God is to be feared, but only because of our lack of understanding. Hence fear God and gain understanding scriptures. Anything that bekons us out of our comfortable understandable selfishness is feared by us, this is why our pension for escapism is such a marketable thing. Movies, T.V., cell phones these computers. Anything that gets us out of our living now. Evidently no one wants to be where they are. Case in point, a whole family waiting in line somewhere, a mother, father their two children all standing right next to each other while talking on their cell phones. Each one talking to ‘someone else’ whos not even ‘there.’ This might be somewhat indicative to our veiw of Heaven possably. To myself this says we are not happy/content with our God given now. I get about the same feeling when I see anyone, but especially a Christian smoke a cigerette. Yes we want eternal life in Heaven. We are in effect running from our own hearts and God given lives. No one calls us out of selfishness like God does. And is why we are so fearful of Him. And we should be for he loves us so much He never stops calling. And just as if we never put the cell phones down we won’t meet our families, if we don’t pick up the phone with God we will never meet ‘everything really.’ There was one friend that knew I owned not a television and this really made him wonder. He invited myself several times to go watch a movie at his place. Only one time I found myself saying yes. We watched ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’. When it was over that friend asked ‘now was that so bad?’ I replied ‘no.’ But I asked him to recall the feeling he had when they finally got past all the junk and met on the fifty yard line as a family, where they all got their priorities right. I asked him was that a good feeling? He said ‘yes.’ I told him the reason I don’t watch T.V. was because I didn’t want to sit around and hope for that feeling, I wished to live that feeling in my everyday being. He is a Christian now. Praise God! In all things be blessed.

linda, I do not want to not be kind and loving. I am just a “loveable little fuzz ball”, but somehow your comment about God’s provision and protection being lifted from LRC and it causes you concern, makes me feel concern for you. I dont believe your “hot line to God” is showing all these revelations. Do you use Verizon or AT$T. You are at a place you feel you are suppose to “show the truth”. Obama has a “teleprompter”, you have a Holy Book that you can not function with out “flipping those pages” and becoming the “enlightener” to Ernie and to the people that have chosen to see God in the way HE SPEAKS TO THEIR HEARTS. How can you, with such a Godly conscience, speak in such a manner. It is not being respectful to a people that have always been there for you, and loving you even through your difficulties. Go
sit on that Throne with all your Crowns, but please dont play God’s police. All you are doing is making people love you but ignore you. Please are not “listening”, but still loving you.

The Lord has assured me His glory will be seen at this church as He displays Himself to be the God of the Bible–merciful, just, and righteous.

Did you not think that maybe the seperation was purposeful. Every one is growing at their own pace. And God is providing just fine. Wait watch and see the glory of the Lord

Paulette, I have seen some good fruit that’s come from the message of loving people and not judging them. I have also seen the fruit of people who have left confused, betrayed, and felt as though the rug had been pulled out from under them by being told the basic truths of the Bible are not reliable. I’ve seen the fruit of God’s people perishing for lack of knowledge and my heart grieves that the truth that sets the captive free is not always proclaimed. I’ve seen some measure of God’s provision and protection being lifted from LRC and that causes me concern.

If a tree is known by it’s fruit. I am very grateful for the message that has been going forth at LRC through the Friday night services, the websites and the women/men meetings during the week. I see the fruit in the lives of the people. Go LRC.

Dan, it depends upon what church you go to as to how much time is spent talking about sin. When I look at the New Testament epistles, the writers said what their readers needed to hear. For example, Romans contains some very strong warnings about unbelief in the first few chapters. Paul goes on to preach the incredible, unbelieveable grace of God in the heart of his letter. He admits in Romans 7:19 that he still struggles with doing the very thing he despises and begins chapter 8 with a joyful shout of being delivered from condemnation. He continues with an exhortation for the Jews to receive the grace of the gospel and concludes with reminding the church to honor authority and serve each other. God gives His people a proper diet in His word and undoubtedly expects His ministers to do the same.

Linda- To me most of the church time is sent on talking about sin and how to control it. Very little is said about the love and grace of God. God’s love is greater then anything and will not fail anyone. This is the gospel.

Cynthia, Paulette, Jesse- You’re all saying it- the four laws of consciousness:
1-You are what you concentrate on
2-What you concentrate on seems real
3-What you concentrate on grows
4-You always find what you concentrate on.

I agree that we don’t need to major on sin, but we do need to pay heed to God’s word so that we don’t give place to the devil. (Eph. 4:27) When my child tells me something she believes that I know is contrary to the truth, I warn her what pursuing this thought pattern could bring in her life. I say what I need to, pray about it, and let God deal with her. To ignore her “red flags” would be unloving, even as constantly nagging her would be controlling. I want her to realize that even though God gives mercy, that may not completely eliminate the consequences of sin. Galatians 6:7 reminds us, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” I’d like to spare my children the pain of a bad harvest as much as is possible. Our Heavenly Father desires that, also.
