SCC is a Rookie (in blogosphere, that is)

Rodney wrote a posting about a new kid on the blog: SCC. Yes, that's the one and only Steven Curtis Chapman! So of course I wanted to be the first Dutch blogger to leave a friendly comment on one of his first blog entries. Just to encourage him - for a change...

Paul said...: Hey, good to hear from you, Dean! And thanks for the compliment. I used the new Windows Vista PowerPoint software to create the BUT A POOR REFLECTION picture. And I am happy with the black background too. Now my words full of light really stand out ;-)
I always keep an eye on your blog - may the Lord continue to bless you. (I'm sure He will); 7/17/2007 10:10 pm
Anonymous said...: Paul, I tried to give you a pretty little link, but nothing would work, and since my knowledge base on how to do such a thing is sooo limited, it was pretty hopeless at the time.

I will try what you said, but I didn't understand a thing about it. :(; 7/17/2007 10:44 pm

God loves us

Have you ever wondered why God gives so much? We could exist on far less. He could have left the world flat and grey; we wouldn’t have known the difference. But he didn’t. He splashed orange in the sunrise and cast the sky in blue. And if you love to see geese as they gather, chances are you’ll see that too. Did he have to make the squirrel’s tail furry? Was he obliged to make the birds sing? And the funny way that chickens scurry or the majesty of thunder when it rings? Why give a flower fragrance? Why give food its taste? Could it be he loves to see that look upon your face?

I do not condemn theologians wholesale, but it is unfortunately the fashion in Western thinking to doubt and deny everything. I protest this tendency. I never advise anyone to consult theologians, because all too often they have completely lost all sense of spiritual reality. They can explain Greek words and all that, but they spend too much time among their books and not enough time with the Master in prayer. It is not that I oppose all education, but education without life is certainly dangerous. You must stop examining spiritual truths like dry bones! You must break open the bones and take in the life-giving marrow.

Oswald Chambers

In the Bible clouds are always associated with God. Clouds are the sorrows, sufferings, or providential circumstances, within or without our personal lives, which actually seem to contradict the sovereignty of God. Yet it is through these very clouds that the Spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith. If there were never any clouds in our lives, we would have no faith. "The clouds are the dust of His feet" (Nahum 1:3). They are a sign that God is there. What a revelation it is to know that sorrow, bereavement, and suffering are actually the clouds that come along with God! God cannot come near us without clouds— He does not come in clear-shining brightness. (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, July 29th)
