Memo To GOP: Here's How to Attract Women - wnd.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Conservatives have facts and logic on their side but will not get anywhere with female voters until those principles are combined with empathy and an explanation of how their ideas would help the lives of individual people, according to former Hewlett-Packard CEO and former U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. Fiorina is the founder and head of the Unlocking Potential Project, a group dedicated to grassroots engagement of women on core issues."

The Daily Spurgeon for Friday, September 5, 2014

Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"But did I hear you whisper that this was not a convenient time? Then what must I say to you? When will that convenient time come? Shall it come when you are in hell? Will that time be convenient? Shall it come when you are on your dying bed, and the death throttle is in your throat—shall it come then? Or when the burning sweat is scalding your brow; and then again, when the cold clammy sweat is there, shall those be convenient times? When pains are racking you, and you are on the borders of the tomb? No, sir, this morning is the convenient time. May God make it so. Remember, I have no authority to ask you to come to Christ to-morrow. The Master has given you no invitation to come to him next Tuesday. The invitation is, "To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation," for the Spirit saith "to-day." "Come nowand let us reason together;" why should you put it off? It may be the last warning you shall ever have. Put it off, and you may never weep again in chapel."

My Favorite Poems

I'm not a poet. I probably couldn't write a poem if my life depended on it. But I do appreciate others who have gifts in this area. Here are some of my favorite poems:


He Always Wanted to Say Things (my favorite poem, by far!)
The Fountains mingle with the rivers 

I have Wept in the Night                                    
Heaven's very special child
The Poison Tree                    
What is the Gospel According to you?                           
Ryle vs. Hoyle
Said the robin to the sparrow  
A Narrow Fellow in the Grass                                        
The  Bible vs. the TV Guide
The Oyster                          
 I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed
Tis a Point I Long to Know       
America the Beautiful               
The Surgeon does not Blanch at Pain
A Wise Old Owl                      
If
The calf path                       
A man said to the universe, 'Sir, I Exist!'
The Loom of Time                   
Invictus & My Captain
Jenny Kissed Me                   
There Was a Cautious Man
No time to pray                    
Why Must I weep While others Sing?
I said a prayer for you today  
Your laws ignore our deepest needs
I Had No Time to Hate           
My friend I stand in judgment now
One by one God took them from me 
I dropped my Brain
I had been hungry all the years  
Miss Heroin
I'm Nobody, Who Are You?      
When you were a tadpole and I was a fish
The Royal Feast was done      
Lead Us, Evolution
Two Natures                         
To fight aloud is very brave
I Bargained with Life               
Oh saw ye the Lass with the bonny blue een?
Razors Pain You                     
It Was not Death For I Stood Up
Mary had a little lamb              
What? Giving Again I cried in Dismay
The Wayfarer                           
Young people who delight in sin
I asked the Lord that I may grow 
'Twas the night before Jesus came
I felt a funeral                          
Show me the prison #1
Not as all Women Are                 
Show me the prison #2
Touch of the Master's Hand         
What if Dr. Suess wrote Technical Manuel's?
If a child lives with criticism        
Because I could not stop for death
The Devil's Vision                       
A big silver dollar and a little brown cent
Female of the Species                 
I'd rather see a sermon
Now I sit Me Down in School         
Oh, what a happy child I am

My Favorite Christian Songs

The Bible says: "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." - Colossians 3:16

I like to think of these three categories of Christian songs in this way:

Psalms are paraphrases of the Psalms set to music:

 Psalm 48,  Psalm 103,  Psalm 72, Psalm 51, Psalm 148, Psalm 32, Psalm 27, Psalm 125, Psalm 9, Psalm 90, and Psalm 1, Psalm 145.

Hymns are, generally speaking, what you find in a hymn book of say 100 years ago:

  There's Power in the Blood (Medley), Be Thou My Vision, O Perfect Love,  His Name is Wonderful,  Great is Thy Faithfulness, Immortal, Invisible, Holy, Holy, Holy, Amazing Grace, The Old Rugged Cross, At The Cross, At The Cross (Medley),My Jesus I Love Thee, Standing on the Promises, Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders, Just As I Am, Crown Him with Many Crowns, The Church is One Foundation, Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah, I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace, Little Drummer Boy, How Deep The Father's Love For Us, Jesus Shall Reign, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, What A Friend We Have in Jesus, Battle Hymn of the Republic (English) (Korean?)   How Great Thou Art, For All the Saints, Silent Night (English), Silent Night (German), Tell Me the Old Old Story,  He Arose (sung in English and, I think, Japanese!), The Great Judgment Morning, This Is My Father's World, Joy to the World, I Love to Tell the Story, It Is Well With My Soul, I Must Tell Jesus, Savior Again, To Thy Dear Name We Raise, Like a  River Glorious, Tell Me The Story of Jesus, What a Friend We Have in Jesus, I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,  By The Sea of Crystal, He Leadeth Me, Have Thine Own Way, Lord, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing (sung in Lakota, a Native American language), Spirit of God Descend Upon My Heart, O  Holy Night (Sung in Navajo, a Native American Language).

And Spiritual songs refer to much of what we call today, Contemporary Christian Music:

Please Search the Book Again,  Because He Lives, My God and I,  Meeting in the Air, There'll Be Joy in the Morning On That Day,  There is Coming a Day, Awesome God, Above All Powers, He's Alive, Mary Did You Know?, Are You Washed in the Blood of The Lamb & I'll Fly Away, They Baptized Jesse Taylor, Plenty of Room in the Family, If That Isn't Love, El Shaddai, He Giveth More Grace, It Is No Secret, This Old House, There is a Redeemer, This World is Not My Home, Lord I Lift Your Name on High, Days of Elijah, And the Gift Goes On, Alabare A Mi Senor (Spanish), Please Don't Send Me to Africa, My God Is Real,  I Saw the Light, and Jesus Take the Wheel (See my post Why Jesus Didn't Take the Wheel!).

I don't know what the Apostle Paul would think of the way I categorized Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs, but I have a feeling he would say "That's close enough!" I'd like to recommend to you one of the best books I've read on Worship and Christian music:

A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God - Centered Worship, by Dr. Michael Horton

Scientific Study Backs Intelligent Design

Scientific Study Backs Intelligent Design - wnd.com

Excerpt from this article:

A new peer-reviewed scientific study challenges a common argument for the Darwinian theory of evolution by showing that so-called “redundant” units in the human genome actually have highly specialized functions. Casey Luskin, an attorney with graduate degrees in both science and law, explained in a report published at Evolution News and Views that evolutionists have generally assumed that synonymous codons – a sequence of three consecutive nucleotides that is part of the genetic code – are functionally equivalent. A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids. Luskin is research coordinator for the Center for Science and Culture
