Yep.
It’s that time……again.
I’ve been traipsing all around bloggyworld, throwing my two cents in here and there….catching up with friends, peering into the minds and hearts, and sometimes just the imaginations of various people around the world.
I’ve also tuned in a bit to the latest buzz of all the crap going on, especially between what many refer to as the “fundies” and the “Emergent Church”.
(Hey. if Paul,…or the King James translators, can say ‘dung’, then I can say “crap”, because it’s the same stinkin’ thing)
Where do I stand? I stand with with Jesus. How I relate to you, depends on how you relate to Him.
You may hate Him, and want to kill Him, …but He absolves your sins.
I want to be more like Him.
I am a believer in Christ Jesus. His faithfulness is where I put my faith, not in any religion, denomination, church, movement, organization, ‘anti-organization’, ministry, method, practice, prayer, bible, etc…….
If you have this same faith, then I consider you to be my brother or sister in Christ. If not, I DO NOT HATE YOU OR CONSIDER YOU TO BE LESS THAN ME.
I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE BETTER THAN YOU.
YOU AND I ARE THE SAME.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AS ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
BUT I CANNOT AND HAVE NO REASON TO DENY THE REALITY OF EXPERIENCING THE TOUCH OF JESUS CHRIST IN MY SPIRIT, AND THE FELLOWSHIP THAT I ENJOY WITH GOD IN CHRIST, NOR THE CHANGES THAT ACTUALLY HAVE TAKEN PLACE AND CONTINUE TO TAKE PLACE IN MY HEART AND MIND, NOR THE LOVE OF GOD IN MY HEART THAT IS GROWING MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES ON, NOR THE DISPLEASURE I TAKE IN DARKNESS, INCLUDING THE SIN WITHIN MY OWN SELF.
I HAVE NOTHING TO BOAST IN, AS I DID NOTHING TO GAIN THIS GREAT SALVATION. I ONLY BELIEVED THE TRUTH. GOD RECONCILED MAN TO HIMSELF IN JESUS THE MESSIAH AT THE CROSS. THERE HE DIED FOR OUR SINS AND THEN ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY AS THE FIRSTBORN OF NEW CREATION.
IT IS TRUE!!!
IT IS TRUE!!!
To me, this is the core of the authentic Christian faith. I think it is pretty much self explanatory.
I seriously don’t have a problem saying that.
My parting words…?
Whomever the Father calls, they go to Jesus, as He is the Door.
Those whom the Father calls know Jesus for who He is and they go ‘through’ Him to fellowship with the Father, and consequently fellowship with one another.
The Spirit is nudging me to depart from this electronic realm, so off I go.
Who knows what comes next?
Whichever way the Wind blows….
JESUS IS LORD!
