Bible Note: Val, I echo Steve's sentiments. What a breath of fresh air. My heart can only be thrilled when I come across stuff like this. I remember back in the days as a baby disciple I was dealing with some heavy duty family issues and I was really feeling like the offended party and had opportunity to sit down with my Pastor and disciple'r after midweek service. Thinking to walk away from all this feeling justified in my heart and mind, little did I know what was coming. He listen to me for almost half an hour and then expecting to hear something profound he looked me straight in the eye and told me, brother you need to start dealing with your sin and really get to know Jesus. This wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear. I'll tell ya this. In my 15 years as a disciple those were the wisest and most compassionate words of wisdom I've heard. One thing he tasked me with was to really dig into Hebrews. I find myself constantly going back to Hebrews. I love it. Those words of wisdom and council almost 14 years ago saved my life and walk with God. After all the years after that I've gained a new an much greater perspective and appreciation for God and His priceless Word. Thanx so much Val my dear sister. Merry Christmas, lionheart. |
