The joy that surpasses all understanding. Q.E.D.
I didn't bother to address my posts to you.
Here's what Elijah was up against:
Business As UsuAL
There's nothing new under the sun.
Jesus showed up as the maverick solution to business, and look what happened to him.
If the crucifixion weren't bad enough, it was a living parable that portrayed the 2000 years that were to follow.
Looking to the cross, it's not a pretty sight.
The man's visage has been so marred that he doesn't even resemble a man.
The wisdom of the wise is like Haman's gallows.
"How to Lose Your Joy"

There's no going back. It's a great view from here. It's the place where mountains really do fall into the sea, because that's exactly what happens when looking down from 40,000 ft. up.
Pffft.
As for why I pinged pastorbillrandles -- perhaps, just perhaps, there's a mustard seed lying around here somewhere that fell into a cup of good soil.
Phil predicted an early Spring. Word is, he's more wrong than right, but even a broken clock...
Which is funny, with so many people trying to discern the time of the end. It's the simple meaning.
Doesn’t matter if you posted them to me or not.
This is an open forum and if you post a comment on it, then ANYONE is free to respond..
And this post isn’t any better and it’s not got a thing to do with joy that surpasses all understanding or that you have some spiritual insight that others don’t have.
It’s just downright incoherent.
Put down your thesaurus; step away and raise your hands.
We don't want no trouble here.
