Glory-seeking, though, is a problem, yes. It's often a symptom of low self-esteem, I think. An inferiority complex, maybe as a result of constantly being told you can't be good enough, your righteousness is filthy rags, you deserve eternal torture, that sort of thing.  |
Yeah I guess my statement was pretty general. I dont think God has a problem with people getting a pat on the back every now and then. The problem comes when we do things to get praise from others or we use our Ministry as a way to get applause, we need to remember why we minister and who is working through us.
The apostle Paul stated in one of his letters,” I want to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” In Romans he goes on to say that,” The preaching of the cross is the power of God.” Paul magnified his weaknesses more than his successes and admitted that the sole reason he did this, was that the power of God may rest upon Him. No wonder why God used him and the rest of the apostles to raise even the dead! According to biblical data these men were not looking at the Lords hands, as many do in the church today, but were seeking His face. This led to holiness and the power of God, to the faith and salvation of those who were still held captive by the devil.

Really, that was a misstatement on my part. Lots of things are debatable, no matter the source. It just seems that some people will pick things apart simply because they come from a conservative, and not because the content is really questionable. In fairness, that applies to conservatives' reactions to liberal comments, too.
In the case of this thread, the original statement is hard to analyze on its own.

I would say that it should be correctly stated, "One sin is worse than the others." You're trying to compare homosexuality and stealing candy bars. It doesn't work that way.

For instance lets use the HMH issue with LS. The lady with the uncut hair pulled down her hair laid it upon her son prayed and he was healed! The lady with uncut hair got the glory instead of God! Insomuch LS has preached it for 2 years.

Well, if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved!
