This blog is my personal blog. All views and articles expressed and written here are solely my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of my church or denomination or anyone else. Most posts are written for my own personal edification, and are not written in response to any external situation, unless otherwise and explicitly stated. Nobody should be reading into them anything other than what is explicitly stated, unless otherwise confirmed by me in writing.
The example of Saul, admired by men but rejected by God (1 Sam. 13:14), exhorts us to measure our success in the church not in terms of numbers or money or political strength — the kinds of things the Sauls of the wolds provide — but in the knowledge of God, in our devotion to Him, and in our holiness before the world.
- Richard D. Phillips, Turning Back the Darkness: The Biblical Pattern of Reformation, (Crossway Books, Wheaton, Il, USA, 2002), p. 51
This is my blog, and in order to facilitate an edifying exchange, I have came up with various blog rules. Please do read them before commenting, as failure to abide by them would make your post liable to being unapproved for publication. Violation of any of the rules three or more times, or at the blog owner's judgment, would make one liable to be banned from posting unless the blog owner (me) is satisfied that such behavior would not occur again.
But, but... how about the marketplace, and being the head and not the tail?!? ;)

ReplyDelete:) Haha, for that, you can ask ("apostle") Ed Silvoso, though don't expect a biblical response....
Don't be so mean -- it might be Biblical, as far as the narrow definition meaning 'taken from the Bible' goes, just out-of-context. ;)
ReplyDeleteIsaiah:
ReplyDeletewas that question of yours serious? I thought it wasn't?
Hmm... I need to work on my humor a little more. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe question wasn't serious at all, of course. God forbid that I ever buy into that nonsense.
Eh... well, it's your second comment. Sounded quite serious..... :)
