Quine Speaks on "Confirmity"

"Conform" -- Romans 12:1-2
None of us like to be considered conformists. We all want to be thought of as independent thinkers and unique. We want to stand out in the crowd, and be thought of as different. But the truth is, we all conform. A woman’s worst fear is to arrive at an event inappropriately dressed. So as not be thought of as weird, we conform to standards of style, politically correct speech, and acceptable norms and customs. But the bible tells us not to be molded by the standards of the world, but be transformed by a renewed mind. This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember this word of challenge, and break the mold. Not to be thought of as weird, but to get your norms and standards of dress, speech, thinking, and living from the Word.

Jay A. Quine: Meditate on the Word for blessing

A popular image of the Tablets as rounded-off ...Psalm 1; Proverbs 16:20
The daily news rushes at us at a speed never before imagined. Tsunami in Japan; fighting in north Africa; disruptions in Burma. We hear about world events almost before they happen. If we let ourselves, we would stay fixed on monitors streaming the news. But the Bible tells us to stay focused on the Lord. If we do, we remain calm, controlled, and content. We are to be blessed. Proverbs 16 says, “He who gives attention to the word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember this word, “blessed,” and be content amidst the chaos of the modern world, like a tree planted by streams of water. Meditating on the word, and not the news, day and night.
