Pondering Predestination
Posted by Chris Taylor on January 21, 2009
I’ve been pondering predestination.
I don’t like the idea and I freely admit it.
Something unique struck me today as I was working on a study of 2 Samuel 24, and 1 Chronicles 21. (David’s census and the punishment of Israel).
I was pondering the construct of time and what it means and I believe (perhaps incorrectly) that God opened up my mind so to speak regarding time and predestination. I know that may sound arrogant, but I don’t mean it that way, or in any mystical way really. I just don’t want to take credit for my thinking if God planted the idea…I hope that makes sense.
Read on if interested.

Friendship and Betrayal
Posted by Chris Taylor on April 15, 2008
Three men. One, a king anointed by God. The second, his son and heir. The third, a shepherd and the youngest of his father’s children. An epic story of kings and servants, anger and peace, parents and children, friends and enemies. And above all else, it is a story of love. The kind of real love that God hopes to see from all of us.
