He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?  ~Micah 6:8

Threads of Grace

Welcome to Simply Susan, where I write honestly about faith, marriage, motherhood and the everyday threads of God's grace.

So grab a coffee.
Pull up a chair.
I’m so glad you’re here.

Calvinist? Homeschooler? Something else?

This quote sums up why I don’t call myself by any particular label. Granted I don’t know the complete context in which Mr. Washer is talking about or to whom he is addressing but the general thought is still good.

“Anytime your banner becomes anything other than Jesus Christ you ought to be afraid of Hell. If your banner is “I’m a Calvinist”, if your banner is “I’m a homeschooler”, if your banner is this, that, or anything else, if you’re rallying under any other name than Jesus Christ; you’re in danger. You are in danger!”~Paul Washer

    oh dear me, I agree, but…oh dear me! Did you have to mention Mr W? I’m associating that with so much brain-weariness that I almost missed the important thing he said.

    BB (the so vain! 😛 ) xx

    Teehee, sorry m’dear…but it’s such a good quote! I can’t help it if your own blog has become the source of such scandal. 😀

    Whew, it was getting a bit *hot* over at your place…but you are so eloquent, so articulate, and I love the gracious way you dealt with the situation.

    so, now it’s back to truffles and the like! 😎 For awhile. O:-)

    LOL! Thanks for your kind words friend, and for your contributions to the discussion. I was beginning to find it all a little stressful. Truffles sounds so, so… safe and comforting in comparison (even if that does make me vain and shallow 😛 )
