Re: A Sense of Dread

Back to the premise of this thread. I always have a feeling of dread right after I have eaten something from Taco Bell. I guess it is because I know I am going to be feeling that meal in various ways for the next several days. Never the less it is still "dread" I feel.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Not especially. It's always good to pray for the lost however.

It is God's desire to search out the righteous when there is impending destruction. The twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed but the messengers of God went for and to seek out as many righteous as would be saved. It is the will of God to pray especially for the righteous. This is principle is seen throughout the Word of God beginning with Noah and on through the ages.

If the sufferings were not exploited by hype and news media, do you suppose that would in the least diminish the suffering, the loss and desperation? It matter not to me that there are media outlet that exploit it for their own profits. So what? The suffering lingers on anyway.



You are certainly free to think whatever you wish...including every happy thought that you can conger up in your mind. I would love to be assured that all 10,000 souls are now singing in glory. That would be a happy thought. Forgive me for being unable to bring myself to such a land of imaginary utopia. Even if they were all with the Lord at this point, the soul wrenching agony over so many lost loved ones are enough to make angels weep....including me. But, you keep all those happy thoughts.





At least those 10K have no choice. The unspeakable devastation which affects will be painful for decades to come can be somewhat minimized by "happy thoughts" if they could but catch on to this philosophy. I would suggest you go there and teach them how to think and be forever free of all care. You could call your road show, "How To Think and Grow Happy and Cheery." I'm sure it would change everything.



hahaha.... Too much juice for one treatment, Dr. P.

Luffa ya, eeniehow.
