si·ne qua non – something absolutely indispensable or essential
Jesus is si·ne qua non to Christianity. If you take out Jesus, Christianity would not exist. Christianity is based on a person, not on teachings.
I like that. It brings us back to the basics. My salvation is not based on following Jesus’ teachings, but in following Jesus a person.
Greg Koukl said as an apologist, the toughest question he’s been asked is:
“Do you remember me?”
Haha…:)
Egg hunt, dye eggs, baskets of prizes and candy…I did Easter activities with the kids at church today.
While I’ve had less desire to work directly with the children as I’ve gotten older, I really enjoyed them today.
Highlights:
“Everyone come give me a hug and line up to go outside!” I called. The mob…
A great hymn for the Easter weekend.
Words and music by William J. Gaither
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Yesterday, I turned off the computer from 11:30-3:00, as a spiritual discipline.
Even though I am not always on the computer, I have a tendency to turn to the computer in my spare time – to read blogs, read the news, read articles on my favorite websites, search for interesting clips on Youtube, etc. Once in a while I might even get a forward on my email worth reading.
Do you remember anything your professor taught in school?
Dr. Bing Hunter said something in his lecture that I have remembered for the last 20+ years.
He held up a blackboard eraser (in the old days, we used blackboard and chalk) and put it directly in front of his eyes.
“How could they let their hamster have more babies? They should be more responsible pet owners!”
I know many of you are thinking that since you read my last post.
Let me explain and vindicate myself.
Did you know that hamsters go into heat within 24 hours after giving birth? I know, it’s…just not right…but that’s God’s design for those little critters.
I recently finished reading “The 10 Dumbest Things Christians Do“, by Mark Atteberry.
The title sets itself up for a series: “10 More Dumb Things Christians Do”; “The 10 Dumbest Things Teenage Christians Do”; “The 10 Dumbest Things Christian Women Do”…I will refrain from going on.
Today we gave away three of our baby hamsters to a loving home.
Here is the story:
Amy and I were at Petsmart buying our pet supplies. As usual, we browse through all the tanks of fish, cages of birds, and enclosures of small animals. While we were looking at the hamsters, an employee took out the dwarf hamster cage to pick one out for a customer. Behind them was a family of two moms and two little girls, waiting for their turn to pick a hamster.
