Comment on Considering the Prodigal God by Longing for Holiday

Cav:

Let me take back that comment about best friends online. Feeling a bit of self-pity at the time (and WHO questions original sin??). Several friends have stopped by the blog the last few days to say they have prayed. Humbled, I am.

Ferguson taught me Doctrine of God and one of his books had a great impact on me (of course, it was 17 years ago, so I forget which one…!). No one prays like he does. My husband downloaded his sermons to our iPods and I mean to listen (one of these days).

Coral is as close as your going to get on a true description of the End Timers. They are harmless, hard working, well dressed, but just a little different. I doubt any of them own a gun unless it’s for their own protection. I come in contact with them all the time, and they have chhilled out alot throughout the years. I see the women wearing make up, saw one in a bikini cleaning her pool, men it t-shirts working around the house, etc… I don’t think Meade is as strict as he used to be.

sounds like you’re doing a bit better. glad to hear it.

i’m finding myself challenged to trust in his character regardless of my circumstances.

just read a chapter by Ferguson on the knowledge of God … it hit home.

Hey, Cav:

It meant alot that you told me you were praying (one of the few of my new internet “best friends” to do so). It helped. I’ll be posting more on my moving past panic attacks later.

You know, I need to taste some of that extravagant love, not in experience (a gift or feeling from above), but just to focus on and worship the lover.

Oh, how self focused we humans are!

PS Can’t wait to read the book: I loved those prodigal son sermons of Tim’s. The longer he has preached, the more the focus on the cross and the awe at God’s love.

I think I would like to meet Francis Chan. He seems to have a firm foundation…he thinks…he acts wisely (I think) and he LEADS…
If I am grieved by one thing it is the hesitancy or the inability of shepherds to lead their flock by the counsel of God’s word. Discernment…wisdom come from a solid foundational abiding in the Truth. I like this Francis Chan.
I also recognize that every church can’t respond in kind…that’s not the point. But! to be ‘THINKING’ about these things and discerning the American culture vs the Kingdom of God…
okay…I’m off my soapbox…for now

oh, I’ll have to fix the spelling mistake. Firefox reveals incorrectly spelled words automatically. I did this one in IE, so it failed me … again!

Amen brother…
the Lord is faithful in bringing His word to bear…multiple times to train me in righteousness. Col 4 has been hitting my screen quite a bit. Note…I’m drawn to Epaphrus as Paul highlights his faithful struggling in prayer over the saints (no doubt in and through difficult circumstances; he did afterall -if I remember correctly- leave the saints/church at Collosae to go to Paul(in prison) for help in some matters impacting the Colossian church.
Aren’t most glasses half-empty? grin
oh…is nuture a cross between nurture and neutered? dbl-grin
