There's a rainbow in all of us

This is certainly a different take on the whole "Noah story" than I've ever heard. Not realizing it was about planet-care, I had always thought it was an account of how God destroyed the wicked on the earth, displaying God's holiness and intolerance of evil, and then it being a display of God's faithfulness that He keeps covenant and keeps for Himself a remnant. Meh, my mistake. I guess it's actually a story to teach us about caring for the earth and "building a better world."

Never forget, Jen: you are Noah. You just need to learn to...

(cue the raining Skittles)

...release the power of that rainbow inside of you.

I've come to the decision to rename this place- 'the skrewball'. That video is absolutely wrong! Well- I guess when your ways and thoughts are humanistic...what else should you promote.

ya know....i was thinking about my response and i sort of regret what i had to say. meaning....we/i are sure coming across pretty sarcastic as Followers of Jesus Christ towards those who don't know The Way. i am not saying what they believe in is the right way. but they don't know the Truth, which is found in our Lord. maybe we/i need to pull back in the sarcasm and gently present Jesus instead.
there are moments that i find myself being very sarcastic towards those who are liberal in their theology...who are humanistic...who are a part of a cult and so on. instead i need to speak Truth straight from scripture in the power of the Holy Spirit. when i don't speak in Love i/we drag the Lord's Name through the mud.
so...forgive me for my sarcasm....i mean this with all my heart.

NEW POST! Need a new post!

Oh, and I just realized that homosexuals' official symbol is a rainbow. Talk about flaunting the rememberance of God's judgment against homosexuality (among other sins). I just realized how twisted that is.

People just supress the truth in unrighteousness like crazy!
