Thanks for the very warm welcome from each of you,
@Adstar
Thank you, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing and one where the aircraft can be used again well that's an exceptional landing!!!
May I ask what does it mean to be a "Hardcore Jesus Follower" to you..........love in Christ Sherril.....
To answer your question Sherril:
To me it means being all in as what the bible describes as Follower of Christ
I just kinda think that the "term" Christian which was first used in the book Acts as a derogatory term that today it's become "watered down".
We don't hear about though they're out there of course, but doing so very quietly, but the folks like described in Hebrews 11, the champions of faith, yes the Rockstars like Abraham, Moses, Joseph and Jacob.
But how often have we heard a sermon on the "Other's" as described in verses 35(b)-39.
I'd gauge to say not very often at all.
Yet these folks likely relate a lot more to us in the modern day than the "Heroes of faith"
Just simply because though our stories are highly significant to God and we each have our names written in his Holy book as well as that golden bowl of incense which are the prayers of the saints (Revelation 5) we're simply ordinary folks who lived ordinary lives.
I'll refrain from ranting any more than I already have:
By the way I was raised in the Christian faith, Southern Baptist and still attend services every weekend at a really nice church community here in my town. As well as I lead men's groups, and work with youth ministry and have studied theology I should add.
However of course I'm still learning, developing, growing and "drinking milk" like a baby often as 'He' leads me!
