Hey Ray -
No need to respond to this as I imagine you have many other emails to
write. I just wanted to let you know how infectious this idea of
universal reconciliation is. My friend caught it, passed it on to me,
and now we are watching it creep from our words into the people in our
church and beyond. It is amazing how the absolute love of God, whenever
allowed to run free from our false doctrinal constraints invades the
lives of people and changes even those who thought they knew Jesus. How
much greater when they understand not only the grace that proceeds from
Him but also that we as believers were found worthy to be predestined to
watch over this world with Him in the age to come. This is where I get
my most joy - that in overcoming, I may be found worthy to watch the
world be brought in to His presence in completion.
If I wasn't a t my desk at the moment I would probably dance at that.
I just wanted to encourage you from a personal testimony that even
though many scoff, even more hear these words and they are life to them.
And just an aside: I work on a college campus at the moment, and every
other Tuesday a group from a church comes that are known as "The
Screamers" carrying their big signs and banners proclaiming the
condemnation of most of the race of man. Can I tell you how hard it is
not to tackle at least one of them?
Marveling at His wondrous judgment,
Daniel
