Liked the caterpillar one. It is true; it is a matter of perspective. He gives a new one.
are pimping their most intimate relationship and it is cringeworthy.
their two witnesses are dead :/Sometimes I think Christians, even well-meaning Christians, are pimping their most intimate relationship and it is cringeworthy.
if so, then you will manifest it and ppl will be seeking it from you anyway, don't you think?I would ask if there is an intimate relationship there to share, if so, then we most definitely want to give Him to others.
I couldn’t do the side walk thing either. I’m not that bold but I don’t know the guy. What little I saw of him, he spoke of relationship. Who am I to say he is wrong? I also don’t believe screaming and spitting hell-fire-and brimstone is effect but it has been done that way for decades. Again, who am I to say God hasn’t used it to draw people to Him.
Philippians 1:15-18
[15] Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: [16] The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: [17] But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. [18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
You said: “pimping their most intimate relationship and it is cringeworthy.” I would ask if there is an intimate relationship there to share, if so, then we most definitely want to give Him to others. Or better said: 2 Corinthians 11:2
[2] For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
I wouldn’t say we are to “pimp” out our most intimate relationship, since to pimp is to control and there is no love in control.
their two witnesses are dead :/
Boldness? Common Victory.....
Your genuine love for Christ and awe of our Creator stops you from this.....your care for scripture is loud and clear - there is nothing cheap about your faith. That is why you will not shout platitudes from street corners and fastfood restaurants. Jesus promoted His relationship with his Abba through intergrated practice....by loving His neighbor. I see this in every one of your posts.
