1 John 1:8-9

If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, then you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Today, we’re going to discuss one of the greatest promises God gave us in the entire Bible. It comes from the first chapter of First John, verses eight and nine:

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

As long as we live on this earth, we will be sinners. If we remain submitted to Him though, He will conform us to the image of His Son, as we discussed last week from Romans 8:28 & 29, but that is a life-long process. We will not be perfected in this life. We will continue to be sinners by nature, and we will continue to commit sins.

So what do we do when God brings those sins to our attention? Do we grovel before Him and moan about what hopeless wretches we are? Do we ignore the sins and hope somehow to do better next time? Do we ask God for forgiveness?

No, no, and no.

Christians are not hopeless wretches. We are sinners saved by grace who are in the process of being conformed to the character of our Savior.

Neither do we bury our heads in the sand like ostriches and hope our sins will go away and we’ll do better tomorrow. Sins must be addressed.

Most Christians I know would say the answer to this is to ask forgiveness. Really? Didn’t we ask forgiveness when we were born again? And didn’t He promise forgiveness as a part of the new birth? Why would we ask for a gift of grace that’s already been given to us? That sounds like we don’t trust God or don’t believe He was really able to forgive us.

Let’s look at the passage again. “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” That would be taking the ostrich method of dealing with sin. But the passage goes on in verse nine and says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

It’s really that simple. We confess—He forgives—and, as a bonus, He takes it upon Himself to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. He knows man doesn’t have a very record at improving himself, so He takes that onus onto His own shoulders. He promises to change us for the better, to cleanse us.

What a wonderful God we have. He takes it all upon Himself, requiring nothing from us except submission to Him. Confession is evidence of that submission, and it triggers the most powerful force in the universe in our lives.

Have a New Testament passage or concept you’d like to see discussed here? Maybe something you’ve never quite understood. I’d love to hear from you about that, too. I’ll try my best to explain it.

Verb Tenses

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

This statement appeared in our local newspaper recently: Louisiana Tech’s bulldog mascot dies of heatstroke after worker left him outside. This sort of mixing of tenses drives me up a wall.

My favorite television show of recent years has been The Closer. I love the show, and I particularly love the way Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson () thinks her way through all the twists in the clues that have the rest of those around her lost in a fog. I hate the fact that this week’s episode was the last we’ll get to see of this great series.

That said, the dialog in the show frequently makes me want to scream. They’ll say something like, “He came in through the window and takes her and throws her against a wall.” Really? He entered past tense and proceeds to do things present tense.

This must result from the ignorance of the writers and not the actors, because all of them do it. I really don’t understand such glaring grammatical errors as this.

You don’t change tenses of the verbs you use in the same paragraph—much less in the same sentence. This seems so simple, but I see it violated all the time.

Our newspaper statement could have said, Louisiana Tech’s bulldog mascot dies of heatstroke after worker leaves him outside. No one would have a problem with that. Or it could have said, Louisiana Tech’s bulldog mascot died of heatstroke after worker left him outside. That would also be grammatically correct, although if it was a headline or sub-headline (I don’t remember whether it was or not) the editor probably would want it in present tense.

Remember, we must use whatever tense we start in throughout a paragraph. My father used to say, “You can’t change horses in the middle of the stream.” That same principle applies to verb tenses. We need to be consistent.

What are your pet peeves among grammatical errors? What points of grammar bother you because you’re not sure what is correct? Let me know, and I’ll try to address them.

Frustration with Simple Things

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Admittedly, I’m tech-challenged. I know it, and I don’t mind saying so. But it frequently seems to me like people make things unnecessarily difficult. Guess they enjoy watching us dummies squirm. And what’s involved in today’s subject isn’t even all that high-tech.

For at least a week now, I’ve been trying to load Heaven Sent into CreateSpace so they will make it available for purchase as a paperback. As widespread as the use of e-readers has become, they still lack a bunch covering 100% of the market. Many of my friends and family members have asked me when they can purchase a paper copy to read because they don’t have e-readers. I’m sure there are many around the world who still buy paperback books.

At first, the problem was getting my 8.5 x 11 size manuscript to fit their 6 x 9 page size. After several attempts to conform it by adjusting the margins, I finally realized I needed to change the paper size in my Word document to 6 x 9. Duh!

That change move the process along, but then I had to go through several do-overs to get the margins and gutter right. In order to leave enough margin on the right side of the left-hand pages and on the left side of the right-hand pages, I ended up increasing the margins on both sides to the point that the outer-edge margins are a bit excessive. Okay, I can live with that.

Then, I found that the cover I used for e-readers didn’t have enough dots per inch to suit CreateSpace, resulting in a blurry cover. Back to my cover designer, Steena Holmes, for a redo. She graciously provided me a new .pdf cover that fit their requirements.

That done, I found that my bio photo also needed more dpi. Since it’s from my own photo collection, I didn’t have anyone to convert it, so I had to change to another photo from a vacation. Whew!

Finally, I received CreateSpace’s blessings. They sent me a message that everything was okay to proceed.

That’s when I realized I had a beautiful front cover but a blank back cover and spine. So I asked their support desk if I could transfer my bio page from the back page of the book to the back cover. They wrote back that I could use their Cover Creator to design front and back covers and spine.

When I tried to upload my front cover, their software would not accept .pdf, which is the format of the only cover I’ve got with 300 dpi. Arrrrgh!

I had to ask Steena for help once again, which she graciously and promptly provided. She may be wondering now why she ever went into the business of designing book covers.

When I received the new image from Steena, I wondered what would go wrong next. Sure enough, the image was too large for Cover Creator, so I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager to reduce the size, but Cover Creator continues to show it full-sized, which doesn’t allow all the words to get on the cover. *Censored* I’m wondering now whether or not I’ll ever get the paperback format on the market.

Do you have trouble dealing with the technical side of writing, blogging or publishing? Surely I’m not the only dummy around. Share some of your frustrations. I love hearing from you.

Fun with Church Music

If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, then you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Brief announcement: I finally got everything submitted to CreateSpace to bring out a paperback edition of Heaven Sent. I should be announcing its availability in the next week or two.

* * * * *

The Sunday School Class I lead—uh oh, my church calls them Adult Bible Fellowships—is primarily comprised of people my age and older. There’s a lot about that that’s good, but there are disadvantages, too.

For instance, we always have to have any class fellowship activities in the daytime, because many of our members don’t like to get out at night. And when we lose members, more often than not it involves a funeral. Even if not, there always seem to be some to visit in the hospital.

Another disadvantage of dealing with our age group is that most of our people don’t appreciate contemporary Christian music. If it wasn’t in a standard hymnal at least fifty years ago, it couldn’t be worth singing. We’ve actually had people leave our church because they didn’t like the praise songs.

Recently, I came across a video that seemed to capture the essence of this problem. Listen in as Rob Mills, a music minister and Christian singer, sheds light on this serious subject.

When I emailed our class teacher the link to this video, he told me about another video he’d recently seen that he thought our class would get a kick out of hearing, so we decided to play both of them. The second one is by Andy Andrews, an author and public speaker.

Hope you enjoyed these videos. I loved them so much I just had to share them with you. Do you know some links to funny Christian videos?

Have a New Testament passage or concept you’d like to see discussed here? Maybe something you’ve never quite understood. I’d love to hear from you about that, too. I’ll try my best to explain it.

Subject and Verb Agreement

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

I recently read the following statement in a written report: Stark evidence of such killings are held in mass graves . . . Evidence are held? Really?

When I write these blogs on grammar, I frequently wonder whether schools even teach diagramming sentences these days. Whoever wrote that statement obviously had no idea how to diagram it.

The verb are is the present plural form of to be. It is to be used only when the subject of the sentence is plural.

The noun evidence is the subject of the sentence, and it is singular. It demands a singular form of whatever verb is used in the sentence. The only way it could use a plural verb is if it is paired with another noun to make a compound sentence, such as The evidence and testimony indicate . . .

Apparently the person who wrote this paired the plural verb with killings, which in this sentence is the object of the preposition of. It is certainly not the subject of the sentence, and whether there are multiple killings or just one has no bearing on the verb in the sentence.

We know that a lot of the people who read our work—probably even the vast majority—are not grammar experts. They wouldn’t know what agreement of subject and verb means. But we can’t assume no one who reads our blogs or books knows the difference. We don’t want to appear ignorant to those who do know, so it’s important that we write grammatically correct pieces.

We need to be careful that the nouns or pronouns we use as subjects of our sentences and the verbs we use in the predicates agree with each other in number.

Wordplay on a Euphemism

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Julie Glover recently wrote a blog about euphemisms for urinating. After I got through laughing at some of the examples she came up with, I recalled a time many years ago when I got a lot of laughs out of such a euphemism.

Most of my military service was at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I served as battery clerk in one of the artillery officer candidate batteries. 1967 and 1968 were busy times for the army. Vietnam was building up, and we were churning out officers at breakneck speed.

The cadre that ran our battery included a captain as battery commander, a first lieutenant as executive officer, and four second lieutenants as platoon leaders. The first sergeant and I (a Spec 5) were the only enlisted personnel in the orderly room (battery headquarters).

Although the commander and XO were a bit aloof with us peons, the platoon leaders weren’t. They frequently invited me to be a fourth for bridge or to shoot pool with them in the battalion dayroom, and I became good friends with several of them.

One time Lt. Bill Rice and Lt. Bob Johnson invited my wife and me to join them and their dates for a trip to a restaurant some twenty miles or so up into the Wichita Mountains behind the post. Since we were off duty, off post and dressed in civvies, they insisted I call them by their first names instead of “lieutenant,” as I did during the duty day.

We had a great time—talking, cracking jokes, and so forth. I think Bill was driving, and his date and Bob were in the front seat with him. Bob’s date was in the back with my wife and me.

About halfway from the restaurant back to I-44, I knew we were miles from any place to make a pit stop, so I told Bill I had to wee.

He assumed I was kidding and told me to wait until we got back, but I told him I couldn’t wait. I really needed to wee.

We argued back and forth for a couple of minutes, each of the other occupants of the car getting more and more embarrassed. Finally, Bill decided I must be having a real emergency, so he pulled over to the side of the road to let me out.

I opened the back door, stood up, and yelled, “Weeeeee!” Then I got back in the car and said, “Oh, that’s better.”

Bill and Bob both wanted to get mad at me, but they couldn’t stop laughing long enough to do so. The three women didn’t know how to react at first, but finally they all began to laugh, too.

It was days before the officers quit talking about it.

Do you have a story you can share about urinating or pretending you had to? I always love hearing from you.

You and I Can Help

If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, then you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free

CALLING ALL AUTHORS

Today, I’m interrupting my series on promises of God to bring you a special opportunity to help others in need. I’ll get back to the series next week.

On the morning of July 20th, the world was shocked to hear the news of a rampage the previous evening in a theater in Aurora, Colorado. A man had conducted an assault on theatergoers that ended with twelve people dead and fifty-nine more injured.

This obviously comes as news to no one. We’ve all heard and read countless reports of this abomination. But what about the victims and their families? Is there anything we can do?

When my friend Charity Kountz first approached me with her idea, I wasn’t sure what I thought about it. However, her enthusiasm was so overwhelming she soon had me firmly in the boat with her.

She told me she wanted to raise funds to help the victims and their families with their medical expenses, funeral expenses, and whatever other financial costs they incurred as a result of the shootings. She had a very specific idea in mind for how to do that.

It took a while for her to set up the mechanism to put her idea into practice, but she has now done that. I hope you’ll join me in helping her with this project.

Her idea is for authors—you and me and all the others we know or correspond with—to give free copies of our books as rewards for donations. For a donation of $10 or more, a person may choose a book from among those available and receive an autographed copy.

If we can generate enough interest and publicity about this, it could truly be a great success. Charity has lined up a professional fundraising organization to administer the program in return for only five per cent of the proceeds, a very low percentage as fundraising operations go.

In order for her idea to become a successful reality, we need two things to happen. First, we need many authors to donate copies of their books for prizes, and secondly, we need those authors to do anything they can to publicize the drive so the public will donate.

I’ve donated five copies of Heaven Sent. Won’t you join me?

Personal Milestone

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

I know—Fridays are supposed to be about grammar. Can I skip one day? Here’s my excuse:

In April of 2011 I posted my first blog. Today’s blog is number 200. Seems like the sort of milestone that should be celebrated, so I thought maybe we could have a party. I brought some refreshments.

     

In case you’re like me and don’t care for the taste of champagne, I’ve got some coffee in the kitchen. I’ll be glad to go get you a cup. I drink mine black, but I could probably scrounge up some cream and sugar. Sorry, no mocha frappe stuff. Never got into that.

When I first began blogging, I had to bribe a few family members to read my posts. I also knew next to nothing about how WordPress worked. Today I’ve got a few readers I don’t even have to bribe, and I’ve learned a tiny bit about WordPress. That’s progress, isn’t it?

Fortunately, several of the people in my writers’ group know a lot more about WordPress—okay, about the internet in general—than I do. They’ve been wonderful in helping me do things like put my book ad on my website, record a trailer and put it on the site and generally clean up stuff to make the site look more attractive.

Maybe I pimp my friends too much here, but can I lead one more cheer for Jillian Dodd, Charity Kountz and Nigel Blackwell? They’ve all three gone way beyond the call of friendship to help me with this. And Charity is patiently teaching (trying to teach?) me how to tag my blogs more effectively.

My all-time biggest readership was produced by my blog on “Plagiarism” last October. Some of my personal favorites are “Surrounded by Help“ on May 30th, “DFW Writers Conference” on May 23rd, “What Makes Us Love Texas” on April 11th and “Understanding Texicans” on March 2nd. Feel free to stop and go look some of these up if you’d like.

As you all know, I published my first book, Heaven Sent, a month or so ago, available now on Kindle and soon to be available on Nook and other e-readers. As a relatively unknown author self-publishing, I expected sales to be slow at the start, and I have found that expectation to be very accurate. However, I’ll be doing a blog tour soon, and I’m hoping that will stir up a bit more interest. I’m also looking at doing a print version through CreateSpace. Hope to have that put together soon, too.

Meanwhile, I’ve finished writing Fancy, the first novella in a series set in the 1860s and 1870s. I anticipate epubbing it in September and then adding the others in the series about every two to three months.

This is all enough to keep an old man busy, but you guys make it all worthwhile. I really appreciate each and every blog reader, Twitter follower and Facebook friend. This party’s for you, so dig into the refreshments and have a good time.

Summer Road Trip

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

My wife and I left toward the end of June for a two-week road trip. I thought I’d share a few highlights (or lowlights) with you.

Somehow, we got from Fort Worth to Blackwell, Oklahoma, our first leg, without any construction delays. Don’t know how that happened.

Our second day, we drove to Platte City, Missouri, just north of KCI Airport, to visit my nephew and his wife. Entering the Kansas City area from the southwest, we had an opportunity to make up for the lack of construction delay. We moved about two miles in maybe thirty minutes at one point near the interchange of I-35 and I-435. Lots of fun.

After years of resisting the idea of buying a smart phone—because I knew it would be smarter than I am—I finally bought one in anticipation of this trip. I got an Android so I could have the built-in Google GPS. I have no problem finding my way across country. I know approximately where all the two-digit interstate routes go, as well as many US highways, but the GPS is handy for getting to a specific address. And fun to play with.

On our first day, I learned that the GPS sucks battery juice like a camel sucks up water. No problem. The adapter cord has a removable USB terminal, and my Sirius radio has a built-in USB port. I’d just plug into that to keep the phone charged. The only problem with that was that for some reason the USB connection did not work to charge the phone, so I arrived in Kansas City with almost no juice. I managed to limp to my nephew’s house on the dregs of the juice, but I decided to buy an adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter for the rest of the trip.

When we left Platte City to continue our trip, a symbol lit up on the dash saying I had a low tire. Fortunately, when I refilled it, it held the air for the rest of the trip.

We had a long drive that day from Platte City to La Crosse, Wisconsin, where I’d arranged to meet with the fabulous Jess Witkins and her significant other, Joe. When we finally got to La Crosse—an hour or so later than planned, due to 794 construction projects along the way—the GPS decided it would be fun to send us around in circles instead of finding our motel. We finally had to stop and ask for directions. Oops, men don’t admit that.

We finally got to meet with Jess and Joe and spend a couple of hours with them. They showed us some lovely gardens down on the bank of the Mississippi.

The next day I was excited about getting to Harbor Springs, Michigan, where we would spend several days with friends. We enjoy these friends, but I also looked forward to the weather there. When it’s 100 degrees in Texas, it’s usually in the 70s there.

Oops! Sharon and I have this uncanny ability to take heat waves with us. We once took one to the Yukon Territory and even over into Alaska. Northern Michigan had daily highs in the mid-to-upper nineties the whole time we were there. Ugh!

We always go to Mackinac Island and to the Soo Locks at Sault Ste Marie while we’re there, and this was no exception. This photo shows our whole group in front of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. I stuck a pillow under my shirt so I wouldn’t look too pretty for the rest of them.

The day we left Michigan, our car air conditioner decided to play games with us. It blew out a weak stream semi-cool air all day. As it happened, the Cincinnati area had the hottest day on record that day. As we crossed the Ohio River the temperature registered as 110 degrees. Whew!

Next day, we drove from Lexington, Kentucky, to the Atlanta area to visit cousins in Peachtree City. For some reason, the air conditioner behaved that day.

After a good visit with the cousins, we headed for Monroe, Louisiana, on our way home. For some reason, the air conditioner misbehaved again that day but behaved the next day as we drove back to the house. Go figure.

I thought from the construction on the way to La Crosse and again the next day on the way to Michigan there couldn’t possibly be any equipment left for construction in other states, but we managed to find a good bit more—including one stop-and-inch-forward situation that took a good hour to get through. I remember when I was a kid my dad used to say, “We’re not tourists. We’re detourists.” Apparently that’s a genetic thing I inherited from him.

Oh, well, all in all, it was a great vacation, despite the heat and construction delays. I’m already read for our next vacation.

What sort of dampening experiences have you had on vacations? I always love to hear from you.

Romans 8:28 & 29

If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, then you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

As we continue to look at promises God gave His people, one of the greatest in my opinion comes in Romans 8:28-29. For some reason this passage is one of the most frequently misquoted, misunderstood and taken out of context in the entire Bible. In the New American Standard version, this passage reads as follows.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

I’ve frequently heard people say “All things come together for good,” and just chop it off there. Usually these are people who either or not born-again or else haven’t been taught much about God’s word. This passage was never intended to be a general catch-all, feel-good statement. It has a very specific application.

Another misuse of the passage comes from people who shut down their thinking processes when they see the word “predestined.” They’ll either be confused by the word or else use it to bolster their belief that everything we do has been preordained by God and we have no free will. Let’s look a little more carefully at what it actually says.

Before it says anything about “predestined,” it says “For those whom He foreknew . . .” Let’s think for a moment about what that means.

Webster defines foreknowledge as having a previous knowledge of. This should actually be a “duh!” Foreknowledge. Knowledge before.

God knew before the foundation of the world who you and I were, when we would be born, and everything else about us. That’s His omniscience. Before you come to the next street intersection, He knows which direction you’re going to turn. Before my telephone rings, He knows who will be calling and what I’ll say.

Before I was born, He knew whether or not there were any circumstances under which I would accept Jesus as my Savior. If He’d known I would never take that step, He wouldn’t have wasted His time trying to get me to do so.

Since He foreknew that there were circumstances under which I would accept Jesus, He arranged events in my life to lead me inexorably to that set of circumstances. Unfortunately, in my case He knew that I would only accept the salvation Jesus offers if I became hopelessly down and out.

Knowing that, He allowed—not caused, but allowed—my first marriage to fall apart at the same time my business went under. This combination of events left me without the love of a wife, without an income, and with greatly reduced access to the not-quite-five-year-old daughter I loved more than life itself.

For 31 years I’d lived with the confidence I could make everything work out okay. Now, for the first time, I had to come to the realization that I couldn’t. I had to be at that nadir before I would turn to God and ask Jesus into my heart and life.

For 38 years now, I’ve praised God for letting me fall flat on my face. For using “all things” for my good. Because of His foreknowledge, and not as an abrogation of my free will, He was able to bring me to salvation—to start the process of conforming me to the image of His Son, that He [Jesus] could be the firstborn among many.

Am I conformed to that image? Of course not. I will remain a sinner as long as I live on this earth. But He is in the process of conforming me. That’s why the verse reads “to become conformed.” It’s not a once and done deal. My salvation was a once and done deal. It can never be lost or revoked. But conforming me to the image of Jesus is a lifelong procedure.

This morning my daughter burned her finger and found she had a dead battery when she parked at her office. Not the beginning of a fun day, but she kept her perspective. She posted on Facebook that she was able to praise God anyhow. I don’t know whether or not I can take any credit for her understanding and her attitude, but I can take a paternal pride in her reaction.

Are you able to praise God when seemingly bad things happen to you? Tell me about an experience when you did. I love to hear from you.

Have a New Testament passage or concept you’d like to see discussed here? Maybe something you’ve never quite understood. I’d love to hear from you about that, too. I’ll try my best to explain it.
