I am called a "pessimist" by many christians because I look at life in this world as being sinful, sordid, filled with deception and not having very many people that you can trust. I try to point out that this is not "our best life now" but that our best life is the one to come. Yet, it always comes back to my being a pessimist. So I have been pondering that. I believe there is some value to what they say in that I do need to concentrate more on the hope and possibilities that Christ offers to the world, but then I get pessimistic again because I remember how few people want to accept and submit to Christ. I pray that the Lord considers me a truth seeker. I keep coming back to your blog. As unappealing as that afflicted path is, it has grabbed my attention and I am asking God to help me surrender to Him, but God help me it is hard.

Thank you for your website and your blog. Very biblical and heartfelt! It is quite sad when people don't see the truth staring them right in the face; yet we all make our own choices. You bring out very sound points that believers should know and follow, but unfortunately these are not words that are heard very much in the pulpit, even though they are words directly from the Word of God. It is time for all in the body of Christ to quit nick picking about extra biblical goings on and just trust in Him and Him alone loving Him and one another.

Brother Herrin,
I have been reading your blog with interest for a while. After reading the previous post, I thought, but did not take the time to comment, that it was good to read something which was thoughtful and reasoned.

It is very easy to be overwhelmed with the abundance of "information" on any given topic, and, for me, difficult to sift truth from fiction. I am grateful that you are willing to take the time to bring reason into the chaos.

Thank you for this post. I have certainly witnessed a great deal of squabbling among Christians. While we may sometimes disagree I really don't see a need to be ugly about an issue.

I have not always understood various biblical positions and verses that others have, thankfully people have been patient.
