There is nothing better than the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and the power of His resurrection! How amazing it is that we who have faith in Jesus will live forever!
One thing I enjoy doing is laughing really hard and having fun. (Pretty general statement, but very true.)

| I took screen shots of polls from two different sources: First one is from AOL, second is from CNN. Interesting.

| 1.) Pontius Pilate asking the question "What is truth?" in front of Jesus is like me asking "What is a car?" when I'm standing facing my car. 2.) All people are always trying to justify themselves. | | |
| Today I was hanging out at Bryan and Genevieve's house with them and little Grace and sister Anna. We were getting ready to have some pasta for dinner, and I was making the garlic bread. I moved the rack in the oven to the topmost position in order to allow the broiler to toast the tops of the garlic breads, and began to place the breads into the oven. The broiler was already on, and as I placed the breads onto the rack, I felt the intense heat coming down off the glowing elements onto the back of my hand. I couldn't stand it for more than 3 seconds. Then I said, "I'm so grateful I'm not going to hell!" I've really been finding myself so happy lately ot think about the certainty of God's salvation. If He decides something, it will not be thwarted, and He has decided before time that I would be included in those who would be saved! And I am filled with the fear of Him because of that. | | |
| I was just watching a show on Discovery channel, and part of it was about this guy (I can't remember his name but he's some kind of inventor/genius) and he's trying to figure out a way to live forever. I just smiled real big and chuckled to myself and thought, "The man has probably heard the gospel and rejected it. Funny how I have eternal life, and he, being a genius, doesn't." But it's also not funny at all. | | |
| I was just preparing for a Sunday school lesson I'm teaching this Sunday on the topic of God's incommunicable attributes. (I'm teaching from Grudem's book Bible Doctrine, which is a sort of condensed version of his Systematic Theology.) I'm always excited to study God's incommunicable attributes because my mind is always brought to a point of being utterly undone (along with my heart too sometimes). I think my favorite attributes of His to think about are his eternal existence and omnipresence. He always was, and the word "was" isn't even able to bracket His eternal existence backwards. So before anything was created, there was only Him, not even nothingness existed. So that makes me think that in some incomprehensible sense, we are all inside of Him (though trying to think spatially will probably promote inaccuracies); there is not even nothingness outside His presence. My hands typing this stuff are doing so in His presence. I can speak to Him now -- I don't need to travel to the uttermost parts of the earth in order to meet with Him. No one can escape Him! I think too, that his omnipresence helps me understand an aspect of redemption: specifically, that sin cannot simply be removed from His presence (since there's not even nothingness outside His presence) but rather it must be dealt with fully inside of His presence. In other words, because of His omnipresence, He could only deal with sin by bearing it and by eternally punishing it. I don't know -- I sense a connection there between His omnipresence and eternity and the way He deals with sin, but I can't word it right. Plus these wasabi peas I'm eating are completely throwing my senses off track. | | |
