Bible Note: Greetings Hank - I've had quite a dialog with Kalos on this thread that has saddened me to a degree. We seem to be on different wavelengths here as I believe that when we share God's Word together we also should be able to tell how it has affected our lives. "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;" 1 Peter 3:15 The personal application of the Word in our circumstances or experiences becomes a source of encouragement to others in their walk of faith. (At least this is for me when I read what God is doing in the lives of others). BUT, this is not to demean or discourage the importantance of diligent study and the correct exegesis of the Word! Perhaps I too have been negligent in supporting my "opinions" with chapter and verse, but my intent has never been to pervert God's Word or handle it inappropriately. So, where do we stand - together or apart? Can you honor those who not only study the Word but also seek to "flesh it out" in their lives? Hank, if you believe that my position is offensive or divisive, just tell me plainly. I honor you as my elder in the Lord and trust that God is guiding you in your jealous desire for the integrity of His Word. Blessings to you my brother! mommapbs |
