Since you haven’t responded on my Blog,...Hey John,<br /><br />Since you haven’t responded on my Blog, I thought I would visit you on yours. You sound like someone I have known all my life… in fact you could be me a few years ago. You have the same self assurance and the same boldness about Jesus and the Supremacy of God as I had and the same absolute, well 98% perhaps, confidence that you are right and the rest of the heathen world is wrong.<br /><br />That was what got me in the end, John… that 2% doubt that kept nagging at me, saying “but there just something that’s not quite right about Christianity.” <br /><br />If you take the time to meditate on it John, it is just possible that one day you will wake up as I did and realize that it is your Christianity that is your Idol and your expectation that Jesus is somehow going to get us out of this mess that keeps you from knowing God’s true will for your life. Jesus showed us the way John… by doing God’s Will all the way to the Cross! How close to being crucified are you?<br /><br />SOHAM…<br /><br />Wayne<br />www.wayne-matthysse.blogspot.comWayne Dale Matthyssehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822522882616547296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291051544693268416.post-33817232451185205692010-07-07T21:25:16.084-05:002010-07-07T21:25:16.084-05:00Jeff,

It really helps to keep things in perspective. it is true that marriage is not all about equal rights, or having your say, but it is about giving of yourself, fully, to the other so that, in doing this, you can share in the joy that is communion with God through each other.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497415751620328350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291051544693268416.post-30576925231784889122010-03-24T14:54:33.377-05:002010-03-24T14:54:33.377-05:00GOOD postGOOD postSteve Finnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041851737677873347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291051544693268416.post-48079927291249035812009-08-03T16:04:41.399-05:002009-08-03T16:04:41.399-05:00Good words of advice, John.
