Wonderful service that we thought we were only going to hear via audio feed!<br /><br />Stratagem: Amen to that! I need to keep this perspective in focus, especially at those times when the thought of self-indulgent pagans gleefully blaspheming the Lord in once-Christian institutions get the better of me (and I fall into sin myself in my thoughts!)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930864320573865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-85929483163832080612010-05-09T17:49:03.794-07:002010-05-09T17:49:03.794-07:00Phil: Sounds awful.

Good luck.<br /><br />Caught not taught: An instructive and entertaining parable, brother. Thanks!<br /><br />Chris: Hey those profs may be heretics, but look how easy it makes life for themselves, and how many friends they have... until Jesus comes.

Sadly, the droves of self-absorbed heretics that fill the halls of institutions that were once known for proclaiming and defending the Truth...know and defend their heresies better than those who have the truth (i.e. the unfortunate students who think their professors are actually Christians).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930864320573865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-89996784337240758412010-05-09T15:34:06.839-07:002010-05-09T15:34:06.839-07:00I know of a minister who was once taken to task by...I know of a minister who was once taken to task by his friend about his ministry. <br /><br />His friend's point was that Jesus gave the church the ministry of teaching, and preaching and healing, but in this church there was only teaching and preaching. <br /><br />The friend wanted to know why there was no healing ministry. <br /><br />Being brutally honest, the minister said, "To tell you the truth, when I try it not much happens."<br /><br />His friend's answer was "Well, when you preach and teach not much happens, but that doesn't stop you..."<br /><br />Perhaps the reason that preachers deliver lukewarm messages is that they have forgotten that, as in healing, results depend on God. <br /><br />They don't get because they didn't ask. They assumed that they could do it on their own, and didn't realise they were wrong.Ed de Blieckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677423784583438874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-156305709178720212010-05-09T14:40:30.990-07:002010-05-09T14:40:30.990-07:00may God grant us his strength, and may we be forev...may God grant us his strength, and may we be forever vigilant! 1 Corinthians 16:13, psalm 86:16, 1 peter 5:8gapidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536004531526583121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-18989985200955878852010-05-09T14:32:17.701-07:002010-05-09T14:32:17.701-07:00Yes, but it's working sporadically.
