> Amen, brother. And may God bless you with prosperity He wants you to have to reach the lost. I am glad that God shows me that you have the wisdom to use such riches primarily for God's glory. We still do differ on how we look at trials, but if you believe in God's love through the Son's sacrifice, and as that being as THE priority in our lives as Christians in reaching the dying world, I leave you in peace. I just pray that you give some more thought to what is being said in this forum. I know you do, but you still believe that you are the one who is scriptural. You have the right to believe that. Let us both pray for each other, that the one who is misled be shown the light of God's truth about this particular issue.

>God bless the faithful people in this forum. To those who are passionate in sharing God's truth, may we not let pride destroy our driving force of love. To those who choose to remain quiet, God has put you in an honorable privilege to freely identify truth from deception, and discern love versus pride in the messages-- without being coerced. Though it may be confusing most of the time, God wants all of us to be continually seeking His will, and actually doing it.

>There is yet more deception that have not been unearthed in this forum, as we all know. I sense that there are some here who do not believe in eternal security of salvation. I do not want to start anything regarding this issue, not right now (I am drained)-- though it is a matter of great importance. All this confusion can sometimes just make me break down and plead out to God, "Lord come quickly!" My yearning for His second return is however tempered with my passion to seek His truth while I wait, and share the truth (and mistakes I continually make) the best way I can.

Well said! I also thank God for His blessings on my life (health, financial). Even though I have not experienced perfect health, He has always seen me through and been my strength and peace. I agree that that these discussions can be draining, but I have been learning from them. I do not claim to know all the answers, but continue to trust in the Lord in all things. I also thank the members here and ask that the truth be revealed to me as well. Especially with regard to sickness and health. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
