a good word. . .

Being at work Friday and being sorta fed up with the ongoing politics of the job, my brother in Christ gave me an encouraging word from the bible 1 Peter 1. the concept of being a 'victor' rather than a 'victim'. Although I will investigate this passage, I seem to believe I should look into Galatians in the new testament.
What will this produce will only be a closer view and understanding of my God, the only true God. I did hear about a priest in the dutch catholic denomination - give a request that we call our God - Allah. In order to appease the Muslims. If we would do this I believe would draw down upon all who venture into this process a curse and destruction not know since Moses came down from the mountain to find the Jews worshipping a golden calf. Death to those (out of their destined time). This is of course not a path reasonable God fearing people will do. One of the key verses.
Leviticus 19:12
" 'Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
Evidently this priest hasn't studied the word of God which he has set his life apart to represent.

My other concern is my failure to attend church. Giving poor excuses for and hoping to get there, even deliberately determining to go, but then when the time comes to going - allowing other mundane things to interrupt.
