Awaiting dropped shoes

Some who have visited here who have gotten to know me a bit through my posts on Michael's Christian Conservative blog, http://christianconservative.blogspot.com may have been waiting for the real Doug to show up here, the argumentative, hardline Christian sarcastic yahoo who is so vociferous on Michael's site. I can be all of those things when debating someone, arguing against somone else's ideas that I find faulty. But if not antagonized, if instead of arguing I can simply state my thoughts, this blog here shows more of how I identify myself. I am only a child of God, and if I am not busy refuting anti-Christian thinking, I love to worship my God, read His Word, and share it with others.
Jesus Himself was caring and loving to those seeking Him, but could be downright harsh with those opposing His ministry and life. The God who Loves is also the God who Judges, and though I am very happy to leave the judging to God, I am also very happy to be of service, countering those who are mistaken, refuting those who are tossing up all sorts of reasons why God cannot be,
and standing by His Spirit in spiritual warfare. It almost seems strange to see the term spiritual warfare in print, as Satan would love to have knowledge of it it's existence forgotten-but there is a war going on, and we who are His children are called into service.
God Bless you for stopping by.

le, I guess kindler would work, too, as someone who kindles. On this blog I will focus more on the positives which come with living a life for Christ, but already I have posted my feelings about what goes on in the world in my post, Demetrius and the Liberals.
Looking inward with Peace leads me to look outward with understanding at a very negative world, and causes me to speak against the negativity there. And still I smile, we smile, and know that there is more to this world than just negativity. Jesus is Lord, and we couldn't find a better Master.
