Art Is. An old joint from 2003 that I recently re-discovered..

 Art is subjective
         Art is objective
            Art can objectify
               Art can glorify
            Art is political
         Art can be Spiritual
Art is Alive

Art moves, takes different shapes and grows. Art breathes and gives the breath of life.
   Art can speak volumes, in total silence, yet says a thousand different things to a thousand different people

      Art is everywhere, though some try to contain it in ugly buildings and make you pay to see it.
         Art tends to show up in the strangest places.
             Art is young, yet old.
   Art practices situational ethics, becoming different things at different times, making statements that change with its surroundings

Art is Wisdom Art has heart. Art keeps its fingers on the pulse of the world. Art is too complex for me to understand, yet simple enough for my daughter to grasp in her little hands.

Art is love and is loved, Art is hate and is hated. Art is a walking contradiction, and Art would have it no other way.

Art allows itself to be defined and categorized, in order to help you understand, (or so you think). Art defies conventions, exceeds expectations, prompts speculation, and destroys traditions (though Art itself can be traditional).

I am an Artist, but I do not understand Art, and Art is cool with that.

Examining the tithe

Blessings to you dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to read the following. It is my prayer that it will edify, and bring clarity, and provoke thought and a closer walk with our Savior. Please note that wherever scripture is quoted, it is taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) In His service, Pastor.ctj One of the most heavily debated doctrines of the modern church is the doctrine of the tithe. Many Christians generally accept that the law of tithing, as other Jewish laws, was abolished upon Jesus' crucifixion, when he fulfilled the Old Testament law. For the most part, Christians do not follow Jewish community laws such as the extensive dietary restrictions in the Old Testament, for example, and tithing was part of that group of laws. Others believe that because Jesus spoke about tithing, he was instructing his followers to continue the practice, and for many, not only is the tithe still an active doctrine, it is proof of one’s commitment to God.

The Lie of "Judge Not" Part I

By Pastor CT Jermin The following is a transcript from the December 10, 2009 edition of my show on blogtalkradio.com called 'A New Day For You' We are egalitarian when it comes to truth, but elitist when it comes to people, and it should be the other way around" – Dr. Ken Boa Many who preach about love, have no idea what biblical love teaches. - Dr. Ken Motto My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; - King Solomon - Prov. 3:21 Before you continue, I believe that there is something that you should know about me: I am intolerant. I am bigoted, judgmental, and Pharisaic. I am ‘deep’, unyielding, and without love. How do I know? I’ve been told/called this on the internet so it must be true. Most often, I am called this by well-meaning Christians who ‘warn me in love’ when I make comments about false doctrine, bad theology, or point out issues involving Pastors, preachers, Prophets and prophetesses and other ‘Chris
