Wow this is one of the best posts I’ve read on FR in recent memory at least. True words for every Christian. Thank you.
Please pray for me as I pray for you.
If it’s good, it’s because I have learned a vision of the Lord, sometimes even against my own will. I keep on trying to box the Lord in and He keeps on finding some way to break out of that box.
Some of the disputes within Christendom that men consider so large that they won’t even worship together except in certain combinations, look very small to the Lord. He is the patient Teacher and leads us steadily, if we are willing, out of what is wrong, most graciously forgiving us for the wrong as we go, into what is right because He made it right from the beginning.
And also as a kind of nonconformist here on FR, I have been moved to the conclusion that liberals are often not so much wrong, as that they have their cast of characters all mixed up. They tend to try to get secular authorities into a business that ought to be known as belonging to Christianity and even other privately benevolent world faiths (though the other faiths may be wrong in their particulars, they still serve as a dim, metaphorical illustration of the grace of God). We don’t need this, which is an attempt to fill a spiritual vacuum the wrong way. We don’t need pan-welfare states. We need small, simple, dedicated governments that leave room for the grace of God in private spheres.
But most certainly the Lord bless you to living a life wrapped with and filled with Himself...
