Comments for A Puritan at Heart

Comment on The power of Spirit-filled preaching by Pastor Al

Pastor Al — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 20:16:58 +0000

Bunyan writes to his readers in the conclusion of the first part of The Pilgrim’s Progress: Now reader, I have told my dream to thee,/ See if thou canst interpret it to me,/ Or to thyself or neighbour: but take heed/ Of misinterpreting; for that instead/ Of doing good, will but thyself abuse:/ By misinterpreting evil ensues.

2Timothy 2:15
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Dear beloved, my heart and prayers are now with you. I just found you today looking for links to John Flavel. I wanted to share some profitable links with some young friends on facebook.

My website is not up and running yet. I am still in the firey stages of trial like you are, though my trials cannot compare to yours.

I know you have probably been given much advice about your illness, but I pray that God will impress on your heart that my suggestion is from Him. Please check out Reliv Nutrition. This is not something that promises to cure but to help your body in it s fight against disease. I would love to talk to you about this and connect you with others who have gotten incredible results with this food. It is food! patented food! The story of the scientist who discovered and formulated the first product is a glory to God.

I leave you in God’s Hands. He does comfort us in ways “only His loved ones know.”

Yours, for His Glory,
Linda Crutchfield

humility is everything. When we place outselves above others, we lose everything.

Comment on Riches and Poverty by thenonconformer

(Psa 49:1 KJV) Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

It too has been my sad personal experiences that too many people find false reasons, even supposedly Christian persons in supposedly Christian churches, to feel superior over the others.. and it generally seems to be like this

-those people who never were or are not sick, are more spiritual than those who are or have been sick
-the people married are superior over those divorced, or single
-the people how have children are superior over those who do not
-the people who have a home, car are superior now as well over those who do not have them
-the people who are members of a church are superior to those who are not
-the people who are rich are superior over those who are not
-the people who are educated are superior over those who are not

etc

(Mat 18:1 KJV) At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

(Mat 18:4 KJV) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

(1 Sam 2:7 KJV) The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

(Job 34:19 KJV) How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

(Prov 10:15 KJV) The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

(Prov 13:7 KJV) There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

(Prov 14:20 KJV) The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

(Prov 18:23 KJV) The poor useth entreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

(Prov 22:16 KJV) He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

(Prov 28:6 KJV) Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

(Prov 28:11 KJV) The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

(2 Cor 8:9 KJV) For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

(James 2:5 KJV) Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

(James 2:6 KJV) But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

(Rev 3:17 KJV) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Comment on Respect and honour towards women in New England by Chuck

Chuck — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:03:19 +0000

David, thank you.

Of course, to use “they” as a singular pronoun (as is often done) is silly. It’s interesting that “they” is feminine; I didn’t know that. But it raises a question: What should we use for a mixed group (3rd person)?

Also, with respect to the singular, are you saying we should always use “he” as the default?

Thanks again.

Comment on Respect and honour towards women in New England by David R. McCrory

David R. McCrory — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:52:17 +0000

Chuck, that’s right. We have capitulated to feminism through the defaulted use of feminine gender pronoun usage. Situations in which gender is unknown or netural used to always default back to the masculine form of the noun.

This is particularly true in the usage of “they” (f) in mixed company. “They” is a feminine noun. It is a subtle yet important distinction.

You may well be correct that it has its roots in feminism, as its quite common today too, to hear of God referred to as a “she” or such as some new “bible” translations, go on to make a genderless God.

Comment on Respect and honour towards women in New England by Chuck

Chuck — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:32:50 +0000

In the last few decades, the default singular personal pronoun has become feminine: “When a philosopher undertakes to investigate the nature of naturalism, SHE must deal with W.V.O. Quine.” I have been unable to get on board with this move from the male (or both–”he or she”) to the female pronoun in my academic writing, because I have sensed a feminist agenda in it.

Today’s quote represents the only way I can imagine this practice’s possibly being justified.

Does anyone have an opinion on the matter?

Chuck
