A collection of thoughts from my earliest years online. Healthy things grow. In leaving this anthology online, my hope is to document growth as well as to echo timeless truths. As you process these years of my life, please read with that proper perspective. We all grow and until we're with the Lord, we are all still growing.
"The third assumption is that tolerance is the highest end. Christianity (and thereby
In the interest of ?tolerance and love?, I would hope that outlets such as MTV would take the time to sit down and truly understand where many conservative young people are coming from. There is a national movement among young evangelical Christians to better articulate their views and demonstrate love to all people at all levels while maintaining their belief in scripture. There are many homosexuals who attend conservative evangelical churches and they remain because the sexual issue is only one part of who they are. Homosexuals should not only be defined by their sexuality and conservative evangelicals should not only be defined by their belief in this one issue either. There is much more common ground than there is division. It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable."
Tolerance sounds like a wonderful word but it is nothing when compared to love. It was in fact out of a LACK OF TOLERANCE FOR SIN that Jesus demonstrated the ULTIMATE ACT OF LOVE. In that case I'm very glad that tolerance wasn't the highest standard.22Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
Paul took time "and looked carefully at your objects of worship".Isaiah 43:6b-7

Liberty’s Allyson Fasnacht hit a 13-foot jump shot with 14.9 seconds left to seal the Lady Flames’ 53-50 win over High Point in the title game of the 2006 Advance Auto Parts Big South Women’s Basketball Championship.(The following is taken from a LU email sent out today to Alumni, Friends and Students of Liberty University)
GIVE A VOTE FOR LIBERTY DEBATE
My topic today is a bit unusual.
In fact, I’d like to ask you to do me a favor.
The Liberty University Debate Team — which has become a dynasty in the world of college debate by winning 15 national championships — has been nominated to be spotlighted during the “CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer” Friday feature known as “Assignment America.” Each Friday, CBS previews three stories, with the Liberty Debate Team scheduled to be one of those three “story pitches” on tonight’s broadcast.
After the Friday broadcast, viewers are invited to visit the CBS News website ( http://www.cbsnews.com ) to vote on which of the three story pitches they want to see covered by CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman, who travels across the country to cover the chosen stories.
Whichever story gets the most votes by 2:00 p.m. ET on Monday is the winner.
So, here’s the favor I’d like to request.
I would love for Liberty’s Debate Team to get this national exposure. It would be a great promotion for Liberty and a wonderful way for viewers to see these Christian college students who are at the pinnacle of the highly competitive college debate world.
So, I am asking you to take a moment to visit the CBS News website ( http://www.cbsnews.com ) after tonight’s (Friday’s) CBS News broadcast and cast a vote for Liberty Debate.
