Just a thought Brother.I have grown over the years.There are things I used to do that I will never do.There are things that I don't do that people teach against but I never understood why until God put it into me Himself.Even though the church I go to is very liberated in alot of ways and very merciful I am the same.I do have
more compassion for others though not hearing them bashed daily over the pulpit as some have to endure. I don't mind hard preaching though.I have hard flesh to deal with and need it.I know what I am.I need a good talking to once in a while.
Thank God for the preacher.We could not be saved if we followed the dictates of our flesh.The Rabbi lives on the inside when you have the Holy Ghost.We may ignore His voice but when we hear it on the inside and the pulpit comfirms it on the outside then we know God is talking to us.Its a wake up call.
Brother Rico we just went to the graveyard and they laid down the body of one of my husbands best friends.I cannot tell you how I felt when they closed the lid.He was only in his late forties.We did not expect him to die.Even though we know he went to be with Jesus as he loved God all the way through it was a sad thing.
We have to face our own mortality.I want to be saved no matter what.That is the most important thing.Go to church where you can be saved and stay saved.That is the most important thing.
