Pictures from your Brain

Now, is this a good thing?

Scientists in Japan claim to have a technology that will display on a computer monitor what you are thinking about.

Yeah. Um, guys?

Thought police?

Thought guilt?

Yikes.

But hey, they say, we're scientists, we tinker - damn the implications. Potential harm, that's for, um, someone else to figure out. We have someone doing that, don't we? Potential harm analysis?

We don't?

It must be nice to be untroubled by moral dilemmas. The rest of us have to think about the consequences of our actions.

Thanks, scientist guy, for providing the next Hitler, or the antichrist, or whatever, a peek inside our brains. I'm sure they'll appreciate it, and reward you with a quick death.

Am I a cynic? No, I like lots of things. This is bad.

Up too early...

He's the King of Righteousness.
He's the King of the Ages.
He's the King of Heaven.
He's the King of Glory.
He's the King of kings and He's the Lord of lords.
That's my King.

Well, I wonder do you know Him.

My King is a sovereign King.
No means of measure can define His limitless love.
No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply.
No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings.

He's enduringly strong.
He's entirely sincere.
He's eternally steadfast.
He's immortally graceful.
He's imperially powerful.
He's impartially merciful.

Do you know Him?

He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
He's God's Son.

He's the sinner's Savior.

He's unique.
He's unparalleled.
He's unprecedented.
He's the loftiest idea in literature.
He's the highest personality in philosophy.

He supplies strength for the weak.
He's available for the tempted and the tried.
He sympathizes and He saves.
He strengthens and sustains.
He guards and He guides.
He heals the sick.
He cleansed the lepers.
He forgives sinners.
He discharges debtors.
He delivers the captive.
His promise is sure.
His life is matchless.
His goodness is limitless.
His mercy is everlasting.
His love never changes.
His Word is enough.
His grace is sufficient.
His reign is righteous and
His yoke is easy and
His burden is light.

I wish I could describe Him to you but He's indescribable.

Hanged for being a Christian in Iran

Her Father is dead. Her brother could be next.

Eighteen years ago, Rashin Soodmand's father was hanged in Iran for converting to Christianity. Now her brother is in a Mashad jail, and expects to be executed under new religious laws brought in this summer. Alasdair Palmer reports.

Things I don't like.

Martyrdom. It isn't over. Not at all.
I can't stand to hear people who say our government is the same as governments like Iran's, or that Christianity is just like this false evil religion. It's demonic.

It is also doomed.

Jesus said:
In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

The shame is, this story won't be printed in the US because it is Christians being killed. As it says:

Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter! (Is. 5:20)

...for your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. (Ps. 44:22)

But for Hossein Soodmand and his family? Well done, brothers and sisters. Well done
