Hello Mark, Thank you for your post. So very well said and so very well illustrated through scripture. Your post should be beneficial for correction and the redirection of the approach that some sometimes take on the forum, myself included. It is sometimes a hard thing to do to let go of something one has come to believe through the teachings he/she has received over time. On one hand that is not a bad thing. If we truly "believe" something then we should be convicted of it and hold fast to it. But as we grow and learn and find our beliefs in conflict with the clear teachings of scripture, the task is to let go of the previous belief replacing it with the truth. Sometimes this means abandoning something proven to be false, or restructuring something that was incomplete or misguided in the first place. I think pride makes it hard for most to do this effectively. Again, thanks for your words of wisdom Jeff |

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your kind words. I agree with you about pride. We have to actively submit ourselves to God, and be ready to be changed, heart, mind, and soul. God has to really work on me sometimes just to keep me teachable. And we must be willing to be wrong, and to receive each other as brothers, right or wrong. I pray that each of us increase in our love for each other day by day, until that day in which we will be perfected in love! Love in Christ, Mark |
