@Phil_Johnson_@JoelWBerry ..stay in the fight, people! I learned this the hard way, and only by God's grace stayed to witness His kindness in showing me my own sin.
@Phil_Johnson_@JoelWBerry No truer words. The local church has been, I believe, the most misunderstood component of Christiandom and God's means of grace in our sanctifiation. Just what are we doing here? We are in a spiritual battle & the fellowship of the church is the battlefield..
@anahnemoo "Ehh??"
We made a "pact" that neither of us are obligated to acknowledge the long distance holler. If it's important enough, we gotta move to acceptable hearing distance..the older you get the less that distance becomes ๐คช๐
@AndrewClover3 MacArthur's series on the book of Daniel is quite excellent (fwiw). Listened to it a couple years after God made me a believer.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Cloves!
@NatePickowicz It's awful (depending on the reason). Like a divorce.I say this as one committed to the local church with all its faults and messiness. It's similar to a marriage. Eph. 6:12
@Fred_Butler@ImJimR87 In my family (Grampa was full Italian) we always "wet" the spaghetti noodles with some of the sauce skimmed off the top (where the olive oil is) before presenting it for the full-on sauce pour ;)
