Verses from today

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything in this category but had to share some of my reading from this morning:

So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God. – Phil 1:9-11

referring to those who preach Christ for other motives:

So how am I to respond? I’ve decided that I really don’t care about their motives, whether mixed, bad, or indifferent. Every time one of them opens his mouth, Christ is proclaimed, so I just cheer them on! – Phil 1:18

…regardless of whether I live or die. They didn’t shut me up; they gave me a pulpit! Alive, I’m Christ’s messenger; dead, I’m his bounty. Life versus even more life! I can’t lose. – Phil 1:20-21

Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ. Let nothing in your conduct hang on whether I come or not. Your conduct must be the same whether I show up to see things for myself or hear of it from a distance. Stand united, singular in vision, contending for people’s trust in the Message, the good news, not flinching or dodging in the slightest before the opposition. – Phil 1:27…

Switch to Huckabee.com

LOVE THIS!

The Mike Huckabee campaign is using YouTube and grassroots more and more everyday. Voters are being encouraged to upload their own videos saying why they’re switching to Mike Huckabee.

From the campaign:

Some have called it the rise of a dark horse, others a stunning political phenomena. We simply call it: the Huckaboom.
Now you can join the increasing number of people who are making the switch and becoming a part of this growing national surge.
Now more than ever American voters are beginning to make the Switch to Huckabee. They may come from different backgrounds, different professions, different walks of life but their choice for president is resoundingly unanimous. These are their stories. These are their words.
Now we want to hear yours.
Everyday Americans voicing their reasons to believe in Mike Huckabee
Think you don’t have a voice in American politics? Think again.

Check out the current videos, they have a feel of those Apple ads I love where people switch from PC to Apple.

How do you define conservative?

The GOP candidates are struggling to find a clear leader in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Rudy’s been in the lead since the beginning but Mike Huckabee is within striking distance now.
The fight seems to be over who can out-conservative their opponents.
My question to you – how do you define conservative?
Whether your a conservative or not – how do you define a political conservative? how do you define a political liberal?
