The Bible tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, Since you've been taken out of the world who are you resembling? Indeed this present world and all its lusts are quickly passing away, And those who belong to Christ and The Word are all that will stay. The earth is reserved for judgment of ungodly men with evil desire, And everything on it will be laid bare when God destroys it with fire. Knowing this Peter asked believers what kind of people should we be? If you're not sure of the answer, just open The Word of God and see. We should live godly lives waiting for God to purge the earth of sin, And we should be found spotless by Christ and to be at peace in Him. As citizens of Heaven, to this evil world we should not be conformed, But, by the renewing of our mind The Church should be transformed. For we were once of this world and by many things we were enticed, But being bought with a price we have become new creatures in Christ. For it was not with perishable things that you and I were redeemed, But with the precious blood of Christ, whom The Father has esteemed. We are urged to be as aliens and strangers in the world that we live, So the pagans may see our good deeds and glorify God when he visits. So let us fix our eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross in our place, And live not according to this world, but according to God's Grace. He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear, |

Just last night, and this morning I was thinking about something that happened to me a year ago in October. It's all very, very clear that something supernatural of God changed me. I don't do the same things. I don't feel the same way about things that God finds not good for me, or for any of us for that matter. It was a year ago this month that I see what your words say about a new creature. I can't even (do) the same things I used to be able to do. So I believe our walk with God IS supernatural, and walking takes his revealing things to us. That's how I see us walking out our salvation. It's a supernatural revealing for me in my own personal life. I don't know, and can't speak for other people, but that's how it works out in my life. Thanks for sharing this, and the others, because I always take time when these come up to examine myself. This is great!!!!!  Love, Terri @-->-- |

 (big hugggssssssss) I too believe in His judgement and not the judgement of mankind, sweet friend, trust is something I value but I believe the Source is what must never be denied and it gives me the impression I should trust only the Source! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a spiritually wise soul, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

WOW ! Loved this - this topic has been very heavy on my heart also and I am working on a poem dealing with the corruption done to God's mission by angry bitter Christians. Bob - I have been away from these posts for awhile and I think you were just starting to post as I left. I am sure I have missed a lot of good works by you - so I will go back and check them out - great work - loved the length of it.. so many times my poetic endurance runs out. Thanx and God bless - Tim He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |
