Mutterings

A note about the following: this was inspired by the work of Kim Fabricius, the content is meant to make the reader think, the crassness and cynicism of it is for effect, and probably heavily influenced by the long day I spent battling mosquitoes and cattle while thinking about this stuff.

Defining what God can and can’t do and what he does indeed do are two completely different things. Using the retort, “Are you saying God can’t do that?” is always irrelevant.

Worship is not singing the newest Matt Maher song as passionately as you can and getting a happy feeling inside in return.

God is more than a feeling.

Happiness and joy have never been the same thing, why in the world would something as overwhelming as the Joy of the Lord have anything to do with putting a smile on?

The Catholic Church may need a bit of work, but Protestants, you’ve gone way too far.

The very gates of hell will not be able to prevail against the Church of Christ, never for a moment think that the Church is obsolete, this is only the beginning.

Every day millions of children die in a pile of shit, and you are more upset that I just used a swear word.

Even if God appeared to us and made it obvious that he is in total control and free will was obsolete, we would still look for a way to do our own thing, that’s the nature of sin.

The mystery of marriage is children, if we eliminate that aspect; nobody has grounds to reject gay marriage.

Falling in love with God is never enough, how many men have fallen in love with a woman yet continue to look at others, in that context it’s called adultery, in the context of God, it is idolatry.

If fear demonstrates a breakdown of faith, how are we ever to fear the Lord Our God?

It may be the work of loving hands that builds a beautiful cathedral, but a greater beauty is found in the feeding of the hungry.

Pessimism and optimism are both false, the truth lies in contentment.

Amen means "Let it be so" think about that before using it, ponder whether or not you really want whatever you are Amening to to happen.

God created the greatest piece of art for free and said, "It is good". Man charges thousands of dollars for a blank canvas and claims to be better than God.

Doubt is the consort of Faith.

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Matthew 5:11-12) The Truth is alway greeted by a raucous chorus of denial and slander.

Only when you realize the extent of your debauchery can you truly be filled with grace, a "righteous" man is graceless.
