Making the Grade
karenmarie:
good thread. I feel like I have had more fellowship and bible study reading this and pondering it than in many years of bible church attendings.

Obednago...this is a thread off the thread BUT I, being a former (former-because I had a stroke) biker, was intrigued by your story of DIVINE INTERVENTION in saving your life in the motorcycle accident. I, too, had two such incidences.
1. My head hit the road so hard it split my helmet in two but left me totally with road-rash.
2. I was young (18) and heading home at night after a church youth meeting. Wanting to impress the group on how fast I could make it home on my "bike" instead of their cars, I headed off. All of a sudden, at probably 60 mph the road disappeared on a curve and I was headed straight for the guard rails with seconds between me and them. I knew I was "dead"
as there was no reaction time AND the gravel between the road and guardrails would do nothing but insure the inevitable. I closed my eyes and braced for impact.
When I opened my eyes, I was zipping down the CENTER OF THE ROAD on my way home.
God literally transplanted me and the motorcycle into safety. Thank you, LORD! (still sweating)

Hi Stacey,
everyday is a dip in the Lake for me sister. And everyday it's my lusts and carnal minded thinking get me dunked under, all of my own volition. The Antichrist in me resists Christ in me, the Beast in me requires meat, and gets dust, the False Prophet in me proclaims I am God in my own temple. I know I have no such nonsense as a freewill, and yet everyday I pit my will to change myself by the power of 'self' against what God has preordained for me.
It's all a long process sister, we're all being ground down to dust, and just as our Lord gave up himself' to the will of his Father, we too must give up ourselves' to the will of our Father. It sure does hurt being second fiddle to God, but trust me it gets easier, we slowly learn, everytime God chastises me for my sins, again and again, slowly but surely I finally get the message, which is, "STOP DOING IT JIMI!!!!"
Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Christ is their Lord, I really get now how that is a truth and how it's going to be achieved, and let's face it God's got all the time in the universe.
Just as Captain Jean-Luc Picard would say to Commander William T. Riker, so to has God Almighty already said to His only begotten Son, Jesus The Christ of Nazareth, ;D ;).
God bless you.

Sorry Jeetkunejimi, but Stacey is a man.
Unless there's something you want to tell us Stacey? ;D
