      That's almost as bad as voting for Obama because he was black.

      Please remove my name from the nomination list. I've already been so honored once.

      I already told myself I would next month if he doesn't win this month. I had already nominated somebody else.

      So all of the nominees got voted for once? I'm not sure this experiment worked too well, or how I ended up getting nominated.

      No, evidently some of them received multiple votes - the vote total is higher than the number of nominees. However, the period set was longer than the reset period so some people did vote twice (and for themselves - I wanted to see if I could ). So, yeah, needs considerable work.

      But to have ten joint winners out of sixteen candidates? That seems a little unlikely, doesn't it?

      Only in a system that is working fairly. In one that's all messed up, seems perfectly normal.

      Complaints should be pm'd to Chris - frequently. He likes lots of reminders!*

    Opening Thoughts On The Silence Of God

    Where is He?

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows

    "Why do I not hear from God?" Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    A reader yesterday suggested one cause of emotional doubt is the silence of God. Indeed, I had been planning on getting to that topic, but since it has been brought up, I might as well get to it. However, this is going to take more than one post. Therefore, consider this just a start to the topic and in fact, one I'm planning on writing a whole lot more on elsewhere.

    To begin with, the reason this is such a large problem I suspect is because of a misnomer in the church. In our individualistic society, we have made it so that God... read more

    He isn’t here – He’s in you!

    As of this date Easter Sunday 2013 is just another day on the calendar, or is it? (Please give me a moment so I can get up on my Soap Box.) I continue to see pictures of Jesus dying on the cross or pictures that depict the horrific events leading up to his death on the cross yet scenes of Jesus’ resurrection are few and far between. As important as Jesus’ death is to each of us it is what God did with Jesus’ death that lies at the Heart and Goal of God. (Okay I am stepping off my Soap Box now.)

    The angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross. He isn't here! God has raised him... read more

    So Great Sin

    Does the grace of God go that far?

    The text is as follows:

    "How can I be a Christian when I have so much sin in my life?" Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Some friends of Deeper Waters in my last blog commented on how many Christians question their salvation because of sin in their lives. They're entirely correct. Now we know we all have sin in our lives, which is an important point to keep in mind, but what about the person who struggles repeatedly with a sin and goes to bed at night saying "Tomorrow, I'll do better" and then wakes up saying "Today, I will do better" and yet before too long, what are they doing? They're... read more

    The Sanctuary of God’s PEACE…

    “I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit--not a brute strength but a glorious inner strength-- that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in...” (Ephesians 3:16-17 MSG)

    When we think of sanctuaries we normally think of structures where we can worship or feel safe. When violent storms are coming down on us we are advised to seek the sanctuary of a storm shelter. In early 1960’s people were building bomb shelters on their property so they could seek sanctuary in the event of a nuclear war. When our spirits are weakened because of the constant struggles with the “powers and principalities of this world” we find ourselves... read more

    The Journey of the Resurrection

    The journey of the Resurrection began long ago as Adam and Eve first gained knowledge of good and evil and with their expulsion from the Garden of the Creator. It is a journey that would remain hidden for thousands of years behind the faces and lives of those who would deny God’s rightful place in their lives. Hidden until one fateful night in another Garden. A Garden called Sacrifice. A Garden called Surrender. A Garden called Love. A Garden called Gethsemane where Jesus powered by his love for each one of us surrendered and offered his life as a sacrifice. A few days later he died and the gateway to the journey of the Resurrection swung open... read more

    Salvation Doubt

    Is it keeping you up at night?

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows:

    Did you pray the right prayer? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    One of the worst kinds of emotional doubt a Christian can go through is the doubt over their salvation. Many a Christian has gone through this and are relieved to find that it is a common doubt in fact. (Yes. Even I have gone through this kind of doubt and in fact am glad I did since it ultimately got me into apologetics.)

    Gary Habermas has said he's collected statistics from people on how many times they've prayed the prayer. Top place goes to a lady who prayed for her salvation over 5,000 times. Second place went to... read more

    Got Faith?

    This morning Glory Seed contains edited portions from Prayer Journal if you journal you know journal’s are private and should not be shared with anyone else. However, there have been a few times when the Holy Spirit prompts me to share what I’ve written in my journal this morning is one of those rare occasions.

    I believe at times all we really need to keep our spirits up and give us a little hope is to see some forward positive progress. Having said that with you as our God and as long as you are living through us there is always forward positive progress no matter if we can see it or not. I know this is nothing new to me but I can feel the Holy Spirit... read more

    The text is as follows:

    What is a sign of emotional doubt? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Imagine you're a Christian with some background in apologetics. Now you have someone who is coming to you who's also a Christian and is doubting and you present a case to them and make it clear throughout that this is where the overwhelming evidence leads. The person you're trying to help agrees that all that evidence is extremely strong, but ah, here comes the objection.

    "But what if?"

    This person isn't disputing all the evidence you've brought forward. They have no argument against it. There's just this... read more
