Was it a day like today? Did the dawn chase away midnight dreams? From mountain peaks to valley floors, surely all creation joined nature’s chorus as the Almighty’s symphony sprang to life. This voiceless choir sang utopian melodies of heavenly ecstasy while lions and lambs shared breakfast leaves.

Not a harsh word or even a weed polluted this pristine paradise. Did the nightingale’s breezy chorus awaken our first parents? Possibly their eyes opened at the gentle nudge of a peaceable beast. They rose, they laughed and innocence reigned. Then mutiny. Treason!

Banks offer us many convenient services, but they hardly do so out of the kindness of their hearts. Almost any little service imaginable that a bank provides has at least a small fee associated with it. These fees individually are usually small, but together can add up to a great deal. Better understanding these fees and how they’re triggered should give a greater ability to judge how useful they are in relation to the cost and whether or not they should be avoided in the future.

“Committed Christians may fall into sin, but a carnal Christian bathes in,” insists the learned and celebrated Dr. Anthony T. Tony Evans. “He has the mindset, motivation and methodology of sin.”

Christians who bathe in sin? Is repentance and self denial optional to salvation? According to Dr. Evans the answer is “yes.” There are “saints who act more sinful than sinners,” insists Dr. Evans “even though they are on their way to heaven.” Whether a professing Christian is murderous, denies Christ or even adopts Satan’s lifestyle Dr. Evans promises paradise to the unrepentant. The apostle Paul might question Dr. Evans in this manner: “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?” (Rom 6:16).

Are you wondering how to make the Internet safe for your kids? You want them to use the Internet for research, but you don’t want them to find objectionable sites or emails.

Perhaps you’d like to buy a solution that you can use on your computer that will not allow them to look at objectionable sites, yet will allow them to freely browse.

I have to tell you that there is no solution like that. These filter programs, such as NetNanny, look for a list of objectionable words in the site your child has chosen to visit. Simple words such as “leg” can raise the alarm and cause a headache, while regular research on breast cancer might be blocked.
