Batel's PonderingsI write and journal a lot. So as not to take up the entire forum with such and because I'm utilizing the forum as a way to link to blog posts that ARE about the listed topics, this area is where I'll make posts that don't really fit in other forum topics.

Apologetics"Apologetics is quite literally defense of the faith; the Greek word 'apologia' means 'defense' as a lawyer gives at a trial...1 Peter 3:15 instructs the Christian apologist to ‘always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for the reason for the hope that is in you.’ Christian apologetics, according to 1 Peter 3:16, needs to be done with ‘gentleness and respect." -- Jeff Augustine, MA - Theology -

God's Appointed TimesAt Creation and throughout the rest of the Bible, one can see the appointed times that are meaningful to Him and, thus, to us. His calendar and clock operate differently than the world's. If you live according to His pace, it is a blessing -- both to Him and to us as His people.
