Looks really good!

If there is an extreme, we will find some way to head for it. All I can say is THANK GOD He reigns us in, or one can only imagine what extremes the human race would go to!!

I have really appreciated the series on Romans, especially the last sermon on 11/13 … it took me a long time to learn the lesson that God saves the ungodly AND that even though we are saved we are not perfected until we pass from this life!!

For many, many years I lived under such guilt because those around me professed to either be “perfected” (which I knew for sure I wasn’t) or worthless “worms” … what a blessing when I finally understood that:

1) I am NOT a worm, I am an adopted son!!! (i.e. there is what I deserve and what I have gained by HIS grace) … and

2) That Paul actually meant exactly what he said when he wrote about his struggle with wanting to do right, but still sinning. I actually heard a pastor preach a sermon where he tried to explain that verse away because he was sure Paul had reached a point of “sinless perfection”. (A point that I knew in my heart that I would not reach).

The good news for me … God is faithful!! Even though I get fickle, HE will finish what He has started!!!!

Both articles gave me a good laugh, and then a good cry. Makes me want to be MORE holy, more like Christ in these evil days. Surely He is coming soon! (I hope!)
