I play tennis at the Isles Yacht Club. Do you have a connection to the club or was this just a picture you found through the internet?

I really appreciate your honesty. Matthew, thanks for your constructive comment. So I have taught my kids not to say God’s name in vain… And now my 6 year old calls me out every time I say God’s name in vain. It’s not pleasing to hear my kid reminding me not to use God’s name like this BUT I do appreciate the reminder. God bless everyone!

It’s in that transparence that all of us can look at our own words we have chosen and with God’s help, decipher, “What exactly did I mean and how did the other person translate those words to mean?” Sometimes they can differ. All of us have dealt with this at one time or another. Funny how kids can test us to our limits on patience (I am saying this with complete understanding, I have 4 of them, 7 and under)! God brings glory out of my daily weaknesses. Thank you!

So here it is. Both sides are 100 percent right, Both sides are the truth to the best of each ability. Which calls all the more priority into the scripture. Given time in thought about this matter I think you can see it this way as well. Keep in mind both sides also can benefit from the others point of view but we don’t ever seem to see things this way.
Now given, for the sake of argument that we’re dealing with two truths, instead of right and wrong. Don’t we owe it to Christ to follow him instead of being defensively sided and crack a door for satan to sneak in and spread his discontent, confusion and corruption. Simplicity will shut Satan down in a heart beat. Love you all and um…. My yes means yes by the way,

We humans are so funny. I’m glad you inject some of that humor into your reflections. Humor is a good thing (which like swearing can also be used inappropriately). Keep up the good writing.

Do we have a case of “relativism” here?

Mark
