Subject: What is the full meaning of Good Works |
Bible Note: My family never was very religious and as a result, I never was. I'm not a drug user, or an alcoholic or an abuser of people. I'm just what I think is a regular guy. I enjoy my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and so on. About two years ago, I went to a Baptist Easter service with my brother and sister-in-law (my brother was like me until he met his wife, she had a positive influence on him. It was during that weekend at my brothers that I noticed how much more enriched his life seemed to be than when he was living back home. Even more enriched than our parents lives seem to be. It obviously is a combination of his being a husband and, then a new father and I believe that part of his enrichment is also from his faith. His life/attitude seems more complete and fulfilled. Since then, I have been more receptive to Christianity than I had been previously and I feel as though I am becoming a more complete person. I have not turned into a fantatical Jesus-freak but I'm taking it one step at a time. I read, study - I've monitored this forum and others, again just taking my time. Every once in a while, like here, I dig in a little deeper and then try to apply a thought or an idea to the big picture. In answer to your question as to what was missing - God was missing from my life. I'm not sure as to what you mean when you say I'm getting hung up. I never was completely sure what the full scope of good works included - through your help and Hanks, I now know - and then I applied it to other thoughts I've had over the past two years. Learn |
