The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: "Yom"

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: "Yom": "Most theologians throughout church history agree that in using the phrase “the evening and the morning were the first day,” the Scriptures are speaking of a literal 24-hour day, rather than a period of years.

“To understand the meaning of ‘day’ in Genesis 1, we need to determine how the Hebrew
word for ‘day,’ yom, is used in the context of Scripture...A number, and the phrase ‘evening and
morning,’"

Another Day, Another Faux Christian Outrage: Costco's Fiction Bible — www.christianitytoday.com — Readability

Another Day, Another Faux Christian Outrage: Costco's Fiction Bible — www.christianitytoday.com — Readability: "My wife and I had attended our small group on Tuesday night of last week. We finished up a marriage series, and I learned that I wasn't communicating in her love language—most guys can relate! She snapped a photo of a jacket she liked at Costco, and so last Friday I went there looking for it. On my way out of the store, I was browsing through some of their books. I noticed the Bible was being sold and had a label on it that said "Fiction." As I checked, I noticed that all Bibles were labeled in that fashion. I went to find someone in the store and inquire as to why it was labeled fiction. Unfortunately, I couldn't."

A sad thing

It's very sad that people will shoot each other, trample each other, and fight
Over material things, less than 24 hours after they celebrate being
Thankful to God for what they already have.

Is The Military Blacklisting Christians? - Patriot UpdatePatriot Update: "Christians are under assault. For all most Americans know, there is still freedom of religion, guaranteed by the First Amendment. This is a lie.

Words of Comfort: John Wesley. — www.onthebox.us — Readability: "“While [every true believer] cries out, ‘O what love have I unto thy Law! All the day long is my

study in it;’ he sees daily, in that divine mirror, more and more of his own sinfulness. He sees more and more clearly that he is fullness a sinner in all things—that neither his heart nor his ways are right before God, and that every moment sends him to Christ"

A FIELD GUIDE TO EVANGELISM (5/10) — www.theolatte.com — Readability

A FIELD GUIDE TO EVANGELISM (5/10) — www.theolatte.com — Readability: "The human epic is stained by guilt, shame and regret. Even if some deny the reality of God, they cannot functionally deny the existence of guilt.

People can try to discard it as a social construct, or repress it through medication, but there is a proven track record that emancipation from guilt can’t be obtained through human efforts. When we share the gospel with skeptics, we speak to their innate knowledge of God and their deep understanding of their moral guilt. But we must remember that guilt is only a symptom. Sin and separation from God are the true problems. And grace is the only antidote."
