Tommy God has already forgiven you for your sin the moment you asked Jesus into your life and confessed him as Lord.From that point he paid for your sin in full past present future.It is not sin that stops us from being with the Lord so you are saved.The problem you are experiencing is the battle for your life in the here and now satan is out to destroy you and he knows our weaknesses.If you are honest there were already issues in your life that you struggled with and never got the victory over.So where do you go from here as i found myself in the same situation i was a christian but walking according to the flesh.God does nt change his mind he always
loves us but because
of our choices we distance ourselves from God.The issue is that we like sin thats our wicked hearts and to be fair we cant change our nature only Christ can do that our old nature must be crucified with Christ.The stumbling block is our pride we have to admit that we cant do it For me that was terribly difficult i was so independent thinking i could do anything but the truth was a made a real mess
of things.I sense you are at a crossroads and are
feeling desperate and confused.So as a brother in the Lord you need to confess your sin to God and tell him that you are weak -LCB- we all are -RCB- and that you cant do it in your strength -LCB- None
of us can -RCB- but ask him to send the holy spirit to help you deal with the temptations and the sin that you struggle with and he will help you to change your life he will empower you as he did me.Rather than look at who you are look to Christ and walk in him and he will make you a new man and sin will not have dominion over you.Jesus
came to set us free from bondage.Having once been a slave to sin i know what it is like to have been set free by the power
of God and that is what Christ is offering you today.All it takes is a desire to change or repent and admit we cant do it and trust him to give you the strength to walk in him regards brentnz

of Jesus.It really makes christmas for me.If we
love Jesus that should spill out into every area
of our lives.He is the one that impacts others through us as we rely on him daily.Merry Christmas to you and your family regards brentnz

of the question.
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
Yet, as Bishop Spong points out, if it was a gay male who taught the Christian church what the

of gratitude.
The implicit equation

In the later 1950s, as I matured within the

come from someone who shared my predicament.
But religious
love is only man's natural emotion
of love directed to a religious object; religious fear is only the ordinary fear
of commerce, so to speak, the common quaking
of the human breast, in so far as the notion
of divine retribution may arouse it; religious awe is the same organic thrill which we
feel in a forest at twilight, or in a mountain gorge; only this time it
comes over us at the thought
of our supernatural relations; and similarly
of all the various sentiments which may be called into play in the lives
of religious persons.
Since the nature and function
of literature as I saw it was to acquaint us with the «
felt» experience
of life, to enlarge our sympathies and, quicken our sensibilities, and since the primary commandment

came at the point
of living out our faithfulness.
Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I
love the people and i
love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was
coming from and thats okay because
of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part
of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change in my life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do to knowing who i was in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time in everything.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two years since i did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt
feel pressured by others expectations to do anything that
feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you
feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz
Part
of her stated reason for remaining outside the church was that she feared elements

Jeremy good message and quite relevant for today God is still looking at our hearts and motives for serving him or are we serving our own agenda as Jonah was.He did nt
feel compassionate towards his enemies and who could blame him they had cruelly killed many Jews it was a question
of life or death to his own people.The Jewish nation was no more deserving
of Gods grace than the other nations that is revealed by sending Jonah to preach a message
of hope and life.Ultimately God calls all by faith in him and is willing to be merciful to all nations and peoples that do not not deserve it just like us it is by grace that we all are forgiven.I am pleased that God is sovereign and knows whats best he is merciful to us.Our human nature is that it is better to kill our enemies before they can kill us and that is essentially Jonahs message that is why he struggled to be obedient to Gods will.Gods message is to forgive those that trespass against us and show mercy.Its complicated and it is natural to protect ourselves and our families from those who would seek to destroy them but ultimately its about trusting God with everything easier said than done.If it
comes to a choice we will have to trust God and ask for his strength because we cant do it in ours.As Christ laid down his life for us are we ready to lay our lives and the lives
of our families as a sacrifice for him.To me that is where the story
of Jonah is leading to we have the choice to fight our enemies or to
love them as God
loves them.brentnz

The humanist movement in its turn gave him a confidence in human culture, a
love of the classics and a connatural
feeling for language, for beauty in the form
of words, and for words in their natural setting
of everyday language that eventually flowered in the German Bible, a whole language
coming both to birth and to a first apotheosis — a miracle
of the sixteenth century to set beside the achievement
of Shakespeare in England at the end
