Today's Verse: Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) --- so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Whatever God declares will come to pass.

Today's Comments: The Word of God is absolute truth. God is immutable; what He declares does not change. We can't change God. We can only change ourselves. And, we can only truly change ourselves with the gift of His grace. To think anything else is foolish.

I can't help but think about the current delusional attitude of the Episcopal Church in the United States. On Oprah, a priest, who I believe was Ed Bacon, the rector at All Saints in Pasadena, proclaimed that homosexuality was a gift from God. Paul, in fact tells us that, because of man's separation from God that began at the fall of Adam, we have been deluded by our own corruption into committing unnatural acts because of unnatural lusts. A gift from God? No. Homosexuality, in my mind, is the result of our own depravity. Should we ignore Paul and listen to Ed Bacon? I don't think so. The Bible is God's word that is revealed to us. We should not ignore it, because, eventually, what God says will come to pass.
