Pray for people like Chris Matthews.
I was an atheist and evolutionist before I was a Christian, and I enjoyed scoffing at Christians for what I regarded as their silly superstition.
It’s amazing what God can do to the transformed heart.
Thanks for the reminder.
Oh I’m praying for Chris Matthews, just as I pray for 0bama-lama-ding-dong, I’m praying that if they don’t mend their ways and repent, that God will light their asses up with some major league lightning bolts.
You ain’t been zotted until GOD zots you!
Of everything I’ve read today, your post is the most significant. Converting the wicked heart of Adamic man is the crux and kernel of the crises facing us today.
I actually did just that this morning for the first time since I don’t know when. I’ve been struggling with my feelings of apathy towards our enemies on the left. The Lord lead me to do it.
Paul comes immediately to mind -- followed by each of us to some degree, if we are honest. In almost every endeavor, radical converts often make the most ardent and effective advocates. When one becomes convinced of his error, he sees things more acutely than others who might never have questioned the truth. The ability to believe is a gift from God. Pray for the scoffers, indeed.
AMEN!
And welcome home! :)

I am. I pray that the God of the Troglodytes turns Chris Matthews into a cinder with a lightning bolt.
The problem with Matthews is that he’s completely insane. One day he claims to be a Catholic and the next day he’s extolling atheism. He’s a complete nut.
It reminds me of the guy who recently met Matthews in an airport and told him he was a Tea Party member. Matthews began singing the praises of the Tea Party while his wife (”My Queen”) looked on puzzled as hell. He’s not at all a “centered” person.

As a life-long Christian, the “superstitious” aspects of the New Testament were secondary to Christ’s spoken message. I realized early on that it was a futile exercise to intellectually deconstruct the miracles.
Belief is a funny thing. Even something the honest secularist should admit as being occasionally miraculous.
It’s awesome you turned to Christianity. Regardless of the venue, Christianity is the ultimate gift of liberty.
