Shoot, you could have just written a few words in large, bold, flaming red text, poasted a picture of Nimrod carrying a supposed Christmas tree, waxed eloquently on Ishtar and Santa Claus, and blamed the thunderstorm Dallas had the other night on George W. Bush reading one of C.S. Lewis' satanic books, then denying that you really meant any of that stuff. After the past couple of days, I'm used to reading posts like that.
Ah ha! So that storm was YOUR doing eh? All I know Dallas, is faith is an amazing thing. We do things in accordance with the faith we have been given and I think in proportion to it. Giving in the Spirit of the Lord is always a good work because it is an exercise of faith...even little things like socks (and I shouldn't even call that faith little), as long as it is given freely in the Spirit of Truth and not some other spirit or for the sake of any ceremony or tradition that only seems to be true. Otherwise the tradition begins to rule the heart and mind to give and not the Lord himself.
