No, I'm not a politician, are you a comedian? well, I'm still laughing. Perhaps I'm way out in left field on this one, but isn't there an element in every writer that drives them to want to share their treasures with the world? I don't believe I have ever judged anyone and set out to straighten them out (ask my own brothers). I write what surfaces and if you feel judged by that perhaps you should take a second look at why you might feel that way.
I am at a bit of a disadvantage here because of what the world perceives us to be. There is also much mis-understanding in the world concerning Jesus Christ. It takes faith to believe in Christ. It takes faith to believe in the church. It takes faith to stand for truth and righteousness. The Bible is not merely a collection of books; it is a collection of faith. It takes faith to believe, it takes faith to understand, it takes faith to move mountains. So if there is some kind of mountain between me and you, how can we use faith to remove it?
we come to PBF to promote and explore faith. And even as I have pondered and written what I have tonight my faith has increased. When we verbally testify of christ our faith increases. when we write of christ our faith increases. Am I the only one who comprehends this? Point of truth: Faith can have an increase in an individual. It can grow as a seed, and has been compared to a grain of mustard which is the least significant of all seeds, yet when properly nourished grows to be a giant well rooted plant, capable of replentishing, like faith.
I am trying to justify reasoning, but as you can see, it is difficult to put into words. Perhaps you might say exactly what you think I think I meant.
