Powerful Words
Hear (or rather READ) my words: catch David’s words about the Word’s word about words over at Proverbial Thought. Good stuff.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:14, ESV
One day, Christ shall return. The Eternal Kingdom will reign on Earth, and all Creation shall give glory to God!
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
James 4:3, ESV
Too many teach God wanting our happiness and to give us good things to make us comfortable.
God desires His Word to be shared to save the lost, and He gives us what we ask for to achieve that goal.
Why do we think the way we do? Is there an answer?
Hmmmm …
Cast your burden on the Lord , and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22, ESV
God will help you believe and remain faithful.
Ultimately, He will bring you to His side, beside the immovable, immutable One.
Because of Christ.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Mark 11:24, ESV
The only condition here is “according to God’s will.” In Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are conforming to His likeness with access to His mind.
Believe in God, and pray for this world and your witness to it.
There is a danger in saying “because it was always done this way, so why change?” However, it is more valid when based on the idea of Occam’s Razor: (to paraphrase) the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.
The plainest, least convoluted way to understand the Scriptures is that God created the Earth several thousand years ago. Jumping through theological, philosophical, grammatical, and logical hoops to make scientific theory fit ultimately leads to the truth that many do in fact come to: One of them must be wrong.
Seeing as one keeps changing regularly (such as the age of the Universe recently being up for grabs again, by as much as 2 BILLION years on the lower end), maybe it is not the safest bet to follow.
Thanks to our Orange friend for compiling these thoughts.
