@soul man I am reminded of 1 John 4.10: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

Shepherding, yes, but watch out for the doctrine.... If the doctrine turns out not to be Biblical, then hindrance rather than the actions of a 'fellowhelper' results.

@Giuliano 3 John 8 speaks positively of "fellowhelpers to the truth". It is not a hierarchical role which insists on its own supposed indispensability.

@shortangel Always good to persevere in the spirit of Acts 2.42: "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." :)

Paul also speaks of the obedience of faith/obedience to the faith (Romans 1,5; Romans 16.26); Paul described those who are saved 'not of works' as being 'his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works that God hath before ordained that we should walk in them' (Ephesians 2.10).

YW :)

@Heart2Soul Here's Mary Maxwell's hymn in full: How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me That I might Thy channel be. Refrain: Channels only, blessed Master, But with all Thy wondrous pow’r Flowing through us, Thou canst...

Here's another great quote from Habakkuk: 3.17-18: "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I...

@K9Buck Well, as with Lydia in Acts 16, it needs nothing less than for the Holy Spirit to open their hearts...

Umm...I wonder what Darby is being blamed for now....by the way the discussion is going... :)

@Giuliano Those solemn Messianic utterances are so searching, aren't they?
