Subject: Where is the Cross? |
Bible Note: Thank you for the challenge Brother (or sister) . I bear wittness to it and accept it. Let me encourage you that you are not the only one experiencing this mighty Call of our Lord. May all who experience the tug to fullness in Chrsit Pursue him for all they are and carry there cross through every temptation and Joy. Nothing can stand in the way of the pursuit of fullness. Luke 11:9 So I say to you, Ask and [Charles B. Williams, The New Testament: A Translation: The idea of continuing or repeated action is often carried by the present imperative and present participles in Greek.] keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you. Love you Brother (or sister), Matt |
