Six words Ray wrote.

(1/8) > >>

rick:
I’ve been meditating on six words Ray wrote in his papers, those six words hit me like a ton of bricks.  They are so simple yet most profound.

One can find in some of Rays writings, a question that ray would ask, which is ( but do they believe the scriptures ? )

I never put myself in the camp of ( they ) but while meditating I did, I had to ask myself, if I  believe the scriptures. As I was pondering that question, I realized ( for me ) that’s the narrow gate Jesus was speaking of.

One cannot enter in unbelief and one cannot believe unless God gives the faith to believe. It really is of God. I believe the message of the bible, I trust God, I trust He will do what He said He will do. I believe the good news.

As much as I would like to flee this life, it’s necessary, I long for all things to be new and evil reigns no more.. How sweet the sound.  :)

that's what i'm talkin 'bout, willis!!!    ;D

and until then we can remember also that our Lord loves us so, so much rick.  He died so that the Spirit of His/our Father could come and live in us, within our hearts graced by God.  that's the only way we will ever receive His peace.  True Peace. 

the truth of the matter is that when Christ does return, even if it's tonight, He will find very little faith in Him or His God and Father.

so hold onto the believing you have and exercise the faith He gave you every minute of the day.  our God is faithFULL.

Hi Rick,
 It is also the application of the life one has to live when a believer. One has to find that narrow gate and walk the narrow path, you cannot do that if you still:
Live as you’ve been living before, you have to change or see the change taking place in you. You should be giving up the lusts of life in not taking part of this world i.e. taking active part in its politics, doing everything you can to become rich, abstain from anything the apostles remind us of in their epistles. In this modern world we should make an effort to abstain from all the entertainment on offer by not
watching movies with violence and sex, zombies and ghosts, magic and spirits and movies with serial killers – anything that is not wholesome for the soul or good to the eyes.
We have been given the gift of faith by the grace of  our God Yahweh (I love using His name now), we are believers and have come to understand the Scriptures so much better through his servant Ray....
It is true that it is a long process, but we still have to make these choices to really want to walk that path, our Lord Jesus Christ will assist us if we truly want to win this race… then we will be able to put on that white garment to cover our nakedness in spiritual achievements. It's a long and hard battle we face everyday!
Just my two cents,
Jingle

Dave in Tenn:
The "gate" is a Person.  The "way" is a Person.  "No man comes to the Father except by ME."  There is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM.  The LORD Jesus Christ, HIS FAITH (given to us), and the Baptism into His Death.  There's no contradiction in Scripture, only different ways of saying the same thing.

Exactly Dave, we should follow Christ by living a wholesome and godly life, dying daily to the lusts of the world.
