My Prayer Closet (2011)
Under the Tower of Babel (1995)
Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment. No one is looking for substance. But we keep on writing and we think someone will read it. Oh, how we deceive ourselves -- convinced of our own immortality. Words, words, words . . . - cominus

She was once faithful but now she has prostituted herself; in other words, she previously served God but now she is consumed in her pursuit of wealth and personal comfort – she has sold herself to pleasure.

I am of the former and further believe those who are chosen were chosen before the creation of the world (Eph 1:4). Regardless, which view you take in this matter, there are [...]
