Ron Paul is a Pragmatic Choice
logicallypositive:
I don’t deny there are certain socially questionable things about the guy. He is honestly an old-school 1930s conservative. But I mean, look at what the President can do. The President does not pass social laws about race. The President does not create legislation. The President controls foreign policy. And I’m pretty sure that Ron Paul has the sanest foreign policy out of any...

My prayer is that I may be taught to embrace this broken heart so that I may fully know your unceasing love.

In this New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day. This is an ironic juxtaposition of events. One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication. The other involves a groundhog.

My child, you keep asking for my presence and you keep begging me to touch you, but do you not know that I shall draw near to those who draw near to me? Come to me. Not just in prayers of repentance! Not just with songs of worship! Not just in daily readings of the Word! Come to me with all that you are. If you truly desired me, as you say you do, you would be willing to let go of the things...

When your Christian walk seems squeaky-clean and fun, be courageous and ask the Holy Spirit to confront you. He will do it. You will need it.

I’m a sensitive boy that gets roughed up quite easily, and I let the hurt consume my life, and it’s often silly… but my God always hears my cries. He does not always answer the way I begged him to, but his answers are so much greater. And why is he so faithful—why is he so faithful to me? Out of all people, he is faithful to me. He chose me. I will never get it. But the...
Do not let that caricature the enemy has drawn out keep you from accepting and living in the love that Christ has for you. Your brokenness will not get in the way of him seeing you as his precious child. He delights in you.

(Driscoll has blessed me a lot, especially when I first came to believe in Christ. I know the Lord is working through him, using him to bless and feed his flock, but he can be such an ass. It hurt being confronted by the reality of his ass-ish ways, as I used to dismiss his tone and excuse him for he is a complementarian, but I must say that his attitude goes beyond being firm about his...
