Stanley Hauerwas On Healthcare

We have lost our way. There is no longer that seriousness in the pew on the stole. All of us care our physicians credential more than they care about their minister credential. Ain't that the truth. I too care more for my physician's credential than I do for my minister.

Here I Am To Worship

Not Charity But Justice

Ancient of Days

O Ancient of Days

Blessing and honor, glory and power, be unto the Ancient of Days.
From every nation, all of creation, bow before the Ancient of Days.
Every tongue in heaven and earth, shall declare Your glory.
Every knee shall bow at Your throne, in worship.
You will be exalted O God, and Your Kingdom shall not pass away.
O Ancient of Days. Repeat

Your Kingdom shall reign over all the earth, sing unto the Ancient of Days.
For none can compare to Your matchless worth, sing unto the Ancient of Days. Bridge

Let My Words Be Few

Let My Words Be Few

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

Chorus:
And I'll stand in awe of You, Jesus
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

Are You Redeemed? Test Yourself?

Even our redeemed self falls at times, so don't be too harsh on yourself.

Are You Sure About That?

Perhaps, that is very true. Nevertheless, one has a better shot on getting a hit on the question than getting one directly from God. Not sure if people are well aware of this but God is quite silent in this country. There are lots of reports in other countries about the appearance of God or of hearing God's voice, but in this country, for the most part with the exception of a few self-righteous delusional spiritual leaders, God is most silent.

Top 10 Endangered Exports

As climate issue keeps on mounting, the world may soon come to realize that certain well loved joys will soon be no longer available. Time magazine has a list of top 10 most endangered exports. The list covers a broad area from Italian pasta all the way to Colorado Ski Resorts. If our current way of impacting our environment does not drastically change for the better, the next great war will be to secure our very limited resource of fresh water. This will have great geopolitical outcomes. The very countries we know will no longer be one nation but perhaps multiple fragmented states united under a common rare resource of fresh water. One such nation could be located in the Great Lakes area in this country. Other possible geopolitical change of wealth could be shifting further away from the Equator as the temperature rises. Greenland could become the greatest beneficiary of the rise temperature as more land in Greenland actually becomes more green. This could greatly influence migration patterns in the world. The Equator could soon become the wasteland - "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" (T. S. Eliot). Humanity seems to have arrived at a cross road. Where shall we go?

The Wonderful Cross

A Matter Of Perspective

This is certainly true of Wall-Street. They suck the life out of main-street. It is ashame that "Frontline" doesn't work on either Wall-Street or on Washington.
