Subject: Attitudes or Beattitudes?? |
Bible Note: Dear Curt, My post was not intended to dispute what you said regarding the absense of christian charity in too many of our posts. I agree with you! In fact I have been guilty of self-righteous and intemporate rhetoric myself. The point I am trying to make is... the fact that this occurs amongst us should serve as a reminder of our own weakness, and how dependent we are on our Lord for the grace we need to obey His commands. 1 Cor 10:12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. We ALL could profit greatly by heeding the apostle's warning. Regarding the ruling of one's emotions, I must confess that, all too often, I fail the test. Thank God for Romans 7 and 1 John 1. In fact when I am succesfull in immitating Christ it comes as a pleasent surprise, which causes me to praise Him for using a sinner like me to accomplish good. God Bless, John |
