Two Beneficial Decisions

October 28, 2011 by Fritz

I recently made two decisions which have helped me a lot:

  1. Twice a day stop what I’m doing and pray for 15 minutes.

    The world will not fall apart if I don’t answer the phone or return a e-mail for 15 minutes

  2. Stop talking.

    My faith project is to say nothing I don’t have to say. Apart from a friendly, “Hello”, or to answer (succinctly) a question asked directly to me, I purpose to be quiet. Oh! It’s difficult for someone so loquacious but I’m getting better and it’s been such a blessing, especially with my kids!

    Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath — James 1:19

Sound Bite: Pray more, talk less

Using The Bible The Way Intended

October 26, 2011 by Fritz

“The Bible is often turned to as a source of favorite quotations. It is used as the authority for pop psychology or to undergird a personal philosophy of life. it is dissected, divided, and dispensationalized to fit our way of thinking. I sometimes wonder if God would even recognize His Book the way it is presented in some of our churches.
…
“The Bible is a record of God’s restoring to humanity what was lost in Eden…the Bible is the Word codified…Christ is the Word incarnate…The Word was given, both in written and living form, to return us to a personal relationship with the almighty God.”

— Judson Cornwall, Praying the Scriptures
