A Twisted Mind

I just read Ann Coulter's article entitled, "Where's that Religious Fanatic We Elected." It was posted at her site yesterday. I like her articles. Her irreverence for social/coversational decorum is refreshing and I find myself understanding her tongue in cheek very readily.

The one thing in this article that needs to be highlighted is the disconnect that there is between her idea of "hearts and minds." She states that the hearts that are to be changed have already been changed. Ok, I'll concede to that, maybe about 85%. Then she goes on to say that it is time that we move onto the minds portion of "hearts and minds." Hear-hear Ann!!! Early she states that "maybe it's my law background, but I think it's time to change a few judges." kudos Ann...right behind you.

However......maybe it's my Biblical background but I'd like to focus on that heart and mind thingy again. The way I understand things the heart is desperately wicked and we cannot hope to know it. I am not so certain that changes of the heart matter a slim whit. Yes, of course it does, but in the overall scheme of things people are too easily persuaded when it comes to matters of the heart. I agree, go after the hearts. Make people see the horrors that attend to the snuffing out of a human heart, 35 million human hearts, but until the mind changes I'm sticking with the truth that no one can know the human heart and where it will turn.

Moving on just a bit to the changing of the mind. This is the heart of the matter. And no don't pardon the pun. When the mind changes that is when things: attending circumstances, peoples devotion to causes, laws and judges,etc., will change. Believe it or not the Christian Worldview does address the changing of the human mind...it's called repentance. That is where the battle lies in the debate on abortion. When the human repents and changes their mind about the way they have been thinking and acting toward the way in which God would have them think and act...then the battle will be won.

Ann I agree, let's change those judges and laws but please accept my tardy slip, I was busy trying to help people see the need to repent. Peace.

gotta start somewhere

I was, unknowingly, encouraged by a friend of mine to start this interchange. I do not like being a newbie but I relish the chance for something new. Although there is nothing new under the sun. I sense that this enterprise reminds of a time in life where I kept a journal but that wasn't for anyone else to see, whereas I trust that this may just be different, more like extended graffiti. We shall see as I cast my hat in the ring. Peace
