Thank you I think of you highly too. I agree with what you said about the political correct etc. I also think the world is under the sway of the evil one. I have to be very careful not to listen or read so much news and what people are saying about the news. Its almost if when i do listen I start to feel like they are sucking me in also in starting to feel hatred toward the apposing politcal party. Now aint that something? I never did that before and certainly dont want to now. This is a scary world we live in. I noticed in myself that I am more quieter with my veiws than I ever had been. Im letting fear of saying something that would tick someone off because as you mentioned not politically correct. Im tired and am rattling. I havent slept yet . Hopefully I will today some. love to you and I hope you have a beautiful day too. ... I say that after all the junk i just wrote. :-/
Religion today is not transforming the people – it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society – it is descending to society's own level and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smiling accepting its surrender. ~A.W. Tozer
There you are :-). I am glad you are well. I am OK ,thank you. Yes lets catch up sometime. I am the same as always. I am glad to see you again. I don't come here to AAG as often as I did but I do stop by now and again. It just isnt the same as it used to be when I had first found this site. There was another "watchman" he and his wife was here and was very active . There was Ron Payne... he didnt leave intentionally, he had had health problems and then later passed away. :-(. There was 'anonymous poster' he was kicked out. You would have liked everyone of them. There was Ramona... she left too she was such a kind lady. I lost my old email account and lost so many conversations from all them. There were more here. Paige is one who was here and left. :-(. Yu would have loved her. She and a few others are on my fb but I dont think Paige remembers me and i dont ask because I dont remember what member name i had used when I knew Paige here. I had used several. Well I am rattling. Some of my family are on their way to visit me. :-) Yes I am smiling. love you Jane. . Hey if you have fb I do too even you want to connect there. Let me know.
The standard of practical holy living has been so low among Christians that very often the person who tries to practice spiritual disciplines in everyday life is looked upon with disapproval by a large portion of the Church. And for the most part, the followers of Jesus Christ are satisfied with a life so conformed to the world, and so like it in almost every respect, that to a casual observer, there is no difference between the Christian and the pagan.
Reference: The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life. Christianity Today, v. 32, n. 11.
"The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!"
Here lies the tremendous mystery - that God should be all-powerful, yet refuse to coerce. He summons us to cooperation. We are honoured in being given the opportunity to participate in his good deeds. Remember how He asked for help in performing his miracles : Fill the waterpots, stretch out your hand, distribute the loaves.
We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.
"We have taken the latter course as a culture. So there is mass confusion today--even in the evangelical church--over whether the Bible is true and over how far we should go in obeying it."
The strength of the vessel can be demonstrated only by the hurricane, and the power of the Gospel can be fully shown only when the Christian is subjected to some fiery trial. If God would make manifest the fact that “He giveth songs in the night,” He must first make it night. —William Taylor

Hey!!!! :-) Thank you for stopping by my page. Im glad I looked... for some reason I dont get notifications when I get a post on my page. I do on other things here though. :-/ I havent checked on the forums lately. Have you been active? How are you doing? I have been at my daughters nearing 2 weeks now. I miss being home but I know when I leave here and get there I will miss being here. Its so good seeing you . I have missed you. I need to make a habit of stopping in on AAG more. I do try to read the prayer request but I am way behind on forums. hugs to you.

"... unity is not found in uniformity of thought, but in the fellowship of the Spirit, based on sound doctrine which, in turn, is predicated on the clear teaching of Scripture. This is why Paul exhorts us to "mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them" (Rom 16:17).

Stopping to say hey. I hope this note finds you well.
