The Bible NETwork Blogs

I love words ....  I love language, stories, myths, poetry ..... so it will be no surprise when I admit to having spent a great deal of my life reading.  In fact, thinking back I cannot remember a time when I didn't read, though of course that has to be the case.

4:10 I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.) 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance. 4:12 I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment, whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.

You must be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I can not believe that it has been almost a year since I last posted in here (bad administrator bad administrator)  Well sadly this will be a short entry as there a million and one things that I need to get busy doing. Here is the short list:

In Sunday sermons, we have been working through a series of teachings about how we can practically do something in response to the consistent teachings in scripture that God is "on the side" of the poor and the oppressed and that we, as his people, are to do something about the injustices that continue to plague our world. After all, God was so generous to us - who were spiritually so poor we were dead in our sins - that he gave his Son so that we might become spiritualy rich!

So, we who are relatively rich in our Western lifetyles, have been encouraged:

As you may have guessed, if you've been around the forums recently, there seems to be an abundance of cultists abounding...

After a while, unless you have a real, confirmed, consecrated, ordained.....calling to witness to cultists, this becomes wearisome.
