And as quickly as it came it goes again. It is like that for me with grief and tears. I'll do just fine rocking along with the ebbing and flowing of grief, and then a really big wave will wash over me and then it will be fine again.

However, I think we have confused God's law with civil law which are not the same thing. <br /><br />"All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments." I totally agree. The law hangs on love, not the other way around. <br /><br />We must first love people, regardless of where they are whether they be a murderer, an adulterer, or worse, someone who pushes people away from God. We must love them and in our love, God, not us, begins to change their hearts. <br /><br />I do preach on being in right relationship with God because I feel that once we teach people discipleship, teach them how to hear God speak, then God takes care of the rest. <br /><br />God bless you.Yellow Sun Soapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434678812733919129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210849652247264155.post-91287238408840460032012-08-07T12:48:22.029-05:002012-08-07T12:48:22.029-05:00I wonder if you follow your own advice in the pupi...I wonder if you follow your own advice in the pupit.<br />You will not preach on prostitution, drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, adultry, extortion, or any numner of other sins becuase you never know who could be offended in the pews.<br /><br />Does the look of God in the murderers eyes stop you from counceling them on their sin?<br /><br /><br />There is nothing wrond with law.<br />The law kicks in when the conscience is no longer a deterrent.

I'm drawn to the mental/spiritual learning part but sometimes get satisfied there and don't carry through with action. It's hard to become an effective tradesman just by reading/hearing about it. Action leads to experiences that inform and mature our grasp of ideas, as we apply them to the real world.r.g.haysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4210849652247264155.post-27969365518468139782012-07-19T11:37:12.320-05:002012-07-19T11:37:12.320-05:00Thanks David.

I have serious doubts about accurate methods of measurements of effectiveness for either the church or the minister, but forsee many invoking the name of Deity to support any particular position. The nature of the church, as I understand it, implies that it strives for achievement in areas where there are no metrics and to attempt to assess these areas is like explaining why a joke is funny.John L.
