Brother Joseph and Sister Blue, I know full well I'm abrasive. I live in New Jersey, what can I say? I ask God to soften my heart and guide my steps throughout life, and He constantly answers my prayers.
God's loving Spirit does indeed dwell within me and yet He has also given me the strength to strike down modern day Pharisees who attempt to shut out the Kingdom of Heaven against others.
I'd much rather share the Gospel in loving gentleness, but sadly there are times it needs to be shared with the Full Armor. It is what it is.
