I am thankful for God’s Standard. In this age especially there are so many ideas and so many beliefs and so many ideologues it gets very confusing. So many people want you to see things their way and attempt with all their ingenuity to get you to do so. There is such a comfort in knowing that God has revealed Himself to us in His Word and through His Son. How gracious of Him to do this for us!

News came out today that Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games for breaking MLB’s drug policy. It sucks that baseball is killing itself from within. It’s a common expectation that the players are “juiced” and “dirty” and we’re surprised (and still suspicious) when a player is clean. It womps.
Why is so much in Christianity simply a big personality cult? So much of how Christians operate focuses on Christian leaders and not on Christ. Lord save us from ourselves!
