We turned the tables in What Can You Say?, which is now:

What Can I Say?

Does God have humor? I know so. If He doesn't, we certainly do, and you will find this writing eye-opening, as well as instructive and incisive. It is a satirical work of many verbal and mental examples expressing the self-importance and contradiction in us all.

We have a new False Teacher:

Ehrman, Bart:

Throwing Away the Bible

Bart Ehrman wrote a bestseller with the sensational title, Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why. You can relax, though. The Bible is mostly intact with very little corruption. Mr. Ehrman’s problem is that he was once religious and mistook his belief in the Bible for an authentic faith in God. Finding flaws in the Bible destroyed his faith in the letter, which, because it is a false god, is not a bad thing. Only the faith of Jesus Christ, which is personal and firsthand knowledge of God, will prosper one spiritually, enabling him or her to understand the Spirit of the Scriptures.

And new Proverbs:

829. We worry about tomorrow, because God has not provided for tomorrow, because tomorrow isn’t here yet.

830. Is the man noble who doesn’t take vengeance on the bee for stinging him when he knows the bee will die for the act anyway?

831. “One world government! A New World Order!” people cry in fear, not having faith in the One Who rules all things and by Whom all things consist.

8/13/08: New Proverbs:

797. A son will give his right hand for his father, and a father will give his life for his son.

8/8/08: We have a new Teaching:

Offendedness

Jesus said that those who were not offended in Him were blessed. How hard, yes, even impossible, it is for men and women to not be offended by the Truth. We have all been there. It is time to take a closer look at what has been reaped by taking offense, and to differentiate between reactions of selfishness and speaking the Truth in righteousness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8/6/08: We have a new Teaching:

Insincere Sincerity

It is commonly said of many that they are hungering after God. That is not true. There is a sincere desire for a god that will give people what they want, but only an insincere desire for what God the Creator wants. To say that these people are seeking God is delusion. Now that we have that out in the open, something will be done about it.

New Proverbs:

787. The rich insulate themselves with the poor from trouble, but in time the insulation becomes the trouble.

788. It does not take much salt to flavor the food because salt is strong; so genuine faith goes a long way and accomplishes much.

796. One becomes servant to the influence he chooses.
