Can you all understand this, or am I just crazy?

I appreciate all the posts, good stuff for sure.

The doctrine of Christ and the effects of the doctrine of Christ.  Thank goodness for the effects of His declaring of the Father.  Many can say they have the doctrine of Christ, but when the effects are not shining as a light on a hill, this is what separates the doers from the hearers.

When we were carnally minded the last thing we wanted to talk about was the spiritual aspects of His word.  To actually think I had to forgive my enemies was the last thing I wanted to do.  

Our loving God has brought us through these experiences and now we see that we must forgive our enemies.  When we were caranally minded we were His enemy.  He forgave us, now we must forgive them.  There is no other way.

Gods ways are never without amazement and astonishment.  He is wise indeed.  Man oh man, we are so lucky!!!

God bless,

Gary

A candle is just a candle until it is lit by fire, before it can put out any light.  Takes the Spirit with fire to ingite the candle and the effect is light.

The previous posts have quoted well what the effects of this light are.  We have all seen that Gods word can be taken in many different ways.  All we need to do is look around, also throughout history it's evident.

I guess the question is are we just a candle or a candle afire with the Spirit?  Jesus greatest example for this, to me, is when they were crucifying Him and He said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do".  Wow, talk about having righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness!  

Was gone all day, was hoping this thread went a little deeper.  See if I can get it going again,  8)

God bless,

Gary
