Your right! either absolutely right, or absolutely wrong<G>
There are absolutes! But LOVE conquers all!
The gospel in a word is LOVE... and the world is waiting for LOVE
to be shown in word and deed, not from a system of beliefs, but
from the natural up-welling of the Holy Spirit displayed in our
words, actions and faith!
*Others have faith, and we constantly trip over our views, prejudgements
and profileing of them<G> We build little walls and hide behind them,
then pop up to take a pot shot!
(*prepare for pot shot! THIN ICE!)
I've grow up and had a *personal fill of fire -breathing "holyroller"
eletists who manipulate the emotions of simple folks... I've had my fill
because the real challenge isn't casting out demons in Jesus name..
..or raiseing Revival fire to 'shake,rattle and roll!
That's easy!
The real challenge is showing God's love to everyone in the world!
The real challege is to open the door to a boy for him to walk through
and see him choose a "wonderfilled life" My GMA son dosen't have
to become a AG minister or attenc central Bible College.. He don't
even have to become a Royal Ranger Commander...
What I want him to remember is the "beautiful life" and become a
Man,Husband,Father and Son.. allways with God's help!
*Because I don't need to 'tell him the way to go, as much as *lead
him straight... I feel it is his decision, informed and honest that will
guide him.
A big part of my AG heritage was spent looking down on "pre-trib"
folks or those with faith in "eternal security" or feeling closer to God
for allowing the "full gospel" ,while our hearts were turned against
fellowship with other belevers. Even RR had a current of disrespect
for Boy Scouting as we considered they had 'sold-out to the world!
Today- The United Way is cutting BSA from funding for it's
"conservitive 'right wing beliefs and Religious bias"
*Interesting huh....
