The Peculiar Idol of Personal Opinion

Thu, 09/03/2020 - 12:00am

It’s possible that never in the history of the world have human beings felt more entitled to their own feelings and opinions. Of course, opinions have always been thrown around during dinner table conversations, but never have so many people in this world felt that they have a platform, a megaphone, a soapbox to lecture from. Social media has filled in the gap between fool and expert, and it is filling the world with foolishness disguised as expertise. How clearly we see it in these days. Yet that doesn’t seem to stop us from creating a shiny, clanging idol of our own opinions.

Results happen over time, not overnight. Anytime we want to grow and become stronger or get better at something, more often than not it is not a walk in the park. We have to work for it.

THE REFUGE

Thu, 08/27/2020 - 12:00am

Blessed be the name of the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised. May the Holy Spirit allow us as Christians to seek to tread the great depths of God’s love which He displayed upon the cross. Though this is a mountain too high to climb or an ocean too deep to plumb, may our hearts be still before the Lord in silence. Let us meditate upon Jesus Christ, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood to demonstrate His perfect righteousness so that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. For it was an infinite love that loved us from the foundations of the world. Oh, that we could say with the Apostle, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how unfathomable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”
