The Gift of Samuel

Children, Intimacy & Divine Desire
  • rah

Hedonists everywhere should be concerned; after all, lust is what it has always been. Even when it is attended by pleasure, lust remains ungratified and ungratifying. This will surprise no one, but it does seem to bother some. Otherwise, there would not be such a rush to exalt lust as love, or to confuse their rewards.

Matthew 19 reminds us that better questions often obtain better answers; but it more strikingly reminds us that the character of a question is first found in the integrity of a man’s heart. In the end, an inquirer’s ignorance is not nearly as damning as his unbelieving disposition.

Underneath a Varnish

The nature of man & his sin
  • The Editor
  • July 10, 2020
"When the evolutionists understand all these terrible situations to be atavism, to be the outworking of an animal-like past, then they undermine the concept of sin, turn wickedness into a sickness, change the sense of guilt into an illusion, turn prisons into hospitals, and they thereby do an injustice to the animal world. For animals do not live as people often live with and among each other."

Morals are first exercised in the family
  • The Editor
  • May 14, 2020
"No matter what interest may induce people to form a connection with each other, these are always people who are morally responsible and may not do whatever they may happen to desire or want."
