This
is going to
be a shock — the men who actually wrote all the

of unleashing the occasional metaphor... in other words the Bible
is not entirely literal — no, you
are supposed to use your imagination... In many cases the disciples didn't actually witness an event — it
was long distance and time altered hearsay — God figured Man could handle that... So don't
be afraid to dilute - God's cool with that — as long as you do the right thing in
life — feed the poor, help your neighbor, don't kill or covet - just
be a good and decent person - smile,
love and give generously... God doesn't need robots — He wants thoughtful individuals who help!!!

was truly to
be an «extreme» christian that person would
be completely
loving as this
was Jesus» command to
love both God and everyone... to take that to the extreme would mean «extreme»

of us all... includinig the man who committed this atrocity and yes any and all
of the muslim's who have committed similar things.

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.

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 implanted
m men's hearts that lifts them above, and yet sends them back into, the community
life of which they
are also a
part, knowing that they have passed from death into
life, because they
love the brethren and
are therefore empowered to bring a stream
of fresh, courageous,
loving life to a sadly disillusioned and despairing world.
