Humbly, In agreement with Tammie. You are VERY gifted in your writing skills and ministering to us. Even though you might not see breakthrough yet with your unsaved family, friends and co-workers, please don’t get discouraged ... just keep letting your light shine. The Lord is faithful and will be answering your prayers. I just said a prayer for them as well. Keep looking up. :yes: Humbly I agree with you, in that I hope whatever I can contribute here will be a blessing to others. My heart has always been for the saints who are walking that narrow road. For as I struggle in this life to work out my own salvation, I know that everyone else does so as well. But truly light will fellowship with light, while exposing the darkness! I have to mostly trust lost souls to the unction of the Holy Spirit. TR I never understood this verse of what Paul is trying to say ... :feedback Phil. 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. My take is: since Paul makes clear points elsewhere regarding works, (Ephesians 2:8-9 for example), that we are well advised to recognize the power and majesty of God -- "fearing God." That's no different from how it always was from the beginning and always will be. Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 5:6-7, wrote, "Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands? For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear." We need to be very careful then, constantly seeing God as Almighty -- the one to whom we must give account. Maybe humbly, like an obedient child working intently to please his or her father and mother. Therefore the Philippians admonition... Thank you all for your kind words, and Geri7, I truly appreciate your prayers for my family, friends, and co-workers who are lost without a clue as to what is coming upon them if they don't change their hearts very soon for Jesus! Your pal-soon-to-be-forever-in-Heaven, Humbly
