What does it take to be a man? Is it being tall in stature? Maybe possessing a muscular might? How about having a bushy beard, smelling of pine and wearing a worn out flannel shirt? Do these things make a man? I ask because through the years, our definition has seemed to change. No longer is a man…

The Battle of the American Christian
1 John 2
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Don’t sugarcoat your feelings. Don’t say one thing and live another. Honestly evaluate your life. What do you love? If you love God, you simply don’t love other things. What is most precious? What is your treasure? Does my life show this?

John 8:28 (ISV)
“So Jesus told them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.”
Every other version adds in a “he” or something equivalent after “I am”, but “he” is no where to be found in the Greek. They do get it right in 8:58, and I know I’m no scholar, but I do think the ISV, a version I know little about, has it right in capitalizing it completely as it is the name of God.
