LIE DOWN WITH STRIPPERS, WAKE UP WITH PLEAS - Yahoo! News: "This deep-seated societal fear of being accused of 'hypocrisy' applies only to behavior touching on morals.
But we're all rotten sinners, incapable of redemption on our own. The liberal answer to sin is to say: I can never pay this back, so my argument will be I didn't do anything wrong.
The religion of peace's answer is: I've just beheaded an innocent man -- I'm off to meet Allah!
I don't know what the Jewish answer is, but I'm sure it's something other than, 'therefore, what I did is no longer bad behavior' -- or the Talmud could be a lot shorter.
The Christian answer is: I can never pay this back, but luckily that Christ fellow has already paid my debt."

WorldNetDaily: What do you live for?
WorldNetDaily: What do you live for?: "The godliest people I know are real people. They love God. Their priorities are in order. Yet there is balance to their lives. Theirs is a practical faith, not a spacey, wild-eyed, one-taco-short-of-a-combination-plate kind of spirituality. It is this real faith that the Bible proclaims."

WorldNetDaily: Through the storm
WorldNetDaily: Through the storm: ..."We need to do the same thing when we face storms in our lives that cause us to worry, even panic. We need to look to our Instructor: Jesus. He is saying, 'Look at Me. Don't worry about the waves. Don't worry about the circumstances. Don't panic. Look at Me.' I believe there are three kinds of storms we will face in our lives as Christians: correcting storms, perfecting storms, and protecting storms."...

Activeword.org - Devotional: "Holy Relatable
And the common people heard Him gladly. (Mark 12:37 NKJV)
Jesus is the champion of the common man. When He walked this earth, He did not shut Himself up in an ivory tower. He walked the back roads and city streets of Israel just like everyone else. He didn't run in the A-list social circles. He was willing to rub shoulders with the lowest of the low, the world's Z-list. And He didn't talk in terms that only exceptionally educated people could understand; He spoke in the plain street language of His day. The religious elite had done an excellent job of distancing the average man from God, so you can imagine how refreshing it was as Jesus entered the scene, turning the religious system upside-down and putting God back within reach of the common folks. No wonder they heard Him gladly.
He was relatable to those He came into contact with, and we should be following His example. There are some Christians who feel their effectiveness as a witness is in direct proportion to their weirdness. They speak in King James English, carry around one of those mammoth coffee-table Bibles, and frequently incorporate references to 'the blood of the Lamb' and 'crucifying the flesh' into their casual conversations. That's not being a witness; that's being weird!
Effective Christians know all of those aforementioned things but also that the aver"

Charlotte Observer | 01/31/2006 | Enter world of self-storage auctions: "For Craig Robertson, district manager for Shurgard affiliate Moringstar Properties, auctions embody 'the dark side' of self-storage.
'We're not in the business of selling other people's belongings,' he said.
He would rather cut a deal with delinquent tenants than sell their possessions, he added. But auctions allow storage managers to clear units for paying customers."

Evil must be defeated if peace on earth is to exist. That Fox and his colleagues could not, or would not see this, is most tragic of all."

Kidnapped as a boy, Patrick was a slave for six years in pagan, druid Ireland. He miraculously escaped, only to dream years later that he must go back. By his death in 461, Patrick had founded 300 churches, baptized 120,000 believers, and his followers re-evangelized Europe.
This St. Patrick's Day will have new meaning for all who read this great book by William Federer.
