that needful sacrifice

I have added a links page. Rather than have a Blogroll (in the sidebar) I want to inculde articles, books, and the like that I have found helpful. SO go and check it out!

I have been thinking about this scene.

I dislike the divide in Christianity of liberal, progressive, charismatic, pentecostal, conservative, traditionalist, etc. (Basically because I do not understand them.) Any group thinks it is the future by bringing the past into the present. But in the end are they all just interpretations? And so a party needs to come to power to have its worldview become dominate?

So the takeaway for me: it is not about belonging to a particular group or party! It is about being authentic in everything I do and say.

I was thinking about this quote today:

Kant was an interesting individual. Yet the above is, I think, a sound principle. I know that I have often felt like a “means to an end” for people – which, alas, I have allowed myself to be so the fault lies with me. And, I cannot control others but only myself.

So for today’s reflection:

DO I use people for the sole purpose of achieving something else?
