Hi Mel,
Amen! A great study, enjoyed it very much. I read it last night, went over some of it again today. I like the format you use in your study.
Yes, speak God word and He will do the rest. There are a lot of golden nuggets there, if one will read and study it, with the help of the Holy Spirit....
Thanks for sharing...
God bless you as you work in His vineyard...
With God's Love,
Lois

Thank You. I am trying to understand the context into what everything else fits in. The purpose of making us more like Jesus covers a lot more ground than anything else.
So our trials, our testing, our building up by facing opposition in faith -- they seem to come together under that one simple theme.
I think a lot, but my thoughts are not always right. I think you touch a key element, the Holy Spirit. More to think on, I guess.
Again, thanks for the encouragement.
In Jesus,
Mel

Mel,
I am sorry that I did not get to this last week! Awesome thoughts! That is what I am hoping happens with what I post. Put it out there, let people read it, munch on it, throw it at a wall and see if it sticks. And let Christ do the rest. I just want to plant seeds, as many as I possibly can in the days left to me here on planet earth. If people end up coming to know Christ at my local church, hallelujah! If they come to know Him at some other church, hallelujah! Either way, it is a praise the Lord moment!
Keep up the good work brother!

Eric,
Thank you. I see no need for you to appologize, but it is not really to me you make that statement. Still, I accept it.
The truth is simple: Speak God's Word. Everything else flows from that. There is more complexity we can delve into, and indeed, we will. But it all springs from that Word through which all Creation came into existance with a Great Purpose.
It is sad to see that this is not universally understood. If I could impart this to everyone, I would. But you and I, we can only put it in front of someone to accept or reject. If we attempt to twist or cajole or otherwise persuade outside of the truth, it is very vain indeed. I understand a little how Christ felt when he viewed Jerusalem and said that he wished to gather them under his wings like a hen did her chicks, but they would not have it!
Thank you for the encouragement brother.
In Truth,
Mel
