"I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth... Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?" Romans 9: 17 & 21

A [chief] for war and a [chief] for peace
I learned recently in my anthropology class that the Cherokee Indians had two chiefs per tribe ~ one was a "War Chief" and one a "Peace Chief." Both ruled by persuasion and could be removed from office. Betcha they found that some rhetoric came in handy every once-in-a-while, eh?

"A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels." Proverbs 1:5
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103
I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me, whether it be words of wisdom or some sweet honey of encouragement. But if it isn't either of those, please be respectful and keep your thoughts to yourself.
