@Adoration John's First Epistle has a lot about assurance; and Romans 8 also is tremendously assuring to the true believer... :)

Thank-you... :)

I do love John's Epistles, so clear and pithy. Happy new year, @firstthings1st. !

"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain." (James 5.7)

@My Dreams Amen to prayerful sowing and waiting... :)

Heathen = nations. Sometimes the wise men from the east (Matthew 2) who honored the Lord Jesus are linked with the idea of 'the desire of nations' (Haggai 2.7) who shall come. "Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners...

@My Dreams forums dot thewelltrainedmind dot com Many do it. Maybe possible to do it too much? But, many do it.

@My Dreams Glad your mother is doing okay by God's grace; good she has meds.

@My Dreams PS: Sometimes there is much prayerful waiting during and after sowing, before blessing comes. Still good to continue sowing. (Isaiah 55.11.) I think India is very varied in terms of response to the Gospel, right?

@My Dreams It must be easier for a Hindi-speaker to learn Oriya, than for a native English- or Kannada-/Malayalam-/Tamil-speaker. Seems like there would be a big scope for Oriya-speakers among believers involved in Bible distribution.

@My Dreams I read of a Hollywood producer who wanted to re-create a 1950s beach scene, but couldn't find enough young women without tattoos, but now they do it so much (so maybe similar in Bollywood, also...); I saw a quote from the Bible Belt in America about those who have them in churches...

@My Dreams I hope your distribution trip goes well. Is Oriya easy for a Hindi-speaker to learn? similar to Sanskrit (not like Malayalam and Tamil...)

@My Dreams Great text there! :) May God bless your Bible distribution in 2021!

@My Dreams Happy New Year! "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15.57)

@Pearl Reasonable question, I guess...

@Pearl But getting used to it now?

Oh I see...

Thanks! changed typo...

@Adoration The Scriptural position is neither legalism nor sinless perfection, right? I do love John 6, which emphasizes the sovereignty of God in conversion... (plus a lot of other passages also...)
