Re: Professing people?
Posted by Cynthia on October 22, 2006, 7:00 am, in reply to "Professing people?"|
this is a response to someone on another site. it didn't show up so i'm hoping that somehow it'll show up here. I don't have much of a response to all you've said, but I do have some things to say... Conventions on a farm? Jesus was born in a barn, if it was good enough for him, it's sure good enough for us. Speaking before a meeting, decrorating a tree.........drinking wine during the passing of emblems? Very superficial, and if one was to look at each person particating, one would see something very similar. The spirit of god. The spirit leads and those who follow may be of different customs and origans, but something very important stays the same............gods word. Explaining our doctrine? Do you know the meaning of the word "doctrine"? It means "teachings" or "learnings". Gods' servants can't provide pamphlets and booklets when they're asked what our "doctrine" is, because to do so, they would have to turn over a complete bible. How can we be embarassed when someone asks us what our doctrine is? It's very simple. Our doctrine is whatever Jesus taught. What Jesus taught is God's word. There's nothing complicated about it. The world would like to make it complicated, but it's really very, very simple. As for being "too hidden" of a way.....yes, it's hidden to those who don't believe and it's hidden to those who aren't searching. But this way is open to every one. It's open to every sinner, every person who feels desperate for more than what the world can offer them. It's not hidden to those who have a desire in their hearts to know God. Minimizing publicity? Jesus never sought to be known of men. Why? Maybe because he knew that man's glory wasn't anything to be proud of. Maybe he wanted to be sought after for what God promised, not for his own fame. The servants of God have never stood on a platform and told people how to run their lives. If anyone has felt that way after listening to the gospel, it is because God has pricked their conciences with his living word. God's servants are not perfect and they have never proclaimed to be. Jesus, was human and he was the only human to live a perfect life. Gods' servants know this and they try, like the rest of us, to live as Jesus lived. If anyone feels, after listening to the gospel, that their lives are lacking in certain ways, it is because God has spoken to them. They are very fortunate for that because God doesn't make sin known to everyone. Just those who are searching. Why doesn't he make sin known to every person? I can't answer that. I don't have the knowledge. In gospel meeting this week we sang hymn 271. "I know not why god's wondrous grace to me he did impart, nor why, unworthy of such love, he bought me for his own" the third verse reads "I know not how the spirit moves, convincing men of sin, revealing Jesus through the word, creating faith in him". I'm not sure if you have the same hymns, but the ones I sing in meetings are scriptual. I know God hears them and they're like prayers. It was spoken of in gospel meeting recently....how does a seed know not to start growing when it's sitting on a shelf in a store? how does it know to start growing when its planted in soil and watered? we don't know how God's way works, we only know that it does. I will never forget that meeting and will never forget Gwen Fibke saying those words. My heart is thankful for that meeting. My thoughts and prayers are with whomever is reading this tonight.
Cynthia.
