I miss the ocean and the beach! I want to fish in them! I still need to go freshwater fishing. It has been a long time since I went fishing. I just have so little free time. My wife and I usually fish at the river when we do go. The only thing I have ever caught at the ocean was a catfish. I have had very little success there.

My heart is a little heavy this morning.
My college friends message each other in a group. They invoked the name of Jesus and the Lord but their conversation was so worldly...
These are the women I surrounded myself in college and afterward. Im not sure why I found that okay.
I almost regret living in the south. Everyone is a Christian and no one is at the same time.
Too many are mixing the good with the bad.
On the Christian radio station, there is a lack of balance. Yes, God will accept you when you're broken but He won't leave you there in that state forever.
Yes, we go to God when were in trouble but we should also live our lives Holy and acceptable to Him.

It is too much love of the things of the world. I agree with you 100 percent about the problems with most Christian radio and television stations. There is no balance. It is all about God's love and there is almost nothing about being a disciple of Jesus and sanctification.

Psalm 86: 11 says
Teach me thy way, Oh Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Unite my heart, Lord. Don't let me be divided inwardly when its time to obey You.
Help me say what you want me to say and do as You have called me to.
Let me fear your name more than the reactions and opinions of men.
Let me walk in your ways, Lord. When you see me, I want You to be pleased.

Thank you John. Yes I am feeling better now. Thank you. I also have another answered prayer in that I am shortly moving from where I currently live, in a first floor flat, with stairs. I will be moving into a bungalow, which will be so much easier for me, as no stairs. Praise the Lord. You are continually prayed for and so is everyone else.

Two things have i learned in this world . I aint never seen a group that left off behold the severity of GOD that could ever once preach THE GODLY VERSION OF LOVE . One who preaches naught on the severity of God , but rather just the love of GOD , even the love he preaches CONTRADICTS THE VERY LOVE OF GOD HIMSELF . IF one paints another image of GOD , then its an image they serve , NOT GOD . Many have made unto themselves an image of God that does feed the image of what they see in a mirror , SELF . IT aint GOD they serve . ITS the flesh . Satan has allured many , specially in these last and final days . And yes i say again these last and final days . CAUSE TIME IS FAST A RUNNING OUT . As for the lambs , we had better cling to the BIBILCAL JESUS , HIS DOCTRINE , THE apostels doctrine and er WORD in that lovely bible . You all are loved my friends . WE must behold BOTH the GOODNESS and SEVERITY OF GOD . OR we are beholding only a self created image of GOD , and that image wont save squat .

The Anabaptists: neither Catholics nor Protestants Briefly, the Anabaptists believed that the true church was: 1. A Church of disciples, obeying the LORD; 2. A Church of missionary-prophets, witnessing to all men; (martyrs, every one) 3. A disciplined Church, holy and pure 4. A suffering, cross-bearing, non-resistant Church.
This was the faith of our fathers (the faithful few)
some four hundred years ago.
What about today? Twenty counts (see other 19 online) of abandoning the faith and vision of the Anabaptist reformation:
1. We have lost the prophetic zeal of the Anabaptists, and have turned to pietistic quietism – we no longer prophesy against sin in the nations and in the denominations. " (in the churches, home meetings, ; forrums. (when it is posted in forums, it often gets shrugged off, excuses, denials)
people's love grows cold, because of departing from Torah

He really liked it. What you're saying was definitely missing from the church service we went to today. No talk of the severity of God. People are definitely producing ear tickling messages without balance. We won't be visiting again.
