    You do not need to choose one you can choose as many as you think are needed to describe the important motives that actually govern your conduct. Take into account all the important things that actually govern one's conduct because pretending that only one thing does is kind of like self...

    A blog to remember being the reminiscences of a chap named MoreCoffee

    Dear diary, Being the 4th day of May in the year 2016 AD I started reading/listening to George Orwell's 1984. It is amazingly good on so many levels. A true warning about the dangers of seeing the world through a lens corrupted by wickedness even if the wickedness is external. The youtube for...

    are we saved if we remain in sin -? no

    Well, there is Job who Jehovah testified to be perfect and upright. Maybe being perfect is not impossible for a human being if at least two achieved it.

    World Eyes that see unreality

    Another passage from the same book offers this insight. His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing...

    World Eyes that see unreality

    There is a great wave of refugees exiting Syria and staying for a while in Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq but many are not willing to stay in those countries where they cannot work and cannot live a normal life but must be contained in camps where tents are their homes and rain and snow bring...

    Obedience.
