I suppose i am. Grew up always believing. Dont push it though. But if somebody asks or seeks ill point em in the right direction.
Do understand those new to The Lord may be a bit excited or even pushy and may have errors in their understanding.
Thats OK.
But when the town whore and druggy come up and claim to know it all and try to save me, wont leave my doorstep, yeah......i find that offensive.
Had an old timer that was pretty wild until a few yrs back, claim i wasny saved due to some colorful language i used. Told him ive been right way longer than he has and for him to not be judgemental, esp when it was over minor things.
As United Methodists, we are instructed to go forth, and share the Gospel/Good news.
Even to folks that don't want to hear it?
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
2 Corinthians speaks as to how in Christ we are made new. I really hope that those who knew me here and the things I used to post as opposed to the person see the difference between now & then
Here is a message from our pastor directed partly to recent hi-Skool grads regarding being saved and Gods truth:
Psalm 19:14-May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. _ Humble servant of Jesus Christ. Living His plan and praying to show it in name, word, body, and light.
Pretty sure MacArthur is a strong Calvinist and believes in the TULIP concept. Irresistible grace. I'm not even sure why he would ask such a question since it is not accomplished by choice according to the reformed TULIP position.
Yes, I've accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
Amen!!!

There's a god. I am a firm believer. saved? I was Baptized, that was 45 years ago. I've been around the world in both directions more than a few times. 16 countries last count. I've been exposed to Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity (more than 1 denomination) and a little Taoism, I'm not so sure Christianity got it exactly correct. Humans have been worshipping "something" for 10,000 or more years (depending on who you ask, because before writing it's hard to tell).
Christianity is roughly 2000 years old. hmmm. the Jews tell a good story, gotta give them that much.
I believe that Jesus died for my sin and rose from the dead. I have no doubts whatsoever. And for me, following Jesus has as much or more to do with this life as it does the next.
