Welcome to

The books of poetry are contained within the old testament, yet the spirit still saved a little poetic inspiration for the writers of the new.  One piece of new testament writing that holds a very poetic beauty for me is Ephesians 3:17-19:

…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,   may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height –  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Please read on and I’ll try my feeble hand at speaking on the love of God –>

You ain’t alone, brother.  I recently drove past a local church that was advertising a special ‘Agape Service’,  “Wow,” I thought, “I’d hate to be at one of their regular services…” 

It is this writer’s opinion that the idea of ‘agape’ love has been a bit blown out of proportion by modern day Christians.  There are several different words that the Greeks used to talk about love and these words have been examined in great depth by many.  I recommend the article “Love… Greek Style ” by Bro. Tony Denton, if you wish to get into detailed definitions of these words.  But I want to focus on the much bally-hooed word agape.  Read on –>

I realize the Hallmark Holiday has already passed and I only managed to squeeze in two posts on love before this happened, being my blog, however, I don’t really care.  I believe I will just declare this love month and dredge right along with with my labor of love.  So with out further ado, let’s talk about talking.

I brought up Adam and Eve in my previous post and want to talk about them again now.  I think that a lot of this couple’s problem was that they had a breakdown in communication.  They were apart from one another, which made communication impossible and they evidently had not communicated to one another what to do if there was some sort of trouble in paradise.  Had Adam communicated to Eve to come and find him if she ran across anything unusual (like a talking serpent) or making any rash decisions (like eating the FORBIDDEN fruit) then perhaps this could have been avoided.  How?  Let’s communicate further –>

The title of this article is a quote from William Congreve who also wrote the following:

Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d

Obviously this is a man of great wisdom.  Indeed the time comes when many of us make the choice to cleave from those who have nurtured us and kept us safe in order to join ourselves to another (Gen. 2:24) in that ancient institution… dare I say, made in Heaven?  Of course marriage is made in Heaven, yet so, the saying goes, are thunder and lightning.  We can see this even in that couple so hopelessly made one that she was literally formed from his own flesh (Gen. 2:22).  Yet even in this Eden of a marriage came temptation, blame, and turmoil.  Let us study what makes fools in love STAY in love as I continue in my V-day inspired series on love (a real risk for a conservative to take ;-)  Read on –>

I feel sorry for the significant other in an evolutionist’s life, but more on that later.

For the next several days, leading up to that gloriously commercialized date on the calendar which is founded in fertility festivals and mythical stories about Catholic saints, that being Valentine’s Day, I will be discussing what else but…LOVE.  This may come as a shock to some who believe I have the heart of the grinch, but hopefully these articles will show that I do have some small grasp on the subject      :-) 

I invite my readers to please leave your comments and added thoughts as we go along, because love is nothing if not subjective, and you as the one being subjected to my thoughts on the subject, may have a totally different view. 

The first ‘love’ topic that I want to address is that of love and the evolutionist, I see no monogomous monkeys and no evolutionary advantage to romantic love and monogamy among humans, yet I wouldn’t have it any other way… would the evolutionist?   Read on –>
