Study with Sara-A Beautiful Leopard

Passage Jeremiah 13:23 Ampl.
“Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also can you do good who are accustomed and taught [even trained] to do evil.”

Do you think that we have practiced an evil for so long that it is impossible to do good?

Do you think rebellion or stubbornness is just so enjoyable and fulfilling that we do not want to do good?

Do you think we may have practiced telling lies for so long that it just comes so easy for us that we have no conscious thoughts of truth, or even a desire to tell truth? Rev. 22:13-17…”outside the gates will be whosoever loves and practices a lie.”

What about other habitual habits we have practiced and have no desire to give up? We justify them no matter what?

Biographer: Einstein Struggled with God

Voices: Walter Isaacson Says Physicist’s Religious Beliefs Informed His View of Science

April 8, 2007 — – Walter Isaacson, the biographer of Ben Franklin and Henry Kissinger, is tackling Albert Einstein in his new book, “Einstein: His Life and Universe.” According Isaacson, Einstein, arguably the greatest scientist of the 20th century, struggled with God.

Essay…from my Journal of pain

It all started on a cold winter day;
as I sat together with my church family in a restaurant planning a spiritual retreat. All at the table were involved to some degree; or so it seem to me. I had started to believe that heaven was pleased, but maybe it was just me!

In the suburbs of New Orleans on the Northshore sat a newly constructed two-story middle school. In its newness, it out shone the schools around it. It was one of the first two story schools constructed in the area and had a modern look at the time of a glass front entrance and to the left side of the entrance glass sections that protruded outwards in a convex fashion running up the height of the building.

Passage John 1:5 KJV
St. John said, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

How could it be possible that darkness DID NOT COMPREHEND LIGHT?
Is this still possible today?
Would this light be a point of reference for our work?
Can or should light be COMPREHENDED?
How does this statement make you feel? Does it have an affect on you?
