I am sure you heard of him, seen him...I noticed him thanks to a post of P.D. here
Nick Vujicic
I Love Living Life. I Am Happy.
There are so many amazing clips with him...how he ministers to the youth to encourage them.God bless him mightily...
Whenever I feel down, I think of others who have it much worse than me and it cures me pretty soon...besides the Word and prayer of course...
I would love to answer more detailed...do that probably tomorrow...a lot is along the line of dieing daily...we are dead to sin according to the Word and having Him in our life...being born again...but I figure the old self is being noticed once in a while for lack of dieing daily...He has to increase...I have to decrease...John the Baptist's saying...love not the world is evident from 1.John...otherwise the love of the father is not in us...surrendering...letting loose not looking back to Sodom and Gommorah...knowing that judgement has to be and it also starts with the house of God.No chastening for the present time seemeth to be joyful for the present time...nevertheless afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto us...when exercised thereby.Romans 7 is puzzling to many theologians as what Paul meant...his life/our life prior to getting saved or until we're relieved from here...
I've been on catholic websites...who claimed, that all our sins of the past are forgiven until the moment of accepting HIM as Saviour...but they are ambiguous/unclear about the ones afterwards...the letter of Hermas (not in the NT-canon) is also "strange"...after salvation you can just sin only once big time...of course the libertinists have it very wrong too...the church of Corinth easily comes to mind...Sin ...unrepented bogs you down...but I don't believe in the holiness movements creed to be at one special time victorious over all sin...only in and through HIM...by yieldedness and if we fall we're supposed to get up again with HIS help...
The subject is very important...because Exers are often plagued with guilt of having forsaken the plow etc....then comes John 10...Hebrews 6 & 10 plus the sins which make you not inherit the kingdom of God 1.Cor. 6...wrongly taken you bound for very deep discouragement.
Sorry for all the typos etc....love to exchange posts/views with you...you're precious in my & His sight...God bless you...have to go
