Witness...?

I was recently told by a loved one, that I am too Biblical, and always weave a spiritual context into my conversations.   It was implied that This perspective of mine causes folks to feel uncomfortable and stressed.

Over the past 35 years, at least a half of dozen times, I recall telling loved ones of conviction I was under to give it all - or give nothing in my Christian walk.  God has cleared any and all obstacles to give it all.

From my perspective - if we are just traveling thru this world, not to become attached, shouldn't we reflect the world we are heading to, not the one we are leaving behind?

Will we look at CHRIST as we are transformed and carried out at the Rapture and say "this is too Spiritual - I want to go back". 

I think Not...

Revelation 3:14-17 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

Due to the promises of God, I know my destination is to be with Him in The Eternal Glory of Heaven...  As I travel this world, I am to become more like Christ, less like the worldly man that I was.  Not perfect, but Yielding the flesh to the Spirit.  If that is offensive - then I guess I apologize if you are hurt, but, I will continue...  Yes - I will continue to offer the Loving Gospel of Christ to the unsaved, and Challenge and Encourage those that claim His Name as their own!!!

Matthew 10:34-39 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matthew 10:32-33 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Balance...

Hebrews 2:5-9 For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. But one testified in a certain place, saying:  “ What is man that You are mindful of him,  Or the son of man that You take care of him?  You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor,  And set him over the works of Your hands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”  For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

God IS...

If my head and heart are on right Spiritually, then at the depths of my Soul, I know beyond a doubt that I can not work to justify myself before God... I can not work for Salvation. I can not work for Redemption. I can not work to earn favor with God...

My Salvation, Redemption, Righteousness and Sanctification are all by the Choice of The Living God, Master Creator, Father of all There is. By His Choice / Election we are sealed unto Eternity to live and reign with Him Forever. NOT - by anything I can think, do or negotiate... Salvation / Redemption is solely and completely a manifestation of God's Sovereign Holy Will & Character Alone... 

Simply stated Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone - period...

Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

The Cost of His Love...

(Originally Written on September 10, 2013 )

Last evening we had a wonderful time of worship and learning at FBC. Pastor is delivering a series of messages in a Bible Q&A format that is very enjoyable, informative and beneficial. I really enjoyed the service. But, it was the Communion Service that followed that poured the Holy Spirit into my soul.

Pastor Shipe opened up the Communion Service with a few remarks that stirred the heart. He reminded us that this ordinance was initiated by Christ to take our hearts and minds back to the ministry and life of Jesus in remembrance. So that we would on a regular basis remember the pain, abuse, public ridicule, embarrassment and agony of a broken & torn body that He endured for us. Not to mention the spilled blood and horror of the cross. It was a picture that stirred love and compassion for Christ in my heart, unlike any other Communion I had participated in before.

Then I began to remember a lesson that Pastor Burns once taught me. God endured the pain of separation, when His Son took on the massive sin debt of all generations. The ugliness of my life alone must have been unbearable, then multiply that by every soul that has lived since Adam… The Father and Son had never been separated in all of time. Jesus endured the human agony of the Cross. His Abba Father endured an unimaginable pain of separation from His precious Son… God's Love for Us - Cost Him! For we could not pay the price on our own.

We have no human concept of the cost of our redemption, nor do we understand God’s economy of Love and Time… He paid with the best and brightest that He had to redeem those He chose to Love. He Chose to Love! He loved us so greatly and so completely, that He allowed the suffering of His Son in leaving Heaven to come to this wicked earth to minister to His Chosen People. Upon their rejection of His Kingdom and Lordship, He opened the door of salvation for the Gentile, to which He chose to share His Eternity and Kinship with us.

Oh my, the cost – the price The Father & Son paid to make The Way for us to travel. Yet we grumble and complain when we spend any of our precious time or funds beyond that which we think is appropriately allocated to our “god thing”… How it must grieve the Holy Spirit when we American Christians think we are sacrificing in His Name. Our national culture and all it's indulgence, is rapidly invading the Church and the corporate body of Christ is ailing, because we have all but removed Jesus from our thinking. We have corporately forgotten the Passion of His last week here on this earth. We brush over that poor aching and beaten body of our Savior. We have corporately lost the deep reverence and awe of His spilt blood on that Cross. It has become a church symbol, rather than a point of remembrance and reference for the Believer…

Dear Lord - Please Help Us Remember, Help Us remember the cost of redemption. Let us not fear persecution, but to stand firm, and show the world the true cost of Love by pointing to your Dear Son and the price paid at Calvary.

Straight Facts...

Men and Women's hearts are still desperately wicked, but freedom of Spiritual Choice among the elect is still alive and well. Just as we choose to Love - we also choose to yield to temptation and sin.

Straight facts, YOU CHOOSE !!! Not your environment, not your husband's poor choices, not your wife's distant attitude, not the issues at the job - but You will answer... YOU alone will stand for your choices in following God's Word and how you used your life, your marriage, your job, rearing your children and your Christian Service to bring Honor, Glory and Praise to God the Father & His Son... For Jesus said "If You Love Me - You Will Keep My Commandments".

**(by the way, you can't erase the ones you don't like, they all apply, and His Wonderful Loving Grace doesn't nullify the statement either)**

Do you WORSHIP a Mighty, Holy Righteous God that will soon bring judgment to the world? Or are you wrapped up in the concept of a dear old loving man in the sky that is going to give everyone a free pass? If that is the extent of your Theological and Doctrinal Depth, my advice to you is get used to Dark immense Heat... For the True God and His Son are about to make an appearance on the scene that will quite literally damn the unredeemed to Hell!

Psalm 86:12-13 I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. For Your loving kindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

Romans 3:21-26 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

John 14:6-15 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Philip *said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

Has Our Culture - Cheapened True Grace... ?

Jesus died on that Old Tree to forgive us of ALL our sin. The story didn't end there. He rose again 3 days later to defeat death and fulfill the punitive portion of the law requiring a life payment...

He nailed our sin to that cross, and put it behind Him... We as His Followers are to do the same. To forgive one another, and place those offenses behind us and walk away in His Spirit... To forgive, time and time again, just as He does and we expect Him to do for us...

He commands us to follow His Lead and Example. Yet some of those professing His name pick & choose what parts of the Faith & His Word they will Honor... They hold past hurts and offenses as badges of courage or rights of passage. Holding captive to those sins themselves, and others around them, rather than truly Forgiving and letting go. Never fully understanding Christ's Love & Compassion for us in the midst of His Unconditional Forgiveness and Love.

They want or demand His Forgiving Grace for themselves, while not freely showering those around them with that same Grace from the Heart of Christ. American Christians are spoiled, and arrogant, we feel that we have the "in" and understanding of Christ's Love. All the while forgetting He went to that Cross first out of obedience to The Father, to Glorify and Worship Him. He sacrificed His own Will and Life that the Bride might be purified and made righteous. We American Christians know so little of sacrifice, hardship or true suffering. Dear Father Forgive US...

Oh, how we must grieve Our Blessed Savior... For I know that I am such an unworthy soul, that He would Love even me, born in my sin with an evil heart. Yet, He gave His Life for mine... Oh What A Savior...

Note To A Dear Friend...

Accountability - Confusion in interpreting the message...

I am sorry kiddo, that's not what is being said here. Not at all... Ephesians 4:1-6 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

We are called out from the ways of the world to follow The Way of Christ. That brings accountability period. That's NOT legalism. Legalism is when I, as your Dad, Husband or Friend has a list of arbitrary Do's & Don'ts that I hold over your Head as a litmus test for Salvation... I know Legalism, because I lived it the first 30+ years of my life. What this is saying is God has expectations of us - accountability. Accountability in the way we live our lives as to not bring harm or retribution to the Name & Testimony of Jesus Christ. If He Lives In Us, then His Sacrifice & Humility in Love is in us. There is no deep rooted anger, there is no fear of accountability, there is no contention among fellow Christians, Husband & Wife, Mother & Daughter, Sister & Brother, Employee & Supervisor. God's Spirit, His Peace and His Heart are all a part of the New Creature. Stumbling from time to time is one thing, however; a life of perpetual frustration, anger, with the desire to run from God's accountability is a warning sign.

In Matthew 7, Jesus warns of the wolves in sheep's clothing, a picture of people calling themselves Christians, that participate in the activities of a Christian life. However; when pressed in Spiritual matters, they display the core of their Heart and their true Master. You see Dear Child, God's Holy Spirit lives in the Heart of those He calls. While these dear people are not perfect, their dependency for life in its most basic form to the most complex is rooted in Jesus Christ. At any given moment they believe deep in the core of their Heart in Jesus Christ, and His ability to deliver them from any evil or any problem by His Power & Will in His Timing... That is Faith, Trust & Belief in Christ, not depending on our own abilities. Believing in the Supernatural - and believing that the Supernatural can in fact manifest Himself in the world today... God IS !!!

Matthew 7:15-20 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Accountability - is an innocent and practical way for the brethren to watch for the wolves, a as well as lovingly help a Brother or Sister in the Faith, when they are struggling. Carrying each other's burdens, praying, walking along side and using the Scripture as the measure. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. If a person definitely rejects a lovingly & innocently posed question regarding their walk (offenses), then you must follow Christ's instruction and take another Brother / Sister with you to talk with this person. If they still reject your concern, take your Deacon with you, if still the offense continues Un-repented, take the Deacon and Pastor with you. If still they stand in defiance, offering no conversation, or discussion of the matter in their defense, nor offer no apology, or repentance of the issue, take them and the issue before the congregation. If this does not bare Good Spiritual Fruit - then the Church - by Christ's own instruction, is to set apart the Un-repentant Heart from the Church / Congregation, if they truly are of Christ, they will be given over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh and salvation of the soul.

A Dear Pastor Friend of mine, used to always tell me "People do - What People want to do"... At first blush, it seems to be a pretty simple and basic statement. As I aged, and experienced the harshness of the world and life in it, I realized this Dear Pastor was teaching me a core Spiritual Lesson. The contents of a person's Heart are on display in the things they do & say every moment of their life. Christ's Love is Deep, Unconditional, Drenched in Mercy, Full of Forgiveness, Abounding in Grace, and Always - Always willing to Restore the Fellowship. This too, is the Heart of the True Loving, Devoted, Submitted and Yielded Follower of Christ. These attributes are then on display in their actions, their words, their Charity & their Worship and they are both a conduit and a reflector of Christ's Amazing Love & Light. They are not perfect for they walk in the flesh, but they are not of the flavor of Modern American Christianity where Grace is used as an excuse to do what we want all in the name of Liberty. Christ died to give us Ritualistic / Ceremonial freedom or Liberty from the Law, not Liberty from the Heart of the Law. That Heart of The Law is God's Holy, Righteous, Just and Revered Character, which Christ Lovingly and Humbly submitted Himself to.

So my Dear Child, what I was truly saying was this... A Child of God, the betrothed of Christ will reflect the Heart of Christ (for further detail read Matthew 5 and Galatians 5).

 A Follower of Christ, will have a Heart willing to discuss your thoughts and opinions of their life - when you offer it with love, as Paul instructed, "speak the Truth in Love". They won't be quick to be offended, they will show Loving Kindness, Gentleness, Compassion, Understanding, Mercy, Eternal Forgiveness, Un-Ending Grace, and Continual Restoration, for those are the attributes of the core of their Heart, for that and much more is the core of the Heart of their Blessed Jesus. The Holy Spirit Truly - Truly takes up residence in the Hearts of genuine / authentic Christians. That Spirit is Real... That Spirit is of God, do the math Dear Child, God is Holy, Righteous & Just. If that Light lives inside of you, you WILL BE DIFFERENT than the rest of the world. So too, will the Christian friend you are trying to discuss this offensive issue with, they will be different as in the True Christ. Approach in deep prayer, bathed in Love, and open arms of Christian Fellowship, God will prepare the Heart of your friend for the discussion. God Bless, I will pray for you...

Discerning Hearts - Guard Your Hearts...

Dear Friends & Family... As I have been reading information on FB and the Internet, it has never been more apparent nor more important that "we guard our Hearts" and protect our Families against the "foxes" that teach error and heresy.

There is a lot of "stuff" out there that is Biblically and Doctrinally unsound, and in some cases - bold lies. Study God's Word, attend a Good Solid God Fearing, Bible Teaching, Christ Loving & Proclaiming Church. Learn to gravitate towards God's People and the Accountability that proivides.

Remember, anti-Christ is not just a person in the end days, it is a mindset and agenda of the end times - Guard Your Hearts Loved Ones...

2 Timothy 2:14-19 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

What Does Christianity Look Like To You...?

Some have noticed, I cleaned off a lot of my Biblical based pictures and posts, due to being offensive to a few folks...


This Morning I share Greetings in the name of my Lord and Savior "Jesus, the One and True Christ, sitting in all His Majesty and Sovereignty next to God the Father".


I tell you friends, that if the TRUE Love of Christ is not in you, your mind and heart will never know True Peace, True Forgiveness, True Joy or True Deliverance from the mighty and powerful hand of Judgment that is soon to be seen.

The earth quickens in the site of Him standing and poised to come get His Bride. The Bride's heart races as she sees her groom stand before the Father. The work is finished, the deceiver draweth close, Israel is weary and at the door of compromise.
 
So, listen intently True Church, the wedding trump is about to sound... Sow the last of the seeds He has given you, repent and prepare your hearts. The Prince of Peace and King of Kings is about to arrive to collect up His Bride.


If my pictures and biblical posts were offensive, then let my words of Truth this Morning, proclaim Him Lord and serve to let you know, I am a willing servant of Jesus Christ willing to endure that which the world and this country wish to place upon my shoulders in His Name!


For He came to divide, the world from the pure. While He is a God of Love, the doctrinal truth of that love is foreign to man, unless he truly seek the One that Hold Truth in His Heart and His Hand.


He has showered us with His Love for nearly 2000 years in this age of Grace. Soon, He will shower the earth with True Judgment, and no man will escape His Righteousness, accept those called to Himself. Christ came to save the world, but, the world as a whole, would have Him NOT.


I challenge all Christians that read this post and hear my voice to fan the fire of your Faith, come alive and awake from your slumber, get dressed and square away your affairs, for the Son of God, our Groom is standing and waiting for the Father's call to "Go Get My Children"!!!

Choosing Sides...

To My Dear Children, Family & Friends - Read this...

 This message is presented to those of you that claim Christ and declare they believe and follow Jesus...

If you read this, and the Holy Spirit does not clearly show you it's Spiritual meaning, contact me or your Pastor and talk about it... Talk about where you are Spiritually. Talk about where the world is in relevance to Biblical prophesy and our involvement as Followers of Christ. Then talk about Spiritual complacency and how to wake up...

Jesus said we "must" choose sides, for He came to divide. Time is short, the mission is simple, Love your neighbors, show Mercy, Forgive folks that offend you, shower them in Grace & Humility, Restore broken relationships, then Speak The Truth with Love and Devotion. Share the Good News, plant seed, God will do the rest. Choose the High Ground - there is No Middle Ground - only death for the unrepentant Heart... For Christ came to divide the world between Truth & Lie, and between Light & Darkness... Our actions, deeds, words, determine the content of a man or woman's Heart. You Can Not Love Jesus and embrace the world. You can Not follow Jesus and conform to the worlds counsel - they are incompatible.

This is The Gospel, The Word of GOD...  Read and let it minister to your Hearts...

Luke 12:49-53 “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

2 Timothy 3:1-7 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

John 14:1-7 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

Psalm 147:3-6 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

Romans 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:5-11 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

1 John 1:8-10 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Allow your hearts to be humbled before the throne room of God, and ask Christ to minister this message to your hearts and preach His Word to you. Time grows short, you must choose your Master with all that you are, there is NO middle ground... There is NO middle ground, and you Must choose, regardless to what others have told you or teach.

Exodus 32:25-29 Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies, then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.” So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day. Then Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.”

Hebrews 9:15, 27-28 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. And as it is appointed for men to die once,  *but after this the judgment,* so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Will you stand with me for The Lord, the choice is freely yours, but I must March forward, with you by my side, or with you standing on your own and to the rears...

Regardless, I Love You, and I will continue to pray for you... However; I believe the Face Book interface will be left behind with the ways of the world. Relationships were meant to be in person, offering the right hand of fellowship... Not through a Spiritual and Emotional devoid electronic media...  It is good for keeping in touch - not conducive to real deep relationship - which is what Christ & Christianity is all about...

Good Day & God Bless...
