      So do I I believe Psalm 19 is about the Internet the verse 'Their voices go out all over the earth' Where ever we are in the world we can all hear and worship together. Transgression is all over the internet with many of the videos that are being Posted on line Mathew 6:1-9 Isaiah 26:20 in our sanctuaries

    I was just thinking about this this week! I just don’t see how one can love oneself. Why, even? Better to just be oneself. There is the true reward and pleasure.
    If we’re right, the a lot of the world is wrong and counting and I don’t like the implications of that….

    would it be fair to say that the type of self-love you are talking about is vanity and self idolatry, because I feel like love cannot exist where respect is not present, and the type of love that I’m hearing described here does not seem to be love, because it is not self-respect. I have a hard time imagining that you could possibly be implying that a person should not respect themselves as they would respect somebody else in order to be considered a good Christian. I feel that self-love is extremely important, but the type of love, I mean, is the type that we give to our friends and family members, not something vain and self-important.

      Yes, you are correct. The Lord says "whoever loves his life shall lose it," John 12:25
