Email Irony

This is not a political blog, but I find it ironic that days after Obama mocked McCain for not using e-mail, Gov. Palin's email account was hacked, illustrating why it is wise not to use e-mail if you are in politics. It also illustrates the wisdom of Solomon, who by inspiration wrote:

Ecclesiastes 10:20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

Today the bird may be electronic - but the same principle applies. And here is my personal exhortation to you: try not to speak, write, email, blog, or otherwise communicate that which you would not want to be found out.

Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

  1. Amen TF,

    "shuuuuu:

    did you hear thus and so about them and them ? :)"

    At another blog, Sola Dei Gloria, PJ asked the question: "is God ever surprised?"

    I quoted a paraphrase of A.W. Tozer, what I read he said or wrote about God:

    "that He cannot “learn” anything, because If He did, He wouldn’t be God!"

    Everything in the dark will come into the Light. We are all heading in one direction, towards the unapproachable Light of Life!

    It's the Light that destroys the darkness! We can let Light destroy darkness now or later? If now, we enjoy the Light of Life. If later, we won't be enjoying much of anything but we will be weeping and gnashing our teeth in the fierce anger and wrath of His Presence, i.e., the lake of Fire!

    Thanks for the exhortation, another one I take to heart and soul!

Comment Guidelines:

1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.

2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.

3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.

4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.

5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.

6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.

7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.

8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.

9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)

10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
