For a better life and a better eternity
As I’ve always said, “Original just means forgetting who I got it from.” I’ve forgotten who I first heard that from. Actually, no I haven’t. Harold Comer was the first person I ever heard say that. But apparently a lot of my friends forgot they heard that from him, because I hear it repeated frequently. But I digress.
Wow!
What a game on Monday night, huh? Exciting.
What a victory for Alabama. I was so excited for them. It must feel so good to put such a victory under their belt.
Wait?! What’s that you are saying? Alabama didn’t win? But they had more points for 58 minutes of a 60 minute game. Surely that counts for something. They led the score for much longer than Clemson did. Surely that should matter more than what happened in the last few seconds of the game.
Week two of 2017. How are you doing on your resolutions?
Jim Gaffigan’s take on resolutions to work out seems to be the norm for most of us on just about any resolution.

I gotta let my muscles breathe a little. I’ll work out every other day.” And then the next day I’m like, “Nah, I’m happy with the way I look. I don’t want to get caught up in that beauty culture.”

I’d like to share a story with you. I warn you it is tragic and has no happy ending. But it is important. Sadly, I’ve seen this story play out again and again, though with different details. And admittedly, this is a compilation of multiple stories with some dramatic license taken on my part. Names have been changed to protect the innocent (and keep from shaming the guilty). You probably know these people or some like them.

As we consider all of our fears about being accused of teaching Calvinism, we finally get to the other tip of the TULIP: Perseverance of the Saints. Since we all know saints need to persevere, I think few of us will get too worked up about talking about saints persevering. However, it is very easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater as we fear someone might think we are Calvinists. So, let’s examine the third alternative regarding this tenet as well. Keep reading to find out more.
