Biblically you have to think of Jesus and the cross as the pivot point in history. We find our salvation by looking back on what Jesus did, but all those before Him found salvation looking forward to when He would come. It's the same salvation scenario, just from different points on the timeline of history. Great question Sarah. Biblically you have to think of Jesus and the cross as the pivot point in history.

But that Romans 3:23 verse... Does it mean that all the people who sinned before Jesus didn't go to hell? I'm a little confused... But other than that its great. -Sarah. Hey Andy

It is about dying to ourselves and becoming reborn in You. It hurts sometimes and I feel like a 3 yr old does when they get a toy taken away or, something special and valuable, that cannot risk a 3yr old's inquisitive abuse. I find myself wanting so badly for God to direct my agenda, when in all reality its simply about following and acknowledging His. It stings at first! Big Time! Thank You Abba Father for not tossing me out due to my selfishness, ignorance and at times my defiance. Lord Jesus, Your will for my life, Your will for these years, Your will for this day.

Ask yourself what can I live without. It is a nice way to see who or what you really worship. Good blog. Ask yourself what can I live without. It is a nice way to see who or what you really worship.

I was thinking I was starting my mid life crisis. Lately I have been thinking that I have become a slave to the things I worship. When I think about getting rid of my stuff so God can use me to go and do what he wants, to get rid of the anchors; I start thinking. I can't git rid of the pictures of the kids, those boxes can stay. I can't get id of my books, those boxes can stay. All of this is good stuff that someone can use, maybe I can sell it, I will keep these boxes to sell. My basement is full, my garage is full, my rental storage unit is full, and I can't go anywhere while I protect my stuff. My definition of worship is, "What ever you are a slave to is your worship." I tend to over write, huh. I mostly comment on posts so people know that I read their blog, and didn't go to the page, trip the tracker, and leave. Thanks, I needed that.

Phil 2:5-11. I have studied those verses over and over. When I think I have finally "arrived" at the feet of the Father, I am reminded that I have not. I am still on my journey. I am reminded that I am clinging to a good word from my boss. I yearn for accolades from friends...."boy, that Steve really has it together spriitually". It's all garbage. It's all stuff. Paul tells us how Jesus set the benchmark for worship. He loved us all so much that he gave all, even his very life. Very sobering. No, sir, I am not there. I am, to quote and old hymn, "pressing on to higher ground". Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Phil 2:5-11. I have studied those verses over and over.

Eating, drinking (tea), and being merry-- oh yeah, we're baptist. I used to think the small groups were a think tank, but there never seems to be much thinking going on.

I like to think on my own, read a good book and think on my own, hear a good sermon and think on my own or read the scripture and think on my own. But what I really, really like to to do is application. Like you said, "where the rubber meets the road". Where the lessons stop and the the experiencing begins. Where we find God at work, roll up our sleeves and go to work in his ministry! Nothing like it. I have had plenty of practice now send me in to serve in the real world!
