Vulnerable ashamed. God is not impressed by our clothes, but by our hearts. In his eyes we are always an open book. <br /><br />What amazes me is that how far we can go to protect our "image". We have to learn to realize that God isn't interested in our image at all, he know us and still loves us. Still space to learn.WIP Online Bible Communityhttp://www.work-in-progress-online.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199619079407388156.post-69655498916423628792010-06-28T22:05:59.628-05:002010-06-28T22:05:59.628-05:00Arthur & Cynthia, Was curious as to how you we...Arthur & Cynthia, Was curious as to how you were doing on your journey to wholeness so I checked back in on Arthurs blog and was directed to Cynthias. Spent some time there too.... I dont know that you have discovered the Person of Grace yet.... Cynthia still refers to herself as a sinner... and I can sense that shame in Arthur..... Would love to introduce Him to you. I know that you know of Him. He is probably the only thing 'certain' in your theology anymore.... The SBC will never get it right because they address all of the issues rather than the Source of all wholeness. (Like they could regulate behavior....how absurd) Jesus never spent time on the issues....watch him..... He concentrated on only Who He Was/Am and what He did.... as long as it is about rules, right or wrong, pass or fail, it will simply be another form of behavior modification which always falls short. Transformation occurs only when we understand the Finished Work of Jesus Christ. Sanctification is simply a progressive revelation of Jesus Christ. Like the fetus in a pregnant womans womb, it is a separate life but within her. It, not her, begins to grow, which changes her appearance.... it is really quit effortless to grow a fetus.... that is how Grace works.... it is not something we do... it something He does as we recognize the Life within us.... <br /><br />not sure I believe you are on the 'happily ever after' part yet.....as long as you see yourself as a sinner, its impossible....<br /><br /> but know that God restores.... I see no reason why you cannot be restored to a pastoral position. Either the blood is good enough or it is not.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199619079407388156.post-83882346178293162922010-06-27T23:58:27.865-05:002010-06-27T23:58:27.865-05:00Arthur,

In fact, there are many who will reject it when they are see what you were shown this week. It is never easy to accept our flaws once they are realized. <br /><br />I admire the fact that you have learned to embrace your faults, learn from them and apply them to your way of thinking. That is what God is teaching us to do through our humility.<br /><br />You are a good man. You have a good heart. It has been a blessing to watch you evolve into the man that God has created you to be.<br /><br />I love you with all I am. I am proud of you! Proud to be your wife!<br /><br />CynthiaCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893642201511821341noreply@blogger.com
