Mary Did You Know?
Mary Did You Know?
By Mark Lowry
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new
This child that you delivered will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod
When you kiss your little baby you’ve kissed the face of God
The blind will see the deaf will hear and the dead will live again
The lame will leap the dumb will speak the praises of the Lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb
This sleeping child you’re holding is the great I AM
This is one of my all time favorite songs.

Did God Create Evil? & Thoughts on Calvinism
Thanks to Rose for the head's up on this excellent blog post on Dr. McArthur's Theodicy.
I think John R.'s comments on Calvinism are excellent. And, I certainly understand his concern with the idea that God created evil, but I do believe He did. God is the only one who can create, right? Though, I do not believe God is the cause of evil. I believe the cause lies within the freewill and natural causes of God's creation.
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:I've heard other theologians try to explain how evil came about and that it is merely the opposite of obedience to God. It is the negative of the positive. But that just doesn't ring true to me.
Could I be wrong?
What Does It Mean To Be Dead?
Here is what I think to be a most excellent exposition on the biblical term "dead in sin".

Geico Caveman Commercials: Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?
I love these Geico commercials. The guys who play the cavemen are great at expressing their feelings with just a look, an inflection and body language. It's been fun to learn these characters' personalities with each "episode." This series is simply brilliant. I think the people who hate these commercials simply do not understand them.
These are my favorites so far. For some reason I can't get the parameters to copy so here are the links.
The Apology
The Airport
The Party
