God cannot help the self-sufficient. Mercy and grace belong to those who have come to the end of their own resources. Last comment came from a Canadian in Scotland. I want to focus on being bold for Jesus, but I need some help. If we are not bold, we are luke warm - the devil doesn't mind if we want to be a Christian as long as we aren't noisy about it.
Any help is appreciated.
Your comments and your prayers and both appreciated. I especially like the thought of celebrating the good done by previous pastors and the notion of Jesus sympathizing with our disappointments. I think this is a verticle approach to God and not a horizontal approach to others. Now Jesus says, come through me and don't be bashful about it, afterall it's the throne of grace and not law. It's just one of my beef's I guess.
