"
Our Lord didn't include words like "try not to be," "maybe," "sometimes," or "for a while." He doesn't give as the world gives. Love you all!
John 16:33 NIV
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
The publishing business has changed greatly over my lifetime. Whether That change is good or bad is not the question here. The question is can I adjust to the new anti-Christian thinking quietly penetrating even Christian publishing? "Sir, your writing contains a staggering amount of antique Christian uttering - out-of-date rubbish. If you persist in such outlandish notions, we shall have you muzzled like the dog you are." Watch out, dogs bite. I would rather be a dog for God than the king of Hell.
Should the Bible be adjusted to modern ideology? Of course not, for truth is truth always. Truth comes from God, not man. I write for God, not for money or personal glory. Therefore, I shall not adjust my writing, merely the timeframe in which it will be published.
Don't you want to be on the right side? The right side that is winning, though looking as if losing. Do you not want to believe the truth backed by thousands of years of history? Myths? Every promise in the Bible has been fulfilled, both Old and New Testament.
Do you want to be loved? Without love, you are nothing. Faith in Jesus Christ means you are loved, eternally.
Life? You cannot truly have life on your terms. You must submit to a loving God though faith in Jesus Christ. Otherwise, the result is death. Do you want a few years of worldly HAPPINESS, or eternal life? God leaves it up to you.
As for me, I choose to serve my loving Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing is more exciting and fulfilling. Love you all!
We are a rough match when we are first converted. Not to worry. With time spent in the Lord's domain surrounded by the Holy Spirit, you will begin to notice subtle changes. Others will begin to notice those subtle changes. A very godly pastor, Alan Redpath, said, "The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment, but the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime." Patience and persistence, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Our Lord said nothing about perfection in conversion. It is about faith. He will bring unimaginable changes to you if you have faith. With prayer and a budding relationship with our Lord, there will come painfully slow changes to God-likeness.
From experience, I write these things. No person was any dirtier than I when the miracle of conversion came upon me. If our Lord Jesus can love and save me, He will surely save you.
Our Lord is our divine Director of Character Development. If you persist, so will He. We humans have a lot of sin to wash away from our soiled souls. Love you all.
Sometimes it takes a while for mortals to understand what God is trying to tell us. I'm trying. My biggest mistake is thinking too small when I serve God; thinking too bland. Sometimes God wants to take us to heights inconceivable to mankind, because he loves us so very much. It is not easy to relax and let our Father power us to acts we think impossible. When you accept our Lord Jesus into your heart, if you let him take over, if you give into his Holy Spirit, you're in for excitement far beyond anything man can create. I've been there and going again.
Manuscript to Lucid Books this week. I was given an offer by Lighthouse Books, but turned it down due to a gut feeling. I am really getting a good feeling from the Holy Spirit concerning Lucid Books. Will let you know the results.It's for His glory, not mine. I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO SERVED, ARE SERVING, AND SHALL SERVE THIS GREAT NATION GIVEN TO US BY GOD.
