We as humans are gifted with the fact that we are so short sighted and are seldom not in awe when things happen to us that may be out of the ordinary routine, whether for good or bad. Blind sided though we are we also demonstrate remarkable resiliance. I am part of that resiliance and am here to help, through my writings and through discussions with the reader. So sit back, buckle your seat belts, and enjoy the ride.

There are no Jew, Greeks, etc part 26
It all boils down to whether or not we are willing to say we are different from the world because we are Christian. Are we willing to humble ourselves and actually strip ourselves of what we think is ours and what we think will make us attractive to other people that we consider in need of salvation? Are we willing to allow each other to be free in their thinking, in their searching of the scripture? We want others to come in to our Church and accept that they need salvation, i.e. they need Jesus as Lord. We must then begin by accepting one another. The walls that separate us from one another must come down, whether one is conservative or liberal in thinking. The walls must come down. God has given His children chance after chance after chance. Jesus is the last chance we get. (Mk 12:1-13) Jesus set up His Church for us to realize this last chance. (Luke 13:6-9) We must abide in Christ, we must keep the truth He brought us from His Father. (John 15:1-8) And we must not lose our first love. (Revelation 2:1-25).
