Most people don't take the time to unpack the real meaning of words and their consequences. We just live our lives in a sort of "shorthand" that assumes we know what words mean. Guess what? We don't!
Well said Father. I am always confronted by family members who come to me concerned for my soul asking me "am I saved? Growing up in that world I know their heart is concerned about my soul. When confronted I say I am repenting for my sin and the sins of my family and nation, are you? It's funny how we southerners think we got God pegged out in our understanding by just saying words and suddenly heaven awaits yet our very intent is selfishness with I in the middle. May you be encouraged and strengthened in your conference as we actively participate in our salvation.
Glory to God! Thank you, father
