Spiritual Plagiarism

November 25, 2013

When I teach English composition, I require students to write in class. I know that in-class writing is their own work, so in this way I become familiar with each student’s writing voice and am able to detect if they “borrow” a bit too heavily from another writer. Students are surprised to learn that their writing voice—which includes what they say as well as how they say it—is as distinctive as their speaking voice. Just as the words we speak come from our hearts, so do the words we write. They reveal who we are.

We become familiar with God’s voice in much the same way. By reading what He has written, we learn who He is and how He expresses Himself. Satan, however, tries to make himself sound like God (2 Cor. 11:14). By using God’s words in a slightly altered fashion, he comes up with convincing arguments for things that are untrue. For example, by convincing people to do things that simulate godliness, such as trusting in an outward regimen of self-discipline rather than Christ’s death for salvation (Col. 2:23), Satan has led many astray.

God went to extremes to make sure we’d recognize His voice. He not only gave us His Word, He gave us the Word made flesh—Jesus (John 1:14)—so that we will not be easily deceived or misled.

Instill within my heart, dear Lord,
A deep desire to know Your Word,
I want to learn to hear Your voice
That I may make Your will my choice. —D. DeHaan
Your Word is very pure; therefore Your servant loves it. —Psalm 119:140

It’s going be sunny and warmer on Thanksgiving but the nights will be in the 20s..I’ll not complain as rain is unlikely then. I cannot recall a week like this in November.
Enjoy your warm Florida!

Happy Monday, Everyone.I had hoped to post an Opening today, but Alas... I left my laptop at home and all of my stuff isn’t on Jr’s. I’m tired of trying.

Time to catch the shuttle. Marissa is extra hyper this morning.

Wishing everyone a Blessed week. I’ll be back Thursday.

Hugs to all from the Happiest Place in California!

Cold, snowy and windy here in WI.
I shoveled a drift away from the garage door. No it was not fun. LOL.

Yes, it’s also been too cold here. It was near zero at night this weekend. We don’t usually get that until later in the winter.

Once again a Blessed message from Our Daily Bread.

Thank You for today’s message and your continuing ministry.

We had our house painted over the weekend. We are really pleased with the work our painters provided. The weekend before they patched all the cracks in the stucco and prepped everything for the following weekend.

Had a Dr appointment with my VA Hearing specialist and will be getting new hearing aids in Dec and a new blue-tooth connected to the hearing aids.

Also had an annual check-up with my VA doctor last week. Passed all my Lab Tests from the week before and ready to move forward into the New Year.

We are having A Great Family Gathering on Thanksgiving Day with family from Oregon and Long Beach, CA.

Blessings to all here at Amy’s Place for a Blessed Thanksgiving Weekend.

May Our LORD provide Many Blessings to all our families!
