Amen!

I totally agreed with what Brother Mark stated and I too was convicted and encouraged through things I have gone through in the last 1 1/2 years. It is so easy to justify, blame, or just flat out deny our sinful state, but Heb 4:12-13

12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

It isn't always easy to speak the truth when we are revealed a truth that exposes sin in ourselves, or in another, but those who "Truly" Love Him and mankind will be willing to lay down their lives to please HIM.

Heed truth and guard our hearts as it is so easy to get caught up in the cares of the world and our own sinful nature.

We will all fall short from time to time and some will fall hard, but we have an advocate with the Father Christ Jesus. When you fell off of a bicycle did you just say "forget it I can't do it", or did you get back on and start riding again. I pray each one of you who has fallen off of their bike "MINISTRY" will climb back up to the Lord, let him patch your wounds and then climb back up on the bike and start riding again.

May our failures become opportunities to invite Christ into our conversations and lives where those who have no hope can see through our examples that Jesus is alive and is the Son of God.

I appreciate all that participate with this forum as it is a great tool to sharpen each other continually.

In Christ Jesus,

Brother Ty
