It appears (God be given the praise) that the X factor is losing viewers to sitcoms like Big Bang Theory in trhe USA. Well. at least according to Instapundit.
But Xfactor is illuminating. For it shows what we want. Money, fame, and all that goes with it.
But that is not what we should aim for.
16From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. 17So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; 19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. 20So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God
We are not supposed to work by the works of man. We are supposed to work for God. And as our socierty becomes more pagan, this should be obvious.
Do you know what happened to Sunshine Mary at The Woman and the Dragon? The site has been completely scrubbed. Nothing there.
I do not have a clue.
I do know that the site was down for about four hours (just came up) but that was due to problems with my server, and a quick check with A2hosting indicated they were aware of it and fixing it.
