Robert Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 I got this idea while I was posting elsewhere. Yes, the title ends in a preposition...excuse my grammar. Anyway, for those who wish to participate, please list those areas in your walk with Christ that you are convinced are sin. Then list those things that you are not convinced of.... I'll go first: Convicted: 1] Sexual immorality/adultery 2] The Sabbath, from Hebrews 4 perspective 3] Pride 4] Self-seeking [this I struggle with] Not convicted: 1] Tithing Let's don't play the role of the Spirit here....I'm just asking for your views. Thanks, Rob Quote
Parade Orange Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 This is a great idea but It takes trust in the community. Trust they wont judge u Trust they wont throw stones Trust they are are at the foot of the cross with you Trust they wont throw it in your face later Trust they wont count you as a Lost cause Trust they will respect you in the morning(next time they see you) Trust they will see the depths that Christ has saved them Trust they are actually Saved themselves! I havent seen that kind of TRUST in my church and I dont see it here either. No wonder no one has joined in But I yearn for that kind of FELLOWSHIP that the Bible and Robert speaks of.

Parade Orange Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 a year and a half ago I shared a struggle. And it upset a few people here cause it wasnt an acceptable normal universal sin. It wasnt frilly nor shallow. it was dark and brooding and it had claws and mostly abhored by any self respecting pilgrim. It was so upsetting that it was mentioned on another SDA forum and was used to kick me out of that forum.

Parade Orange Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 what I shared was not explicit but it did have to do with struggling with lust at church I visited Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD.
