Art Class: Giotto di Bondone: Infidelity and Faith, 1306

On fidelity and faithfulness towards others and in marriage, we watched a biography of  princess Diana's turbulent life, destroyed by unfaithfulness and selfishness. 




 The type of sermon that would get most pastors handed their heads on a platter. Richard Baxter has this to say on the subject of Christian modesty in dress: "And though it be their sin and vanity that is the cause, it is nevertheless your sin to be the unnecessary occasion, For you must consider that you live among diseased souls! And you must not lay a stumbling-block in their way, nor blow up the fire of their lust, nor make your ornaments their snares; but you must walk among sinful persons as you would do with a candle among straw or gunpowder; or else you may see the flame which you would not foresee, when it is too late to quench it."

Remembering Keith Green

This evening we spent the day watching a christian die: A whirlwind of a life that jumped into faith with no reservations. How a community of Christians walk together and disciple others, live together, love one another and seek out the lost. This is how a christian lives and dies. Tomorrow we will watch the life of Princess Diana as she lived and died. One was dead before he died and the other was dead while yet, she lived. Lord, teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Both died young, yet in one there seems to be boundless hope, and in the other, heart wrenching despair.
