    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    Oh how I long for the company of those whose hearts are sold for integrity, how I long to be able to bounce my thoughts off another believer face to face and not be ignored or isolated. These events for me are not a new experience although it did take me by surprise considering the...

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    I'm persuaded that God's remnant Church does not bear a name recognisable in the system of denominations. All are drinking the wine of Babylon with some drinking more than others.

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    Does one still turn up when one travels two hours one way to hear sermons that are as dry as the hills of the Sahara or when one is told to shut up after an open invitation for people to share their views? When attempting to address the sermon afterwards is like like pushing a soft do do up hill...

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    Phoneman, it is not necessary to judge so quickly. There are factors which you are not aware of the details of which I will spare you. In profession and lip service there is much piety yet when it comes to transparency and inconvenience the true colours are shown.

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    Presenting Jesus brakelite is what I hunger for. Presenting him in a way that draws me to him, that makes me want to enthusiastically pursue what the preacher presented and not just a passing mention every now and again to validate doctrine or to raise revenue. I think you know what I mean...

    AN OFT OVERLOOKED LESSON FROM JACOB'S LADDER

    As to date I have not found such a church ie an institution. I have found however individuals whom I could take a feather from their caps. People who have shone as lights in ways that they are oblivious to. It is people of this nature that I consider his church. Scattered thin, very thin...

    Ohhh, so all messages in 'Start a Conversation' are for public scrutiny as per our brief interchange. Is that right?

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    When the language of 'done away with' is used regarding God's Law, what was it that was done away with?

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    The question is now, what do we imagine he would avoid? Would he avoid God's Law?

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    If one thinks it all needs digesting in a quick read as per entertainment then sure its a headache. It becomes a headache because new information and or challenge requires application/work and if one is trained for quick fixes and instant gratification it's problematic. Directives from Jesus is...

    Paul's Thorn In The Flesh=Not a Sickness but a Messenger of Satan to buffet me.

    Could it be that entertainment is desired rather than truth or perhaps truth that challenges is not sufficiently entertaining and therefore dismissed/sidestepped/criticised or lampooned?

    The Righteousness of Christ is not a Coat that Covers Sin.

    I think people loose their way being distracted by the lust of the flesh ie, influence, money, sex, pride, instant gratification etc. These things shift the focus in its host and if maintained choke out the good seed while a form of godliness sits in the drivers seat. Yes, the shift of...

    The Righteousness of Christ is not a Coat that Covers Sin.

    Yes, I understand Heb 13:8. What I'm actually asking is (and this is not to be flippant but rather to draw the question out) is he finished with washing my socks or with yesterdays meal or with loving the Romans , yes, what is it that is finished because sin is still alive and well on planet...

    The Righteousness of Christ is not a Coat that Covers Sin.

    We say the work of the cross is finished but what do we mean by that? When Jesus said 'it is finished' this needs qualification. Qualifying is not for purposes of argument but rather to understand how the dots join and don't we all want to know and see the picture God is putting out there...
