Let us understand that it is not our rite that we go into the world it is our responsibility. It is not our rite to heal people but our responsibility from that which we have been given. We must not, can not or even advert away from that which God has called us to do. Let us stop dispution that which God has given us to do.<BR/><BR/>You will be hearing more from me on this soon<BR/><BR/>Every Blessing <BR/><BR/>Richard BRichard Bentallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387331100620512498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9405828.post-77844557997287746702007-10-01T14:00:00.000+01:002007-10-01T14:00:00.000+01:00Great post Chris and very astute comments from Ame...Great post Chris and very astute comments from Amerikan... it is certainly a challenge for all of us I'm sure. But did you also notice that in Matthew 4 where it describes the beginning of His ministry and the gathering together of His disciples, how when He called them Peter and Andrew 'left their nets AT ONCE...' (v20) and James and John 'IMMEDIATELY followed Him...'. The real challenge for me is how immediate is my response to that same call...<BR/><BR/>KevCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9405828.post-74193577859420539302007-10-01T03:05:00.000+01:002007-10-01T03:05:00.000+01:00Interesting...In Jesus' day when the N.T. church w...Interesting...In Jesus' day when the N.T. church was being birthed, they had no walls, just the synagogues/temple. And the early church was very comfortable going into the highways and byways. Now that we have erected walls, we hide behind them in comfort. The church is nolonger comfortable in ministering in the world arena where most of the sinners exist. <BR/><BR/>We have changed the Great Commission from "going into all the world" to "come into my world." To be a fisher (of men), we have to go. Maybe a big kick would be better. But, from my own personal experience, it must be the cry, desire and passion of your heart for unsaved humanity. Otherwise, we will never really do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9405828.post-42540337944849163152007-09-27T14:56:00.000+01:002007-09-27T14:56:00.000+01:00Challenging post.
