Question on Sharing UR
PKnowler:
I want to thank you all for replying to my post. While it is difficult to reply to everyone I want you all to know that I appreciate it!
I have dropped in occasionally to lurk but I would like to spend more time in getting to know you all here and build friendships. I need to spend less time arguing with Orthodox Christians on other forums and spend more time building relationships with like minded believers!
Blessings, Paula :)

Hello Paula
If your talents are seeds and your seeds are your words and your words you are going to have to account for…….think about this….where are you spending, investing or wasting your talents?….where are you sowing your seeds on hard, stony or thorny ground and what words are you going to give account for in your final analysis before God.
Matt 12 : 35,36 The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things. 36 but I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle inoperative nonworking word they speak.
This is to encourage you in your perception that debate is futile and argument is pointless. Fellowship is good seed that I feel is like light. It warms encourages and builds up. Salt is like I see in Rays responses to his detractors. It stings, purifies and is anything but luke warm! The pearls of wisdom are in the teachings written by Ray for us that share insights and treasures found in Gods word to us.
so I want to say I agree and want to encourage you in your insight gained through experience that yes as you say it is better to : spend less time arguing with Orthodox Christians on other forums and spend more time building relationships with like minded believers! AMEN :D
Peace to you

I really like how you put this, 'your seeds are your words'.
I was thinking how this also applies to our everyday conversation as well,
not just as we are shareing the truth.
In our everyday conversation we may be more liable to speak an 'idle word',
because we are not on guard so much.
I know what is really in your heart tends to come out when you speak before you think about it.
But these careless words, we will have to answer for also.
Just a thought I wanted to add :)
mercy, peace, and love
Kat

Hello Kat
build and encourage any time Kat! That is why I believe we are here! ;D.....so let me build on what you have added please.... :D You wrote : this also applies to our everyday conversation as well,...Yes...cemented!.....I think you will have also read where Ray defined our works being our THOUGHTS WORDS AND DEEDS. So if we think in words and speak in words and communicate in words.....and if our seeds are WORDS......then out of the abundance of our hearts our mouth speaks......God sees our HEARTS and in the end the motives of our HEARTS will be judged.
Also if we judge ourselves we will not be judged........
How is that do you think. Does anything have to come down or can we build on that too ;D
Lets start a thread Kat ;D What are your motives?.........I wonder what would happen if we did?.....
I am off.....will have to check my own motives first before I open it okay? ...... ;D
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
