Sure, why not. Nothing we've said has done injury to the other. There will be times when we reflect back on words spoken that they may be helpful when in a quandry and need an answer.. I'd like to think I've given good Biblical reasoning that will challenge you to go deeper to see the kingdom and come away from subordinate issues that only clog up the works. There's much I see differently having seen it and understand what the "Pearl of great price" is. Believe me, I never knew and had no idea....and there hasn't been much fellowship around since. Do you read Oswald Chambers? |

I've heard of him but haven't read anything he has written. At least I don't think I have. I read three hundred to four hundred books a year plus anything Christian I can get my hands on. So, I may have read him and not known it. | ||||||

His book-s- should be lying next to your Bible. You'll read the Bible anew once you get into His "My Utmost for His Highest". That's a daily devotional you'll never tire of reading and will always call you up to a higher plain of Holiness. He'll give you answers to questions you never thought had answers.

Mark 6:45-52 We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us, and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success. We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end. What is my dream of God's purpose? His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process - that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God. God's training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we get wrong when we think of the afterwards. What men call training and preparation, God calls the end. God's end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious. See also July 27th |
