I guess that'd be a broken heart for each. Is it just me, or has Larry King had like 5 heart attacks and 5 divorces. I guess that’d be a broken heart for each.

When we take the Bible and make it a rule book, it loses its "aliveness", its quickness. It can still be sharper than a two-edged sword that way, but only because it cuts everybody to shreds who is unable to do everything just as it commands. But again, it is not a rulebook, and the cutting to shreds is done by the interpretation of it as such, and not the message, itself. This is not to say there are not concrete, foundational principles found there, but the way we receive and apply the message determines how we will react. Whe I was a kid, and it rained in the summer, I was mad because I didn't get to play baseball that day. Mr. Snelson, the farmer across the road, was probably thanking God for the same rain. And to some folks, it was a non-event. Thanks for continuing to point us to the life and freedom to be found in Jesus and in community with each other. great series, Mike.

You series on the bible has been fun, and right to the heart of the matter. Thanks for pointing out how we have to work at bridging the two worlds. The world and the time scripture were written and the real time world we live in today. Both very similar but very different. I am glad we have the Holy Spirit as a guide. I like the new look.

I thought, myself, he looks like he's very much with it. Here's how I saw it (see it) - he's a young boy, but he has the heart of Jesus, leaves his favorite game in the whole wide world, uniform still on, bat in hand, cap on head, and he heads up the hill to the Cross. That's what I see in that terrifc picture. Thank, Coping, for the I.D. of your grandson. I thought, myself, he looks like he’s very much with it.
