Re: Not Ashamed

for me, maybe not for anyone else,

the time I spent as an ultracon, was the time when I was like a child, and needed to grow up under my Pastor's convictions.

when my Pastor said that he was not going to preach/enforce standards, he was in effect saying to our church:

"it is time for you to grow up and have convictions in your heart, that come from your heart, not that are mandated for you"

So now, I'm in the time of life like Dante when he said:

Midway on our life's journey, I found myself
In dark woods, the right road lost. To tell
About those woods is hard -- so tangled and
rough
And savage that thinking of it now, I feel
The old fear stirring....

The time of life when I have to read, study, pray and find my way on my journey with God, find my own convictions and secure my own walk with God, working out my salvation with fear and trembling.

how is it that you are not ashamed to talk about a man of God?

1 Chronicles 16:21-23
suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

BECAUSE to THEM, you are NOT a man of God if you are not a legalist.
