--- Quote from: indianabob on January 22, 2009, 12:03:52 AM ---Samson and friends,

What is important to understand, it seems to me, is that God is using the most common the most base, the most difficult and troublesome individuals to do His work "so that no man should glory" and take credit for the result.
God is using me and you if I may make a judgment, because we have nothing to commend us and it will be obvious to one and all that it was God doing the work in us and the result was not based upon any talent or strength of our own.  The only talent of any value that we each have is a willling attitude of obedience and appreciation for the blessings that we are able to exercise and even those talents are a gift of God.

It really goes to demonstrate that God can do very much while having little or nothing to work with.  We are then a creation of God in the basic sense.  Plain, simple, ordinary clay being molded into a beautiful vessel to contain His holy spirit and to become, eventually, exactly like His holy son Jesus, a perfect servant and a son of God.

 Amen Brother Bob,

                           Just like the Scriptures indicate(using the unlettered, people viewed as ordinary, certainly
                           not " Friends of the World "). Acts. 4:13(Peter & John, men ordinary & unlettered);
                           1 Cor. 1:27(God chose the Foolish things to put the strong things to shame, that no flesh
                           might boast); 1 Cor. 3:19,20( The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, the reasonings
                           of wise men are futile). Note: Scriptural Quotes were paraphrased to emphasized the fact
                           that God choses who He wants to, not basing it on Worldly Educational Credentials. The
                           Apostle Paul was somewhat an exception to this, but boy did God humble him, in His use
                           of him. Nevertheless, God primarily uses the ordinary average people for his work.

                           Also, thankyou George and Dave for your comments and input to the discussion of Ray's
                           Email.

                                                            Kind Regards, Samson.
