I think its awesome that you see some of that over time in your life too! thanks judy for being one of the ones that have made doing this a rewarding experience. may God cover you with showers of blessing.<br />nikonsniper steveNikonSniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615403828504786189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037730299150540511.post-29690839148672844982013-06-23T10:34:59.720-05:002013-06-23T10:34:59.720-05:00It's two years later.

Then I examined where I am now. Every day, my struggle is to seek God, to align myself with God, to surrender myself to God, to rededicate myself to God. Jesus is my Savior and my Mentor. I am God's, which gives me hope and courage, and I endeavor to never take for granted. Thanks for the encouragement to stay the course.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037730299150540511.post-37208679195874583322011-07-25T13:19:06.292-05:002011-07-25T13:19:06.292-05:00Thank you for standing boldly for the Lord.

The theme is holiness. God is holy, separate, different and he wants us to be so also. As you said, he takes sin very, very, very seriously. I don't hear too many Christians talking about that these days. The idea that so many people have, that all they need to do is pray "the sinner's prayer," is a dangerous fallacy that needs to be more exposed. I love the way you do that in your post and with the following you have, hopefully many have been convicted to take sin more seriously.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the article by John MacArthur. I like his nine distinctives.

Have you realized that you can have a perfect and wonderful life in Heaven with God, without sorrow or pain, and that all of this can be received as a gift? If you have not given this much thought, it is worth your while to think about it now in the light of the next verses. They show the reality of this new life and the way you can receive it. They describe how all things will be made new and we can freely drink from the fountain of the water of life. The only condition is that we want it and are thirsty:<br /> <br />- (Rev 21:3-6) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.<br />4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.<br />5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.<br />6 And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.<br /><br />http://www.jariiivanainen.net/howcanbesaved.htmlman with desirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881690798999758579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037730299150540511.post-43843784861779725582011-07-12T15:36:24.867-05:002011-07-12T15:36:24.867-05:00Steve,

I presently am attempting my BS in Religion through Liberty On-line. At over age 50, I have a different perspective of school.<br /><br />My most recent assignment was to delve in to Galatians 5:16-18. and to find some theology there.<br /><br />at first it was so confusing to me, but after prayer and study and searching, a different perspective came through.<br /><br />Once we accept the Holy Spirits moving in our lives we become changed, are are in the process of changing, because the spirit and the flesh can not find harmony, either we submit (walk) in the flesh or submit to the Spirit, we can't do both. Yes, we will sin as did all of the Biblical characters, but they repented and craved God's will in their lives and he continued to work through them in spite of their sinful nature.<br /><br />Yes, I agree, it isn't just about accepting, it is a work in progress that we must daily submit to, asking for the Spirit and following his leading.feather lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013813435284904950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037730299150540511.post-28566535844102946022011-07-11T22:13:08.919-05:002011-07-11T22:13:08.919-05:00O this is good!

Going to church and praying every Sunday doesn't make you a true follower of Christ, but likewise, a follower/believer may perhaps not be a church goer. I think faith (as you mentioned) is a personal journey.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.com
