Links to things I’ve read recently
You should not assume that I agree with everything said in these articles but I did find them thought provoking.

Links to books I’ve recently started
I usually have about 15 books going at once. These are ones that I have started in the last week. I often reread books that I find enlightening. I obviously don’t agree with every statement in these books. Often, I find books written by those without any Christian faith to be very stimulating as they are addressing issues that are faced by all people.
I did not start any new books this weeks.

I read the article on the sin of “Cynosism” and found it inadequately defined. A Google search clarified it’s meaning for me: “suspecting ulterior motives in the actions of another.” A presumably false suspicion.. I could relate to having been influenced by several of the
“Causes”. Victory over most, still struggle with some.
I see a significant difference, however in cynicism and “discerning the spirits,” though they may look and sound very much the same.
We are living thru a time of great deception. It is invading the Church. I don’t see myself as a cynic, but as a disciple of Christ who is heeding his warnings. It’s not cynasim if the deception and manipulation are real.
Just a thought
And thank you for sharing what you read. I never get to read everything because of my own reading. I wish I knew how to build a similar platform to yours for my self. My gifts are centered in science and medicine, not history; but I would like to influence those things from a Biblical worldview.
Love you guys and miss you. Give move to your bride.
Kelly…Thank you very much… Excellent insights…Bob
