We should humble ourselves as Jesus did. And we all can win the world. Yes Chuck we shouldn't throw stones at people. We should humble ourselves as Jesus did. And we all can win the world.

I have to confess I lack that. Of course we all do. Yes I believe that in light of this being the earths final days. Yes, You're right we should be praying. I have to confess I lack that.

Thanks for the aha moment. There are things that I too get aggrevated about that are not true, but it took 20 some years to get through to my heart and I just think if I mention it to someone they should just get it. My question now is....are there somethings that we should be ferverently (sp?) to be revealed to others? Also....don't you believe there is less time for the truth to be revealed than when it was revealed to us? I know God is the only one who can reveal these truths, so that is why I asked the prayer question. Thanks as always for pushing us deeper into conversation about our relationships with Jesus.

Good stuff The days off being a coward are gone. Somebody from Church I won't mention any names, But this person was at a conference somewhere and it was on aids. This person saw the people that were behind the Homosexual agenda. This person said "I do not want to be on the wrong side of these people". If we're afraid of people then we're serving another god.

I believe the balance is this: as Christians, we are supposed to remove the plank from our own eyes first... and then, with GREAT HUMILITY we can HELP our fellow man remove the speck from his. So many times in my own life, I have seen the light in some obscure area of my heart and I have changed my actions as a result. Then, if I'm not very careful, I will start to look down on others who have not yet seen this same light. I am patient with myself... giving ME decades to change... and impatient with others, giving them less than one hour. So, my goal in life and ministry is to declare Gods pure truth with TREMENDOUS humility... offering people the same hope and mercy God has afforded me. To do this, I will need to have the courage to present truth... no matter how much it collides with popular culture. And I want to deliever this truth with the same compassion that Jesus delivered his. :) As I mentioned in my comment to this post… I believe the balance is this: as Christians, we are supposed to remove the plank from our own eyes first… and then, with GREAT HUMILITY we can HELP our fellow man remove the speck from his.
