Note Card: On Battles of the Mind

Written on a 4x6 note card by Stan Julin.

June, 2001
Why fight a war in my own mind?  It can neither be won nor lost.  It makes no difference, affects no one but me, and that I am not sure how.  Sometimes I am like those holdout Japanese troops who, unaware that the war was lost, endured years of subsistence apart from all others before they were discovered and told they could resume life now.

Note Card: The Magnificence of the Cure

[Blog Author's Note:  The sacrifice my father refers to as the sweet savor offering can be referenced in Leviticus 1.  The sin offering is found in Leviticus 4.]

When a man offered a sacrifice, he put his hands on to signify transferal of himself with his sins to the beast, and slew and offered it.  If a sin offering, symbolizing the sins, blood and fat was put on the alter, and the beast burned outside the camp as unfit.  If a sweet savor offering, all was burned on the alter.  All the offerings together signify Christ's sacrifice, for both the sins are taken by Him and the man himself is accepted, as in sweet savor offerings.
