""But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."  [2 Peter 3:8 ESV]

"Good advice for growing a church.
But for growing THE CHURCH, I’d start with John 12:47, being Evanlogically mindful of Ezekiel 3:27 and Matthew 10:12-14.
This approach may have more secular appeal than Evanmotional Bible thumping."

Are Christian leaders really starting to hyphenate the Gospel?

Evanlogical confession.


If you make a grievous mistake, then realize it, shouldn’t you correct it?

Organized religion made such a mistake when it officially set December 25th as Christmas.  This overlapped a pagan feast, now called the winter solstice.

Over the succeeding centuries, Christmas was infiltrated by pagan practices.  Fir trees were incorporated in the 16th century.  Father Christmas arrived in the latter part of the 19th century.

HUMAN MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ABSOLUTE COMPLETE FAITH IN CHRIST

Sharing Evanlogicalism. How sure are you of your faith in Christ? 100%?  Really? Having TRUE knowledge, now that’s a 100% sure thing. Faith?  If faith = TRUE knowledge, why do we differentiate these two concepts? Now, how sure are you of your faith in Christ? Even the strongest faith can only approach 99.9999999…% Don’t lie to yourself.  With faith, humans always have an iota of doubt. It is also Written, Somewhere, that God is not fond of lying either.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT GIVING IDEA

Sharing Evanlogicalism:  Easing Guilt. What goes around, comes around. Every spring and winter, in its journey around our sun, the planet earth comes to a point of equal day and night.  In the northern hemisphere, the vernal equinox happens on or around June 21st.  On or around December 21st, it is the autumnal equinox for the “northerners:”  the start of winter. Long ago, the winter equinox was actually celebrated as the winter solstice.  Celebrated because sun light increased daily thereafter…
