One thing that continually bugs me is the attack on Christian forums where one person tells everyone else they are going to Hell. And they seem to do it with glee. Sometimes with that awful mocking laughing face emoji. It is shameful and disheartening. A doctrinal disagreement breaks out online and out come the holier-than-thou-ers. You just cringe because you know they are going to be there. They tell you every reason why you are going to Hell and every reason why they are going to Heaven. They completely forget about the Highest Common Denominator: Jesus. They didn't die on the Cross for you; He did! Chances are the holier-than-thou-ers wouldn't give you a glass of water if you were thirsty. How is such an attitude and comport edifying...

Antichrist Spirit

  I don't often do something like this, but I'm going to take a guess at a future Biblical character. Paul-Henri Spaak (1899 - 1972) was a former Belgian Prime Minister. He was one of the masterminds behind the formation of the European Union. Here is his most famous quote: "π‘Šπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘›π‘œπ‘‘ π‘€π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘Žπ‘›π‘œπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘œπ‘šπ‘šπ‘–π‘‘π‘‘π‘’π‘’, 𝑀𝑒 β„Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘’ π‘‘π‘œπ‘œ π‘šπ‘Žπ‘›π‘¦ π‘Žπ‘™π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘‘π‘¦.  π‘Šβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ 𝑀𝑒 π‘€π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 𝑖𝑠 π‘Ž π‘šπ‘Žπ‘› π‘œπ‘“ 𝑠𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑 π‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œ β„Žπ‘œπ‘™π‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘Žπ‘™π‘™π‘’π‘”π‘–π‘Žπ‘›π‘π‘’ π‘œπ‘“ π‘Žπ‘™π‘™ π‘π‘’π‘œπ‘π‘™π‘’, π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑑 𝑒𝑠 π‘œπ‘’π‘‘ π‘œπ‘“ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘’π‘π‘œπ‘›π‘œπ‘šπ‘–π‘ π‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘ π‘  π‘–π‘›π‘‘π‘œ π‘€β„Žπ‘–π‘β„Ž 𝑀𝑒 π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘ π‘–π‘›π‘˜π‘–π‘›π‘”.

Spaak very succinctly spoke of the financial mess humanity would find itself in at that time and the blindness by which it would welcome someone to (pretend to) lead it back out. We know the antic...

Let Them Set Their Own Trap

When I was younger, I was a rural paper carrier on a 100 mile backroads route. I ran 7 days a week, and only got New Year's Day, Easter, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day off. The 'rain or shine' thing is a joke to a rural paper carrier; we were out at 3AM in snow country; hours before the snow plows, and not only had to drive on roads that were snow covered, but also continually pull off of them into even deeper snow on the shoulder to put the papers into their boxes. We had to deal with -30° weather, windchill, snow, sleet, and ice storms with the window open. Yeah, all that 'the mail must go through!' jazz except it was newspapers. Deer and other animal road hazards, downed trees, junk that fell off of trucks, drunks stumbling home on foot in the dark and trying to stop you to get a ride were all in a night's work. Flat tires and worse: car breakdowns in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in the age before cel...
