  • Simplicity

    One negative thing about today's society is that people have lost the value of simplicity.  Simplicity is such a good thing.  People make life and situtations way too complicated.  It is so important to just sit back and enjoy life sometimes.  Society moves way too fast paced.  Patience is not stagnation.  So do yourself a favor sit back and enjoy life some.  :)

  • Campbell

    Well I am finally at Campbell and everything is great.  I feel such a peace here, it is good.  I just keep feeling an excitement in my spirit.  I cannot wait to see what God is going to do in eastern north carolina!  i already see Him bringing things together to prepare for what is to come.  it's like what matthew said about 2007 being the year where God is going to tie loose ends.

    I was talking to a friend here and we started to discuss how God can speak to people through dreams.  So I told her to pray that God would give her a dream.  After she prayed that she had a dream pop into her mind that had been reoccurring in the past month.  In this dream she was running in a castle being chased by a huge giant trying to kill her.  There were all of these doors that she kept going in a leaving that were dark (these represent the different paths and choices in life).  Then she met a man that said I have already been through all of these doors.  just use the keys.  and she looked and saw a gate that looked like the entrance to a graveyard and saw a huge key.  She had never read that verse about Jesus taking the keys from Hades.  I thought that was so cool how God talked to her!  God is amazing.

  • My First Post

     

    In relationship to God one can not involve himself to a certain degree.  God is precisely the contradiction to all that is "to a certain degree."

    There is something frightful in the fact that the most dangerous thing of all, playing at Christianity, is never included in the list of heresies and schisms.

    The difference between an admirer and a follower still remains, no matter where you are.  The admirer never makes any true sacrifices.  He always plays it safe.  Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Christ, he renounces nothing, gives up nothing, will not reconstruct his life, will not be what he admires, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires.
