"October 17, 2018"     " Prompt: "Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door." Coco Chanel Write anything you want about this."The book "Alcoholics Anonymous" has a passage in it that has become synonymous with practicing that program. It says essentially that acceptance is the answer to every problem a person can face. When people accept things for being the way they are they no longer have to fight their circumstances. If one continues to beat their head against a brick wall one is going to continue to walk away with a headache or worse. If one simply accepts that it is a brick wall, which isn't going to change or move, one no longer needs to fight it. Fighting a wall and hoping to transform it into a door becomes senseless unless you are a destructive teenager who would simply smash the wall in an thus make a door. Most reasonable people however realize that the only way to transfer a wall into a door is to place a real wall there. Acceptance is indeed the answer. Prompt: "Use these two quotes in your writing today--"There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.."~ Josh Jameson and "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."~ Martin Luther King" "Use these two quotes in your writing today-- "There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.."~ Josh Jameson and"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."~ Martin Luther King and Josh Jameson make sense from a Christian perspective. When Christians fail to speak out they are failing to do the will of God. Some of the things I have said on here have been dubbed bigotry and even "hate speech" but everything I have said has been from the Bible. I have been accused of hiding behind the Bible to spout hate speech but the fact of the matter is that I do not have to agree with something to adhere to it. I will admit that the Bible is anything but a modern book with ultra liberal world views. However the Bible is God's word and I am not God. I cannot change God. I can only preach God's word as it is written, which is my duty as a Christian. I wish people would understand that. Instead they hate God so much that they hate anything associated with God and that includes Christians. It is much easier to accuse a Christian of preaching hatred than it is to admit that something they are doing is contrary to God's will. Saying something is right in the world's eyes does not make it right in God's eyes for God is not of the world. He transcends the world though ultimately He will judge the world. Because I know He will judge the world I feel compelled to warn the world of sin and judgment to come.    |
