Ever notice how many time God actually swears in the Bible?
What's that about?
St Paul tells us that he does it because he wants us to believe Him. Because God could swear by nothing higher, he swore by Himself, His name, His character.
Still, why do we have problems believing God?
How strange that the world is made of faith, and made by faith....and yet we who were made to have faith, made to be faithful,....are so unaccustomed to faithfulness?
Despair, doubt, discouragement (and all those d's) come so easily.
What joy and pleasure we would have if we woke up every morning with the Decision to simply believe God's word today!
This will be a blog for Christians, for people who are part of a minority, for writers. I'm a poet, essayist, devotionalist, reviewer and writer of speculative fiction.Let God be true...and every man a liar.
