Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

What the LORD makes good to me

The LORD has promised good to me:
Forgiveness of my sin;
His rescue from the deepest pits,
and healing without, within. (Ps 103:1-4)

Understand and know the LORD
Who love and judgments make known;
Holds wisdom, might and wealth from me,
As all these are His own. (Jer 9:23-24)

We know God calls and works His plan
In those whom He did choose;
These show Him love and on their behalf
Works all things for their good. (Ro. 5:8)

The Word of God is a two-edged sword
That pierces in between;
Discerning gossamer threads of being,
that none have ever seen. (Heb 4:12)
