Subject: How to "win the world" ? |
Bible Note: Greetings Larry - last I looked, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Gal 3:28)No aplogy needed! Welcome to the Forum. Brother Hank aksed that you consider enlightening us "old timers" a bit - please go to "update user information" (under Resources to the left) and fill out your personal profile. This helps us understand and get to know one another a bit more here in cyber churchspace! As far as "preaching" goes, that is not my calling! But I do endeavor to use the gifts that God has blessed me with to edify and encourage the body, as well as those who perhaps are not yet of the body who God places in my life. I'm glad that you are in a place where intimacy is promoted. My church "seems" to be blessed of God, but for how long is the question. Right now, discipleship is taking back seat to numbers, programs and facilities. Prayer has been relegated to the basement of a building - but each time I go, I am encouraged and blessed as I enter the presence of the King with other dear saints. Prayer matters; it moves the heart of God. A far as expounding on "intimacy" with God - either you know about Him or you KNOW Him . . . "Thus says the LORD, 'Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,' declares the LORD." Jer 9:23-24. Blessings, mommapbs |
