We are only a dash from the womb to the tomb, blaggh😝. I just read that in our local newspaper article Spiritual Fullfillment. Every time I read this old pastors opinions I want to write a rebuttal to the editor . He never writes scripture but quotes from men and plugs for books, this one is called The Case for Christ.
To be children of Christ all we have to do is be willing to accept the gift of salvation.
This article is about how we need to choose either evolution or creation.
I heard of all of the older TV evangelicals, like B Graham, The Bakers, and a few more but never watched any. I tried watching J Osteen a couple of times. I didn't know who Paula White or Creflo
Dollar. Or John Haggling Hagee was until I started reading Rays site. As a matter of fact, I had no idea of A Babylonian System until I started reading all of the threads here. I now know that I was in that system briefly, Catholic School, not church, I guess I picked up the idols of it though, signing of the cross, their prayers, etc. But you know what, when I retired and moved here, in the valley , seeing all my neighbours, going off to church on Sunday, it started to appeal to me.
We were new here so what better way to fit in,so I went three times with my friend and neighbour. The people were much older than I , very sweet , but the sermon was boring and no scripture, I think the choir were all embalmed and ready for burial, I wanted joy, joy, joy, I checked to see if icaabod was written outside, 😂 haha.seriously.I told my neighbours how I felt so the next SundayThey took me to another church,the pastor was a young woman, very,nice. I had hope for this church. She even read a little scripture and one was in the form of a question like some of them are, anyway,can't remember which one as I was new to it.I raised my hand, Hahahahahahhah, if looks could kill. 👀I knew the answer and blurted
It out. I was so proud. The pastor said " well, if It sounds like a question, i guess I should expect an answer. " my neighbours never took me back to that church. I was becoming discouraged, so they tried one more and I told them , God's not in there either.God kept putting stumbling blocks in front of me. I was determined though, so I decided to join a bible
Study, ( with a bible I stole twenty or so years earlier from a hotel.) I repented for that. 🙏🏼I didn't think they would mind if I was reading it backwards, so I walked about four miles to the church on the day I knew they were there so that they couldn't run from me. Wouldn't you know it,
There were painters in there and bible study was cancelled.😟 And He sits in the Heavens and laughs. 😂Anyway, I ended up in a little cafe eating breakfast with two little old ladies whose
Husbands are Shepards here in the valley and heard stories of how each sheep know the voice of the Shepard.God turned my disappointment into joy. But then this happened.
Job 16:12.... I was at ease, but He hath broken me asunder, He hath also taken (me). by the neck
And shaken me to pieces, and set me up for the mark." I was preparing to go back into a System
That would have eaten me alive. Thanks be to God, He dragged me to Him. I have been reading a lot of threads and I realized. Many of you had come out of this system with must hurt in your hearts, I had no idea what this evil system was and what it was doing, I got real angry yesterday
About it and had to pray for answers. The only answer for me in all situations is All is of God. I have gone on too long, sometimes I just need to explain. God Bless You
I like those little doodads. loving God is Awesome. Praise His Holy Name.
