1 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | John Reformed | 60831 | ||
Cyclist, I praise God for you my brother! I understand your concern regarding doctrinal differences. And I must confess that at times I should have hit delete instead of send. I take comfort in knowing that sanctification is a process. Perfection will come only upon the day we are finally glorified. In the meantime I groan along with Paul, "I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good." (Rom 7:21) Some of those who rile me up the worst are those who I love the best. But, thank God, I have never read words of hate spoken here. Thanks for sharing those verses with me. I need them all! God Bless Brother, John |

Dear brother John, It was a cool crisp morning in east central IL this morning. It took about 5 miles before my body warmed up when riding my bicycle. The sun rise was beautiful! How beautiful are the creations of God! Praise God for the beautiful things He has created! Praise Him for giving His only begotten Son for us, who did not deserve it, but, He loved us! Dear Brother, I'm still following this thread somewhat, I haven't been able to keep up with all of the postings, and, my computer "groans" when I click on one of them. I know that this is a forum, of the which I am very thankful for, but, man, there is a little tension in some of the postings. I enjoy being involved with, and seeing some healthy discussion, and even disagreement, but, it hurts to see the children of God "bear teeth". I'm trying to follow this thread because of you, because of our discussion back in March on Romans 9. I really had a "growth spurt" then. We know from the Word that GOD is LOVE! Here is some more scripture. I'm not posting as one in authority be any means. You know that I am one of the least in knowledge as a forum member. I'm simply posting this because you are in my prayers, and, you really helped me to grow. 1 Cor 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Cor 13:3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 1 Cor 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 1 Cor 13:5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 1 Cor 13:6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 1 Cor 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Cor 13:8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. God bless you brother! Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Thank You Cyclist, The trouble that each christian on the forum has is the same trouble that plagued Paul. Rom 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. Not that I hate all I have said but that there is much I regret having said. Some times I get pious other times i want to hurt someone because I feel I'm the injured party. All alot of sin and nonsense. Sanctification is a process and after I sin and God grants me repentence, I feel as if another step has been forward. Of course I must go to my brother and confess my sin against him and that tends to work humility and love in our lives. Thank you so much brother Cyclist for your prayers on my behalf. And if God has enabled me to be of any help, I give Him all the Praise and all the Glory for He alone is Worthy! Your Brother, John |
