Judging

“Bah, Christians! They’re so intolerant. They’re always thinking that they’re better then everyone else. Can’t they just let us live our own lives? They should stop judging everyone… hey, even I know the Bible says that you shouldn’t judge, otherwise you’ll be judged, too!”

I find it somewhat humorous that even sinful, worldly people can quote Matthew 7:1 – Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Also, many people know that “God is love” and Christians should being loving, too. And they confuse hate for sin with hate for people.

“Whoever wishes to be a friend of the world…”

“You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

- James 4:4, NASB

Have you ever wanted to could go with your friends to that big party? Have you ever been walking down the street, and just wished you could steal another glance at that good-looking guy or girl – even though you know you probably shouldn’t? Have you ever wanted to tag along to that movie… the one that everyone’s going to… and, you know, there’s only that one scene that isn’t really the greatest.

“Winning the War Within” Book review and thoughts

Wow. Just wow. I read this book almost in one night, and finished it the next day. This is a great book.

I’m actually wanting to get some reviews on my blog… the purpose for this wouldn’t be just to review books, but reading such books really provokes awesome thoughts and ideas. Let’s talk about the book itself for a little bit.
