It holds a variety of Christian themes
about Jesus, salvation, global
day of prayer, blah blah blah; you know the usual tacky Christian attempt to witness to unsuspecting motorists who
are forced to see this massive sign against their will and resent the fact that they have to look up and see not Coca - Cola, but «Jesus

I
am ashamed of the way I judge those I deem judgmental, the way I stumble through my
day without prayer, the way I issue praises to heaven in one breath and curse my brothers in the next, the way I talk a big game

are two wonderful things that give me a positive wow factor every

about because it
's too dam busy running itself.

about Jesus, and how He RESOLVED to live among the Samaritans for two

is the one that shows and engages in compassion.

And, oh, when the hour - glass has run out, the hourglass of time, when the noise of worldliness
is silenced, and the restless or the ineffectual busyness comes to an end, when everything
is still
about thee as it
is in eternity — whether thou
wast man or woman, rich or poor, dependent or independent, fortunate or unfortunate, whether thou didst bear the splendor of the crown in a lofty station, or didst bear only the labor and heat of the
day in an inconspicuous lot; whether thy name shall
be remembered as long as the world stands (and so
was remembered as long as the world stood), or without a name thou didst cohere as nameless with the countless multitude; whether the glory which surrounded thee surpassed all human description, or the judgment passed upon thee
was the most severe and dishonoring human judgement can pass — eternity asks of thee and of every individual among these million millions only one question, whether thou hast lived in despair or not, whether thou
wast in despair in such a way that thou didst not know thou
wast in despair, or in such a way that thou didst hiddenly carry this sickness in thine inward parts as thy gnawing secret, carry it under thy heart as the fruit of a sinful
love, or in such a way that thou, a horror to others, didst rave in despair.

time for me to leave my country for 5 years study (medical field)... and while i
am i that country (China) once i intercourse with a prostitute (i
am really shamefull)... then after few times i found another girl in facebook (from my hometown only) then fall in
love with her and that
loves get stronger
day by
day (she
is a christian) and i told her that im not virgin and i had this girlfriend and i did with prostitute so she forgives me and ask me to lie new life... but still i havent leave my e girl friend (i found difficult to leave her, i do nt
love her much, but i do nt know how i
love her in first place, she
is much older than me), my ex gf came to suspects
about my new relationship via facebooks post, comments, likes and all and sometimes i did told her that i have this new friend... as time passes by, she realised it and she do nt talk to me anymore till now... and last time i went home i met my new girl friend and we intercourse....
Rick the more i think
about it we
are to live as overcomers not strugglers since the
day i decided to turn away from the sin that
was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns not once,
was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area
is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i
am weak but in you i
am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do nt feel bad.Struggling
is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i
was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it
was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the
day went well i
was on a high if it did nt i would would
be down.Not any more now when things do nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who
love the Lord.The main area he
is wanting
is our hearts he wants all our heart not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this
is not to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast
about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to
be an overcomer just as he would want you to
be.As Christians we
are all called to
be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you
are holding onto that
are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can
be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year
be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz
Noni and all those who find themselves ostracised or slandered unfairly firstly God
loves you and you
are special to him you
are his children his daughters and sons do nt ever forget that so you
are not alone in fact you
are the apple of his eye and he
loves you.No matter what people say
about you it does nt change the fact that he
loves you and will protect you just abide in him he will strengthen you in your weakness.Never think you
are alone we have the holy spirit and have other believers even though we may not go to church together we
love the Lord just as much as you do which means we
are brothers and sisters in Christ.Just trust him and take each
day as it comes he promises to never leave us or forsake us.He has given us his strength in our weakness so that like him we
are overcomers the head not the tail.Keep asking the Lord what it
is he wants you to do and
be obedient though it may
be hard but in the end it will prove good for you for the Lord
is for you not against you.regards brentnz
It
's that living under law thing that kills us (the Spirit gives life but the letter kills), trying to live up to standards and rules, principles and guidelines, etc... The church these
days has pretty much no idea what grace even
is, and if you start talking
about God
's love, I mean his real
love based only on Christ
's merit, people call you a heretic.

day long we «
love people, we
love Christ, we care

about women and slaves, for example,
were huge movements toward
love in the
days when the law

days, lifting our total selves to God and asking God to deal with us out of steadfast
love.
