The personal thoughts, opinions and typos of Ron Shank
A thought from my quiet time this morning. I’m reading and enjoying “Because We Love Him” by (Clyde Cranford). In it a line, “In our society we see very little of this [suffering for Christ’s sake] because Christians are so much like the world.”
Ouch.
He’s right. The church today – but more importantly >> I am < < much more like the world than I care to be. Lord, set me apart, for your Glory.

Get your Tivo set…

It can not be said enough.. You have to protect your children from these folks.
1. No computers in the bedroom. Keep any computer hooked to the Internet in a public room like a den or something.
2. Get a filter. Try BSafe Online’s filter free for 10 days. (yes, I used to work for them, but I get nothing for recommending the product, and I recommended it before, during and after my employment.). If you don’t like their filter, I don’t care, but get one you do like. Good reviews at www.moralmetric.com
3. Know what your kids are doing online. There is never any reason for them to go in a public chat room – and Instant messaging should only be with friends they already have – not for making new one.
4. Don’t let them fill out a profile. It only works as pervert-bait.
Another great quote from a book I’m reading, Because We Love Him – Embracing a Life of Holiness:
With every sin comes the saddest of all consequences: the tradgedy of what might have been had we obeyed God.
How would you answer the question: Have you committed your life to Christ?
I don’t want to get bogged down in symantics but this was pretty powerful to me.
Press play to begin clip.
