January 7, 2008

Went “home” (home being defined as the place where I grew up) this weekend with my nine-year old son. I took the opportunity to drive around and show him where I grew up, where my best friend lived, where his grandparents (my mom and dad) moved after retirement and then we went to the graveyard to place a flower on their graves. When we got to the graveyard and I picked up the flower, he said, “Can I put the flower on their grave?” “Sure,” I told him. Little did he know how that warmed my heart that he would want to do that considering that he was never able to meet them.

Sometimes it’s good to remember . . . remember those who molded and shaped your life. Even in that little bitty town, God had His hand on me. It wasn’t perfect, but God knew exactly what I needed. No matter where you might be in your life, remember that God knows exactly what you need and even if it isn’t perfect—He can make for good.

Don’t forget to make a resolution to write ninetyandnine a couple articles this year. We could always use your thoughts to display the multi-colored talents and thoughts within the Apostolic Movement today.

 

Re: “Forgiving My Mothers by Finding God

I am really blessed by the story. It is really God’s miracle and makes me rely on God completely. It makes me trust God completely. Thank you for being a very trusting person through out your troubles and sorrow.

I don’t know how to explain this, I’ve grown up in the church where the peace of God is really exists but when you grow older and are away from your family who used to be your role model in attending church and so on, you are expected to do everything by your self and make decisions by your self. Even to go to or not to go to church. You think you are struggling alone and feel weak. Now your story reminds me that God is fighting my battle as long as I let Him in my life. Thank you so much, for being so much inspiration for my soul.

Re: “Oneness vs. Trinitarian

Well how far do you let the wall down? Before the Trinity preachers jump over the wall and jump up on our platforms and preach false doctrine in our churches and confuse the people in the churches and that is exactly what happens when preachers let them up there to teach or preach. The word of God says plainly in John 3:5, “Except a man be born again of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” That is what Jesus said Himself!

I know, I deal with people all the time, I give Bible studies, I witness to them every week on the streets, on my job, and I meet them wherever and I have won several trinity people to the Lord. Remember what Jesus said, I and my Father are one. You better keep walls up or they will convince you of false doctrine.

Re: “Apostolic Fiction

If any of us are old enough to remember old movies (which we used to be taught never to “go see” or watch), we’ll remember that they told stories which reflected real life and the realities of sin and bad living, etc., without the use of any profanity or nudity and without much offensive violence. I believe if we’re writing Apostolic fiction (whether with a “religious” theme or not) we can still depict real life without those offensive items. But, as I too often say...What do I know?
