ahhh.... we are the red-headed stepchild... :mdrmdr: Well, I did always want to be a redhead and I am part Irish... Lol. Those of us who have been at this for decades have learned patience and hopefully have honed a discerning spirit. Again, many deceiving spirits abound. The mods have done a wonderful job keeping this site safe. Though censorship is sometimes needed, long term members who have revealed their hearts and spirits as God glorifying should enjoy a modicum of latitude. IMHO Again the freedom of agreeing to disagree is always helpful. Punitive actions for parsing of word usage is over the top. We can attempt to control deceiving spirits and teachings but not anticipated individual feelings of ruffled feathers for any given individual, or be harshly dogmatic about punctuation protocol. This is where wisdom is needed. Knowing when to employ the letter of the law and when to appreciate the direction of one's spirit! TR I was once mostly a redhead, ok, so not a carrot redhead, or a bright red, redhead, but very auburn with tons of red highlights as related to that Irish strain as referenced by my daughter. Now, I’m just full on wisdom. Proverbs 16:31 “Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.” although not gray but white, is that a higher form of wisdom, I wonder.... I so digress! Very squirrel moment...yes TR, discernment with decades of watching and waiting, discerning the signs that are certainly exploding all around us. Per my earthquake app, the birth pains seem to revving up once again... :popcorn :prayer-hands: :flyup: Again, visiting Rapture websites is not about it being a contest. Not about being right. But rather it is a statement that reveals the longing of our heart! I do so appreciate those who consecrate so much time and effort in their studies and are willing to share! For me it's more about getting to know who I will share eternity with. Because the Lord has called me into His grace, I will forever be grateful. Having done nothing to achieve or deserve it! A psalm here, a prayer there and to be able to offer insight or encouragement is all that I can offer. As such I am grateful for this site that offers me that forum. Sad that more don't avail themselves likewise! Let the Lord be glorified in all! TR To my RITAN family, hanging on by a spiritual thread.... Galatians 6:9 “We must not get tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time. We must not give up.” (ERV) Let us not fall by the way side as part of the great falling away, take heart, for our redemption is closer today than ever before, the signs are everywhere, and we are looking up, Our wicks are trimmed, our oil in full while remaining busy about the Father’s business of prayer, witnessing, and faithfulness to Gods Word. We are to encourage one another to remain steadfast! It’s no longer a time to post when we may think the rapture will occur, as it is at the door, eminent— it is more of a matter of helping each other to remain strong in the Lord. Hang-n-there! We so already got this, now let’s bring others along. :prayer-hands:
If you have not watched the Nov 10 sermon on JD’s site, you need too! It brought strong convictions that we cannot quit, we must put off ourselves and be about our Fathers business!
