Philosophy

I was reminded of philosophy while reading the Psalms last night.

"The one who states his case first seems right,
until the other comes and examines him"
Psalm 18:17

My philosophy professor likes to give us logically sound arguments for philosophical ideas that are completely anti-Christian. We try to find faults in the argument but fail. What then? Another philosopher finds a fault in the argument and makes a case for the exact opposite.

The same happens with great philosophically based theological arguments.

And so the cycle continues. One man presents his case, another examines him and finds fault.

Let love flow

Let love flow freely
Like a mighty river
Crashing over rocks and trees.

Let love flow freely
Eroding the edges of pain,
Softening the blows of life.

Let love flow freely
Erasing the foul stench
Of stagnant emotion.

Let love flow freely
Washing away the stain of sin,
Purging the dirt from the soul.

Let love flow freely
Let it roll over your fellowmen,
Open the gates and let it in,
Lift the dam and pour it out,
Let love flow freely.
