There is nothing new under the sun. If Jesus were walking the earth among us today, the same sorts of legalistic "works" mentalities would be condemning him for hanging around with those "other people" that they considered to be the eeeeevil "sinners".
When it all gets boiled down to the essence of what makes them tick, there are only two religions in the whole world, and that's a fact.
Oh, I wish I could give you a big bunch of fireworks right here!
Absolutely THE best summation of what is going on on this thread; bar none!
I just know these very same people would be talking about Jesus hanging around with 12 guys and wearing "dresses," not to mention all that "charity" work he did to help the poor and needy!
You made my day.
Godd Morning!
Several years ago we had John in our home to spend the night. Mr Pilgrim had to take him to the airport.
I started listening to his tapes not long after the Lord opened my heart to the gospel of grace, over 30 years ago!
I loved listening to him.
Just recently we emailed back and forth because we had lost touch.
I since... have not found his email address due to a computer crash and lost all email addresses. Do you have it?
We knew him on tape and in sermons, more than he knew us.
He will not know, until we are all before the Lord, how he ministered to me!
Thank you for surprising me this morning with his sermon.
To God be the glory...............Great things hath He done!
