The Irony of Gimmicks
Gimmicks. They never work.
Yet, the American is constantly on the lookout for a way to avoid effort, or so it would seem.
Hence we are a country full of enterprises promising easy fixes to any number of our problems.
Yet, we deny the easiest fix of all!
If In Doubt
There are so many among us today in the Christian world who seem to believe they have the corner on salvation.
It seems they have assigned themselves the responsibility of being the gatekeepers here on earth governing who and who will not gain entrance to heaven when they die.
These Christians among us stress and “worry” over the salvation of others using as their primary motivation Matthew 7 where Jesus talks about the narrow gate, the bearing of fruit and the false teachers and “wolves” among us.
I want to dissect this a little bit and in the event you have encountered one of these types, or perhaps even ARE one of these types, provide some of my own personal thought and insight on the topic in an effort to provide hope and assurance to anyone who now doubts their salvation.
Mesquite
The Mesquite Sand Dune Field is one of many dune fields in Death Valley National Park. It’ here I enjoy doing sunrise and sunset photography. The Mesquite Sand Dune Field is the most popular in the park due to their ease of access. This also makes landscape photography more challenging as the people are either in the shot or their footprints ruin the cohesiveness of many potential photographs. Today, I’ll show you around the area as well as share a few choice photographs I was able to capture while there n April.
Persistence Pays
There is a lesson in our adventure to find the Desert 5 Spot plant during the spring wildflower blooms we experienced.
The lesson taught was about persistence. I learned a lot about persistence and I wanted to share that with you here.
We’re Not Worthy
The mindset of our unworthiness in the sight of God troubles me.
Far too many Christians seem to practice severe self loathing and deprecating talk.
I am not sure about the right posture to actually take and how we really must think as it relates to our relationship with God.
In this post, I’d like to write out some thoughts I have related to the matter and how I believe we may want to reconsider such talk.
The Stars Humble Us
Psalm 8 mentions the night sky and the work of His fingers.
What a great chapter from which to contemplate the art of Photographing the night skies in Death Valley. In today’s post, I’ll share with you a few thoughts as well as some images recently captures of the Milky Way over the Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley.
