I guess I'd have to say I'd be ashamed if I was narrow minded.

I am open to God's word and where He wants to lead me to.

Amen Prax!!!!

And HELLO, Bro. Steve, it is great to know you are alive and well.
Still love the attention, do you! The community of AFF is so irresistible, isn't it?

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Yes, and Amen!

I feel like such a fraud. I'm baptised in Jesus' name, have repented over and over again, but still resist his transformation by the Spirit and Fire. I have frustrations. I have doubts. I have fears. I am ashamed. Currently, I'm simply on the path to "do the right thing", much in the same way as the disciples did when they first met Jesus and did their best to turn from their sins and follow him. But, there's Peter... he slipped up so many times... but then became the leader. That is so amazing. I am sick and tired of trying to "fix myself" via constantly doing "1) sin 2) repentance 3) goto step 1" or implementing a philosophy of "do the right thing". To me it is the same as: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber." These are the things I'm currently dealing with at the moment.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the light..." Our focus must be on Him not on ourselves, as we do so, salvation comes upon us and overtakes us!!!

I am not ashamed to be a Christian...I enjoy being a Christian and hope to always be a Christian...As Elder Epley said he feel short I too fall short so many times but am striving to be a light in a very dark world.

I just thought I logged on to see what's happening over here since news got around by "you-know-who."

Glad I did. This post blessed me through and through...as my grand-daddy used to say, "plum to my gizzard."

Thank you Elder. I am not ashamed to say, "I'm not ashamed."

Praise God!
