Pride
Recently, a friend of mine posted a small treatise on pride. He rightly opined “Pride is one of those “seemingly” innocent, but UGLY sins. It always promotes “self”. Some are even “proud” of their “humility.”
It got me to thinking how the enemy has hidden this one sin under a cloak of innocence. Pride really is the root of all sin. It is the rejection of God, and placing yourself on that throne.
One may say that pride is a little sin… but reread how Satan tempted Eve. Was it not with pride?
Actually pride can also be classified as the rejection of everything God is… think of every name of God and what it means and the action behind the name.
It is also THE sin of Satan as he declared he would be like the Most High (Isaiah 14:12-15) When God says there is none like Him, that is something we can trust!
Pride is THE LIE.

Brit Hume’s Firestorm with American Pastors
Usually television is a huge sewer pipe running into peoples’ homes. But, there is something terribly wrong when a pastor has a problem with truth being proclaimed on television
. Seriously… there are pastors who have a problem with Brit Hume and the statements he made on nationally televised news programs?
The bible tells us there will be scoffers (2 Peter 3:3) in the last days… and this “firestorm” has truly identified many of them. And as times marches to its climax, the bible also warns of increasing delusion. Even to the point that some of the very elect may be fooled, if possible. (Matthew 24:4-26, 2 Thessalonians 2:5-11)
I think it is refreshing to have this issue discussed on a channel other than the Laodicean TBN! It also helps us to identify those shepherds who may have been deceived. After all, like me, they are dust, and will make mistakes. Let us follow Jesus, and not others as they follow Jesus.
Jesus didn’t say preach it except when you are working or are a government employee. There were no exceptions.
In fact, let us pray for boldness in sharing our own faith! Ephesians 6:19-20

Radiometric Dating… is it infallible?
I was asked by an atheist about how I can question radiometric dating, the basis for dating the age of rocks in science. Evolutionists use this data as “proof” for the age of the earth. Radiometric dating is a measurement based on radioactive decay of certain elements to validate the age of artifacts and rock layers. Some will claim this is infallible, but is it?
It is a bit odd, for the evolutionist who rejects Christianity because of its “assumptions.” However, the premise that we can know the rate of radioactive decay may be essentially based on assumption. The assumption that the speed of light is a constant, meaning it is the same today as it was 1,000 years ago, 5,000 years ago, or even (allegedly) 1,000,000 years ago. Radioactive dating alone would seemingly put any creationist out of business… but to put it in perspective, there are outs! Continue reading »
