Some people seem to have the idea that if we ask God for things, if we petition God, that’s somehow self-centered or unspiritual. Only if we’re worshiping God or telling him how great he is are we truly glorifying him. This is a very mistaken, and possibly even a spiritually fatal, idea. When we ask God for things, we are not somehow less spiritual than when we tell God how great he is. Answered prayer is greatly more Godhonoring than unanswered prayer. --P. Andrew Sandlin
Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully...
...which angels desire to look into.

No Room For Timid Pietism
Will we be in Heaven or on earth? The answer is yes.
When we rebelled against Him, there was a great rupture. Heaven was now distant, and we were left down here, under the sun, shepherding wind. Where shall we be after the resurrection? After the last trump has sounded, and after all the dead are raised, and after the sea gives up her dead, where will we all be? Where will we live? Will we be in Heaven or on earth? The answer is yes. Everything will be united again. Christ came in order to heal the rupture, and to heal it completely. --D. Wilson
FREE SPEECH!
Any country that does not allow a free discussion of the process by which its leaders are elected is not a democracy, by definition. --Tucker Carlson
