		<description><![CDATA[For decades I have heard people use the expression: &#8220;In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.&#8221; I think a common reply to this is that we can never agree as to what is essential and what is non-essential. In fact, , so we debate and debate the particular question at hand. However, [...]]]></description>

This is not a criticism of one side or the other, except to the extent that, as Yeats wrote: &#8220;The best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Theologians are always debating the righteousness of God in justification.  Is it imputed?  Is it infused?  Is it forensic? I can&#8217;t tell you the torture I put myself through for decades over this kind of stuff.  Like a navigator who knows if his calculation is off by the slightest degree he will miss the mark, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was in Ex 20 this morning.  Besides the fact that I have broken every one of the 10 in so many ways except the obvious ones people think of. I often put myself as a god before God.  I have used His name in vain.  Even when I remember the sabbath (most weeks in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our views of God are critically affected when, in an attempt to understand Him and know Him, we make Him into our image so we can relate better.  We are people made in the image of God, so we look at ourselves like shadows on Plato&#8217;s cave wall, instead of looking at the one who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It occurred to me this morning as I was praying that God still hears (is continuously hearing) all the prayer I have ever offered to Him.  He is not bounded by time.  Which means that when we praise Him we add to the eternal chorus of all saints living and dead that is eternally on-going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across this quote that for me just shows how Christians thinkers, as humans, try to sift the mysteries of God into false hierarchical categories: &#8220;Holiness is pre-eminent in God, for in the actual dealings of God his other attributes are conditioned and limited by his holiness. This is beheld excellently well on Calvary: [...]]]></description>
