My faith isn't enough. Nothing about me is enough.

This is why I'm hiding in Him, for He is more than sufficient!

I'd like to see you in my eternal home someday too FRiend.

Trust in Christ and nothing else.

Trust in Christ and nothing else.

Amen. We are agreed. We just have different ideas about HOW to Trust in Christ.

Someday I will have to tell you my personal testimony about the incredible graces I have experienced participating in the sacraments. Through the sacrament of Confession, the Lord took away my desire for pornography -- it does nothing for me now. Those demons were chased away. Participation in the Sacrament of the Eucharist has transformed my life. I hear and read the Word and I also eat His Body and Drink His Blood. What a tremendous gift it is, for me, to stand before the Eucharist and KNOW, before me, that IS My Lord present materially in the flesh in the re-representation of His Sacrifice on Calvary. Wow! And to take the hidden manna of His Flesh into MY Body -- how can I not be changed? It brings me to my knees. I wish you could have that experience just once, and then maybe, just maybe you might understand where I'm coming from...

Sadly though, many Catholics take the Eucharist but do not really believe. They eat and drink judgment upon them selves, says the Word of God. I pray the Lord will be merciful with them -- I was once there myself.

God bless.

Thought you both might be interested in this...Good Works, from a Baptist perspective:

http://www.grbc.net/about_us/1689.php?chapter=16

A sample:

“16.3 Their ability to do these good works does not in any way come from themselves, but entirely from the Spirit of Christ. To enable them to do good works (besides the graces they have already received) they require the actual influence of the Holy Spirit to cause them to will and to do his good pleasure. Yet are they not on this account to become negligent, nor to think that they are not required to perform a duty unless given a special impulse of the Spirit; rather, they ought to be diligent in stirring up the grace of God that is in them.”
