RE End Times:
I’ve found myself starting to take some credence in it; I never really thought about it before, but D-One you made some wheels start turning in my head in post 108 and prior conversations we’ve had, also Gilbo’s posts as well.
Yeats was right:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
I guess its another way of saying evil men triumph when good men won’t/don’t/are too cowardly to shoot them in the head...
ultimately if our actions are grounded in HIS GLORY, its all *good* and rightfully expected that we do so...
I believe thats one of the major reasons that evil thumbs its nose at us, and why we hesistate to act, because its will take 100% certainty for a *good* man to decide that his ego isnt his motivator...
my .02 or somethin like that...
