This is the struggle in my own life, to have a walk consistent with my testimony. I want to demonstrate God's truth in my life, as well as testify to it. It's easy to argue ideas, hard to refute a living example.

Short but well said as it highlights that there is plenty of information as to how we as Christians are to respond to the word but where are the examples? Do you see them all around you in all the folks that claim Christianity but you wouldn't know it unless they outright told you?
God bless those that have shared your testimony with me via PM. I totally understand......but. To me this Forum and the others like it....aren't just put here for a place to come to the Living Spring of Living Waters and fill my empty pail.
It should also be the place where I come to tip the pail I have recieved eleswhere to spill and share with those that do come here panting and thirsty.
And yes there are going to be those that reflect those things we may find have a negative aspect or seem to to not mix well with our concept of how and what should transpire here.
But I submit we should be overcomers not by confronting those things directly. But by emphasizing either our need or direction we may be seeking...drinking in if you will or sharing a recent blessing we may feel is from the Holy Ghost. Tipping our pail and spilling waters dipped from the Living Waters so others who are thirsty may share in our blessing.
To hold back such blessings to me would be akin to my Master giving me a shekle and going away for awhile and coming back to see if I made the shekle grow or did I just sit on it for safe keeping? Gee theres a story here...You think?
Thank you all for sharing and tipping your pail and spilling some Living Water to my dry and parched lips. So many of you will never know how you helped "Quicken" my heart with your sharing.I hope this has awakened or maybe caused you to meditate and look inward to evaluate in some way your own personal relationship with the Great " I Am".
Remember this if you don't remember anything else...God is Good...And His love endures forever Amen!
Thank you to all those that tried to bless me by PMing links to additional heartfelt blessings. However this guy is still on dial up and it takes forever to download some of these items. Plus my sweet "Rosie" can't get on the phone if I'm tying up the computer. Poor folks have poor ways!
