Subject: what is a charismatic church |
Bible Note: Jeshuafreak: What a pleasent suprise by your response, I am thrilled. I was unsure exactly what your position was in you first note. My guiding spiritual principle for the forum is Galatians 5:6 the last part of the verse says "The only that counts is faith expressing utself through love," I perfer to leave openess in my notes, that perhaps others can join into and complete the dialogue so we all can grow. If I do not know for sure of the response I give is accurate, I will respond with a question. I believe if I give out all I know then that is just an answer. Often I do give the complete answer which is the right way to respond. However, when I feel the Holy Spirit nudging me, I at times will not completly and fully give a total answer. This I beleive allows to open other's spiritual minds, and Bibles, and add to the answer. This allows more people to participate. More often than not, I learn more my self. I am not an authority, or the final answer on this forum, by a very, very, very, long shot. I am just one of many, I am "justme" thus my name. As I sit now, at my desk, there are twelve reference books I use quite regulary. I am blessed with a large library that my wife and I have both invested not only our money but many years in in formal education and study. My primary studies were in Bible, Psychology, Missionology, Pastorial Care, and Pastoral Theology. My wife got the same degrees but in different areas. I am indeed blessed. I have had some major blessings, that God allowed to happen to me. My health is a constant battle. and we depend on the Lords watch care every day. Besides physical problems which includes Cognitive slippage. I am so blessed, my wife and children, and grandchildren a rich reward! My wife is my litteral help mate. I have said all this to say My wife and I walk by faith as most growing Christian do, or come to do. I sincerly welcome you to the Forum. Take a moment to fill out the Update User Info. It is nice to know a little about who we talk with. There are some real jewels of Jesus in this forum. Some more polished and sparkley, and others like me, we look like sandstone, but the Master is chipping away to show how we fit, in His crown. I an encouraged with your attitude. God Bless you. agape, justme |
