"The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands." ~Martin Luther
@PastorMark The Holy Spirit shows up all the time where He isn't welcome, moron, you and I and billions of others never woulda met God if not. You think you welcome the Holy Spirit when you sin? No, the Holy Spirit is not regulated by you. So please, stop, stop acting as if you are God.
@pudicat11@cjohnsonn0311 Great point brother man. We worship ourselves more than anything or anyone else... I forgot that part. If we worship God at all it's all grace beginning to end and anything in between.
@cjohnsonn0311 And the idols we have vary. It's very tempting to think of an idol as a statue, or, say, a shrine. Calvin likened our hearts to idol factories and was spot on. Wondering what my friend @pudicat11 thinks...
And when you've broken someone's heart or they've broken yours (can be both ways at same time), really all you can pray for is the power to forgive and God's unique ability to heal the heart (see Isaiah 61:1).
@TfabEliza @pudicat11 He is a pastor you run away from. Anyone occasionally or regularly (let alone constantly) challenging you to look to yourself and your behavior to gauge if you are saved ...has no business leading a church (or a bible study in a garage).
@pudicat11 thought I'd heard it all. From lukewarm Christians to bad Christians ...to you name it. Now we have disobedient ones and... obedient ones. So my guess is JMac is gotta be on the correct side of that equation ...how does he get away with this malpractice, seriously? Disgusting.
