To: Mad Dawg; small voice in the wilderness
Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God. Dawg, we are all imperfect "cracked" vessels ...but it is not the vessel that saves..it is what drips out

The Gospel,even in-artfully delivered or even harshly delivered will still save..because it is the gospel that saved when empowered by the Holy Spirit

I think of John Edwards "Sinners in the hands of an angry God" ..hard hitting , hard to hear ..yet it led to the great revival.. people were offended.. yet many were saved.

There is a basic theological difference in the way we view this.. I do not think man can hinder a work of God..and I believe that it is the Spirit of God that draws..not MY outstanding ..cheerful personality ..(that is a LOL)

I think that is an incorrect way of putting it.

Did Paul waste his time trying to be all things to all people in order that he might save some?
