Good morning! How are we faithing? Having conversations about biblical details and arguable stands on ideas and dogma can be very interesting and faith growing. It can also cast doubt and confusion. Be careful with whom you discuss that it does not become arguing. Jesus is the issue not how to hold your hands when you pray. I talk to so many people that miss Jesus and do church. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." Don't miss Jesus. All the rest is filler. Sure doing church is fine but not at the expense of Jesus. Without Jesus, church is an idol. Without Jesus' sacrifice, we are all still condemned. So when you discuss, argue, exchange ideas, don't be misled to think these positions will save you, only Jesus does that. "I do good and I am a member of this or that church" is not salvation nor does it have any bearing on entrance into heaven. Good works are a manifestation of salvation, not the other way around. Now that statement can lead to a discussion about good works leading to Jesus and that position does have some merit but it is not always the case. Finding Jesus and good works follow IS always the case. One cannot help but have good works show up in their life when they know Jesus. They may not be visible to us but then what we think of that person doesn't matter to God anyways. All this is for you to think and to see Jesus and to seek Jesus and not "being good"." There are none righteous, no not one" is said in the scriptures so if that be the case, why would we ever try to attain goodness out side of Jesus? The Word tells us that none come to the father but by Jesus so why would anyone even attempt that? The lies from the pit of hell...the father of lies...falling for his ploys, that is why. Discuss particulars but be humble and admit if you don't know. Talk about particulars but not at the expense of alienating a soul from God. Your convictions are yours and may not be someone elses. You may be at a point in your spiritual maturity that is at a different place than who you are talking to. I have my views on the last days and the great tribulation but I sure would not bet my life on those particulars. The only thing I am steadfast on is Jesus died for me...and you.

Prov 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man,But its end is the way of death.
NKJV

1 Peter 1:24-25
For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that is always true and just. Lord help us see you ways and to seek you in everything. Lord, grant us wisdom and a keen sense of folly and truth. Thank you for all the blessings and help us see the path that we are to be on in life. Lord, we ask you be in the face of those who are lost. Lead them to your loving arms...protect our leaders, troops, emergency workers, kids and our minds, in Jesus name, amen
