the Way, the Truth, and the Life

To go with the flow is ever so easy and to stay in the current is but no hard task, once caught, you try hard to jump out, only after your eyes have opened at last But for many the choice is not made, carelessly accepting where the current goes, for the current is so strong, it can't be wrong, at least this is what was thought to be so No attempt is made to understand, only excepting what they feed you through their hands, what if there were another? this hand outstretched with all the power from a Father Many have gone by Him down the river, many have simply gone under and drowned, their expressions of pleasure for the moment have failed to notice Him standing on the side, crowned What if the Truth was held out to help you, would you allow Him to have a chance? do all the questions seem so overwhelming, as if they were there to counter act this Son of Man? Since they are, you might as well forget them, for they have no purpose in His kingdom, because no matter how fast that curren

Barry Bonds and his steroid episode have raised some very important questions, the obvious being the steroid question. But with all this ruckus comes many different viewpoints from different sports writers and as well as regular columnists. What I have found to be particularly counter intuitive is the common premise out there that says that Major League Baseball has as much responsibility if not more for Barry's steroid usage.

I couldn't help but realize for the first time after listening to this argument what the writers ideal wo

As an avid reader, I must confess that my viewpoint and ability to argue an argument is not as up to par as I would prefer it to be. With that, I can't help shake, from time to time, all the argumentation over theological matters in Christianity that I run into. I see both view points and I understand even where they are coming from, but isn't it better to have an actual Truth rather then a debate? Unfortunately that is not possible on this broken world, that is to not have debate, not that Truth is not floating around in the midst of it all. So whether you identify yourself as emerging, conservative, protestant, catholic, Episcopal, Baptist or anything else under the umbrella of modern Christianity, I'd love to agree with you, but..... ....What are we all basing this off of? I read arguments that at the end sound as though the sins that you are being saved from once believing in Jesus are only sins that you consider to be sinful. As strange as that sounds, I must ask those
