My downfall is impatience with others. My besetting sin. Which is more in the 'feeling' realm that the thought realm. :oops:

No problem...not an issue. Even with that Cake-thing...I didn't see why it was such a big deal. But I also feel that the owners are free to chose who the serve. Just as my son in law , a doctor, can refuse to treat someone who is being obnoxious. None of us were there in the Bakery, so...

Agree. I think every one of us has had a time when we 'looked at' ourselves and our progress or failure... "I". "I" "I". Once we learn that it is no longer I but Christ within who keeps us daily. Then give HIM all the glory and know our only "work" is as in John 6 “Then said they unto him...

Ouch. I can't go with you on that one. "but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. " The only 'measure' we have is Jesus Christ. He has told that we can do nothing of ourselves. "measuring ourselves" brings nothing more than...

I have never yet met a 'really' ..."Dead to self" Christian, of and breed, shape, colour or creed. :D Not dead yet.

Love that one...

AMEN! Oh how easily we make one rule for 'them' and another rule for ourselves. "Let he who has no sin throw the first stone."

Judgement without tears and heartbreak ,is not conceived within God.

Well said Willie. Even in this thread we see a dividing line and a 'revealing of hearts'. In EVERY single situation it is our heart that God is , and will be looking at and judging. "With whatever measure you mete, it will be measured unto you." How do we judge, how do we react . Just in...

Who says!!! 1 Cor 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." Jude 24 doesn't sound like he is testifying of himself! All glory is to God. And those of you who think that they can do something...rob God of His glory. 24...

( and to @bbyrd009 who obviously believes likewise ) :rolleyes: You obviously still believe that you are able...even thought God took 4000 years to show man that it was impossible to do. Why on earth did He send Jesus if you can do it anyway!! quote = "any thinking person knows...

We shall see my friend, we shall see. :)

Amen. I have been wondering where you were...you seem to have been MIA. Glad that you 'popped in'.

There will be much disappointment. Just as in Jesus day...they were all excited , expecting Him to literally restore and "bring in the kingdom". He DID, spiritually, not literally. The New Jerusalem in my book it's the completion of Jew, Gentle and Bride. ... "Abraham looked for a CITY which...

Sounds good to me. :) I believe Jesus used it too..."If your right eye offend thee..." "If thy hand offend...cut it off.." Amazing how the literalists don't actually take things as literal. The bible is a spiritual book which is spiritually understood.

You scoff in your ignorance. Maybe 'bible speak' is "deluded fantasy" to you. You must be a literalist. If Jesus can tell someone that they will be a pillar in His Temple...obviously he can tell someone they are a 'brick' in His Temple. REV 3:12 " Him that overcometh will I make a pillar...

Cold, white and sunny here today...around zero C So not bad at all underfoot.

I have always believed that an Apostle is one anointed to build and establish churches as the went from place to place preaching . They set in leadership , elders ,to tend and keep...and then circled round those churches teaching and establishing them to maturity. That what Paul and the others...

Good one @Enoch111 Well said. Sounds very 'Watchman Nee' ... :)

Haha! Love that..yes, we will shake it off like a cover and step out of it. Yet every day, when we feel grounded here..we must remember that- We have WINGS...we can rise above it... If you feel your shoulder blades you can feel them reminding you. :)
