Election: A Mystery Revealed
"If you take the Bible as God's Word, you must expect that Bible to have in it some things that are dark to you. Mystery is dark and God is mysterious. 'Lo, these are parts of His ways, but how little a portion is heard of Him.' (Job 26:14) 'How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!' (Romans 11:33) 'Great is the mystery of godliness.' (I Timothy 3:16)
If the Bible is the Word of God it will tell us things that are strange to us, things that reason did not know and could not guess. What were the use of God's giving down from Heaven a revelation of things which we already know?
If the Bible is the Word of God, not only will it contain things strange, but contradictory to nature. 'For My thoughts are not your thoughts; neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.' (Isaiah 55:7,8,9.) 'The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God neither can he know them, but God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.' (I Corinthians 2: 10-14)"

The Lord Direct Your Hearts Into the Love of God (II Thessalonians 3:5a)
"All religion is in effect love. Faith is thankful acceptance, and thankfulness is an expression of love. Repentance is love mourning. Yearning for holiness is love seeking. Obedience is love pleasing. Self denial is the mortification of self love. Sobriety is the curtailing of carnal love."

A Long Time Braves Fan and the Passing of a Legend
Bear with me as I depart from the deeply spiritual to the deeply human...
Those who know me well know that I have been a Braves fan most of my life. Growing up within a couple of hours of Atlanta I have followed them very closely since 1966 when they first came to Atlanta from Milwaukee. As a child I listened to many a game at night in my bed with an earpiece to a transistor radio. The game would fade in and out (out at the most inopportune times). What happened after I fell asleep I would read about in the next day's paper (the daily Valley Times-News).
The voices of the Braves were very familiar to me. Ernie Johnson and Milo Hamilton are the two announcers I remember from the early years. After Milo left a newcomer, Skip Caray, came aboard and along with some other newcomers like Pete Van Wieren they made the game much more entertaining. TV took the place of radio but the voices were still important especially during those dry years when the Braves were perennial losers.
Happy days came and were with us for 15 titles. And, those voices, they just added to the delight! One of those voices will no longer be heard live. Skip Caray passed away recently. His eternal destiny I think about as a pastor. I cannot make the call as I am not privy to what transpired between he and his Maker before his last breath. I do know that Skip like all of us mortals have only one hope for right standing with God. The Lord has made it very plain that His Son paid the debt in full for His own through the shedding of His blood on the hill called Mount Calvary. He also makes it clear that one who believes on Him can not only have their sin debt paid in full but have the Son's righteousness placed to their account!
If you are a fan of the voices like Skip Caray's you will enjoy this tribute to him!

President George Washington's Prayer
At Slice of Laodicea there is a post of a handwritten prayer of George Washington. President Washington seemed to have a good grasp of his mortality, his depravity, the need for a Saviour and Christ Jesus being the only One.

Happiness In Doing
I think I am witnessing first hand today and in recent days the experience of a child of God who obeys. They have joy and peace.
Please see this blog entry in Symphony In Scripture about the joys of doing rather than just hearing.
