why am i a christian?

This was the topic in catechism last night and it was really thought provoking.

One of the things we talked about that stood out to me was this: (put into my own words)

What can we learn from the OT? If nothing else we can see this, that many of the people we call heroes lacked faith and sinned like crazy, but God still loved them. Look at Sampson, he isn't exactly the type of guy we would want in our church. David commited something we pretend doesn't happen. But God forgave them and used them, and we look up to them as examples. We are just the same as these "heroes". We sin and lack faith. But by God's grace, were are His children, His chosen people. God loves us.

i learned something...

...i don't know anything about photography...

but i had fun with my new camara.

murdered babies

psalm 94.

They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage...
They slay the widow and the stranger,
and murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, "The Lord does not see, nor does the God of Jacob understand."
... He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?

Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn innocent blood.

But the Lord has been my defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.

yup
