Well, I do not matter, but your words do. Don't be pedantic; just be sincere. I resent Pastors who arrive and say, "I'm delighted to be here with all of you," sort of like yawning in the house of God. I'd rather be like David weeping for the House of God when he was far away from it. Wouldn't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10440952.post-58274062747594625872006-10-18T22:05:00.000-07:002006-10-18T22:05:00.000-07:00When I look at the sunlight on the ocean, the face...When I look at the sunlight on the ocean, the facets of the waves gleaming, I am reminded of Transfiguration Light. I don't want to quote Romans 1:20; I want to live it. Likewise, write what Christ's teachings really mean to you. Don't try to please your audience. <br /> Don't you love the simplicity of the Beatitudes? " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Imagine Christ's hand upon the head of a child, then think of purity in that context. What would happen to your writing if you became like a child? <br /> Peace be with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10440952.post-73736118838005901072006-10-18T22:00:00.000-07:002006-10-18T22:00:00.000-07:00I am also a Christian and while I agree with your ...I am also a Christian and while I agree with your spiritual tenets I find your language somewhat pretentious, not quite real. Say what you really think and feel, not what you think you should write in a politically correct, almost Pollyannish manner. When Christ was despised and rejected of men, it was for a reason. He spoke wisedly, harshly, and almost crudely to the Pharisees and others. He called them names like "Hypocrites and vipers," and didn't aplologize. He knocked over tables. So why don't you do that linguistically too? Have some power, not poetic niceties, behind your language. I do not believe you as you write this way although I believe that your heart is sincere before God and man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
