The Hand of God

"Praise God for the hammer, the file and the furnace.

The hammer molds us, the file sharpens us,

and the fire tempers us."

To Confront or Not To Confront?

Many of us agonize over confrontation and often ponder, when and how to confront another individual who perhaps has wounded us with their words or by their actions. Personally this is an area that I can identify with. This morning as I opened up my blog, I clicked on to Steve Camp's blog, one of my favorite ones to follow.

Here is a small sampling from Steve's most recent entry to his blog. "It is easy to swing a hammer at another Christian you might disagree with. It comes all to naturally to us. It doesn't take much effort or thought to bury someone on a blog or website. Even if we are 100% in the right, it doesn't demonstrate Christlikeness to simply wind up and let the hammer strike the anvil of the soul of another to show them how much we are right. But it does draw the readership, the hits to our site explode, and our words will spread through the blogosphere at amazing speed. And all under the noble guise of: "I am just standing up for the truth."
