened heart. This is a call to myself, and others. Thank you again Courtney, hope you liked my response/essay. Thank you Courtney, I appreciate your insight. It is something I really do enjoy, stirring up, provoking, in love.

The word Conflict by definition is "competitive or opposing action of incompatibles." It is simply a difference that has been put on the table. It does not require anger or bitterness. If you know The Truth and you see someone who believes something that is "incompatible" with the truth, well, it is your duty to share that with them. #Giveroftwocents Have a nice day, Gentlemen! :) David, This reminds me of a conversation we had about your atheist co-workers and how it brings you great joy to enrich them in truth and stir up though-provoking conversations.

But, I am curious. Why would you use that quote in reference to Facebook? It is simply a way to communicate. Just like you and I are now. Whether in person, e-mail, letter, text, phone, ect... So why is FB specifically retarded? I don't see how Caleb's reasoning abilities are tainted and out of context... Could you elaborate? As for wanting to be right. Do you want to be wrong? Do you believe, that what you believe is wrong? Well of course not. That wouldn't make sense. So when I take a position, I believe it's right. If it's proven wrong, hopefully I have grace and say, "this is truth, I believe the truth." As for being Calvinist. I do not know the history of the man, Calvin. So maybe I should read a bit more into him. Newton found the truth of gravity. I'm not a Newtonist, because I believe in gravity. I'm just believing a truth. Calvin, found a truth. I am Jesus-ist. Not calvinist. Calvin, was a man. I am a man. You are a man. Caleb is a man. The old man, is still on this earth. Thank God, his grace is suffcient for our wretched sins. I mean no ill will, I simply wish to understand. Jim, I do not know you. But, I am curious.

No matter who "wins" you are still retarded. And I have not seen the debate, but by this blog your reasoning abilities seem to be a bit tainted and way out of context. When you are more concerned about being "right" than truth of course you are going to take things out of context... especially if you are a Calvinist (which it seems you are) who follows a man who was known as the Protestant pope and killed people at the stake who did not convert...no wonder your approach is so millitant and combative...you would make Calvin very proud.
