I so agree that the truth does not lie in the words of the broken vessel but in the Great Healer God Himself and that is where we must look to find the answers we need. He is not surprised by the situation and is never surprised by the outcome as well. I do agree that we should not rely on the pastors to be only source of feeding from the Word but I also must say that another's relationship with me is what brought me to the church as well. Once I was there it was important for me to be taught that ALL are broken vessels but until I got there I could not see that.a.helmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492680913695068203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34341985.post-34074075395767476172008-08-21T22:34:00.000-04:002008-08-21T22:34:00.000-04:00Very well put!

When they hear stories like this, it creates doubts. That is why learning and reading the bible on your own and not depending on the church to "feed you", is so important. That article reminds me of the video and song by Poison called "Something To Believe In". <BR/><BR/>"Well I see him on the TV<BR/>Preaching about the promised land<BR/>he tells me believe in Jesus<BR/>steals the money from my hands<BR/>some say he was a good man<BR/>Lord I think he sinned.... yeah"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34341985.post-68230517927569754282008-08-21T13:25:00.000-04:002008-08-21T13:25:00.000-04:00JoshI'm not aware of the controversy you speak of ...Josh<BR/><BR/>I'm not aware of the controversy you speak of here. But your post got me to thinking about something..<BR/><BR/>"Blessed be the Lord, my rock,<BR/>who trains my hands for war,<BR/>and my fingers for battle;" Psalm 144:1<BR/><BR/>"But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me on the earth." 1st Chronicles 22:8 <BR/><BR/>How would you reconcile these two verses? It's not a trick question, it just got me thinking. And here's my thought: I believe God decrees all things that come to pass, yet He is not the author of evil. These two truths are somewhat of a mystery yet they are not contradictory. Whaddaya' think?<BR/><BR/>GriffChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739821926240052732noreply@blogger.com
