Still Ripples

Evil has been treated as this great incubus, a stain on the record of God used to call His very existence into question. The problem with this approach is when considered as the counterfeit that it is, nothing else has so effectively, for good or ill, opened a dialogue about Him. This isn't to say that God needed evil in order to become known. [ 58 more words. ]

Repentance is not a retreat or withdrawal. Such would suggest a loss, removal from the ideal direction to which you would still wish to strive. No, it is a return by revelation-a renewal from weakness unto strength. This is often misperceived, though, as such a movement requires one to assume a humble position.

Lord, You have both written on and speak to my inner being; how I long to write something that would speak to Yours. Though You have no need for men's words, You delight Yourself in those who keep Your commandments, offering them friendship and testifying to their obedience before the enemy and before the world. Pour out Your Spirit, oh Lord, upon Your scribe that I write outside of myself, for if I may pen what touches the heart of God, then surely the stone within men would shatter as their minds engage to the inscription by your finger.
