Though the difference between self-confidence and self-centeredness can be as thin as a fine hair, it can also be as wide as a vast chasm. The divider is in the motive: is it only for self or is it to benefit others equally or more-so? Sometimes we easily recognize the true motive, other times we don't see it so clear.
We should take a fine look at our self as discerningly as we do at others.

About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
