I can relate due to severe arthritis. My company offered no retirement benefits, therefore Social Security Retirement became my income. I began worrying about my mortgage payments, house and car repairs, medical bills and a host of things. Then I had a reality check: I am in Christ and He is in me. I can’t worry and believe at the same time. I gave up all of my efforts. God retired me and He will take care of me. Father knew the pain I was experiencing trying to get dressed for work and sitting at a desk all day. One day He gave me peace of mind about retirement. He has provided for me since that time......not always in the way I think He will.....not always in my timing....but my needs are met.<br />I too don’t know how people can live this life without Christ. I would go insane without Him. I can’t change anything in my own power. I have truly learned to Trust in the One and Only true God. He’s smarter than I am. Worry will make you physically ill.<br />Thank you for this post. It was a reminder and refreshing!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315946696031818797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-11967266123273729372017-08-24T17:02:00.465-07:002017-08-24T17:02:00.465-07:00This is amazing!This is amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458535039778846212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-23996719105873199422017-06-03T22:26:51.176-07:002017-06-03T22:26:51.176-07:00I wasn't speaking of John Fincher.I wasn't speaking of John Fincher.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-61936754312533940052017-06-01T14:54:23.082-07:002017-06-01T14:54:23.082-07:00Are you still praying for their soul?Are you still praying for their soul?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-22138792123565319722015-12-17T06:53:27.942-08:002015-12-17T06:53:27.942-08:00I am very interested in Malcolm Smith's sermon...I am very interested in Malcolm Smith's sermon on Revelation.

I have my own suspicions.<br /><br />I know Jesus said He would draw all men to Himself when He is raised up. But I think He may have been referring to His resurrection and may have been referring to all men as meaning all nations. The Gentiles being included was a big no-no for the Jews, and Jesus may have been telling them to get over their jealousy of Gentiles being a part of God's salvation.<br /><br />I reject that literally all men were included in Christ on the cross. Otherwise, that would mean all men, regardless of their faith, would have been crucified with Christ, and if crucified, then resurrected. The Bible makes it plain that is not the case.<br /><br />Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-38084305595465047312013-05-24T06:05:54.692-07:002013-05-24T06:05:54.692-07:00Now, how many people were in Christ on the cross? ...Now, how many people were in Christ on the cross? :) Good News, indeed!

Likely a different doctrine, but the same struggle. It seems all to easy for doctrines, promises and obligations to rob us of the simplicity and joy that is devotion to Jesus.

I fell for some of what you're talking about myself, and it would have been much better to not have ever even heard those suggestions in the first place. Not only have I had to detox from legalism, but from certain other things as well. I think people have had good intentions, for the most part, but just not good advice.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-69465483256510459652012-12-19T08:06:04.782-08:002012-12-19T08:06:04.782-08:00I know you're right, Joel, but the execution o...I know you're right, Joel, but the execution of it is...somewhat difficult.<br /><br />I wish now I hadn't listened to a lot of the things I've heard from other people when our "grace community" began to expand. I even wish I had never even met them. I reckon that sounds harsh, but the advice they gave me did not benefit me at all.<br /><br />I think it became one big circus. I should have listened to my instincts instead of my excitement. I should have had the courage to tell people "no" when I was pressured.<br /><br />I know I'm being vague here, but that's because I'm a little reluctant to offend anyone who might read this.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-90063077716165410882012-12-18T08:07:07.439-08:002012-12-18T08:07:07.439-08:00I think the "found their way out" comes,...I think the "found their way out" comes, not from thinking the flesh won't keep at us (as you say, rather than fighting to keep the temptations from happening or running from them), but from realizing that the Holy Spirit is the only One who effectively wages against the flesh.<br /><br />It's not possible to escape the fact that the flesh will wage - and wage and wage - all the way up until our old age (as long as we're in these frail bodies), but it's possible (and necessary) to trust in the Spirit, even in the midst of it all.<br /><br />Our eyes aren't to be on the overcoming, but on the Overcomer.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-38349378490666392122012-12-13T17:02:57.250-08:002012-12-13T17:02:57.250-08:00It often feels like that.

...Great article bro, and great posts that followed!<br /><br />I also loved what you shared in the end:<br /><br />"This is the way Satan works. He clouds clarity, and where there is assurance, he seeks to create doubt."<br /><br />We don't have to eat of the forbidden fruit to "become enlightened". We don't have to rely upon our own understanding, but simply humbly acknowledge Him and believe His Word, and His grace will be sufficient to lead and guide us in the paths of righteousness for His Name's Sake.<br /><br />Thanks again! Great blog!<br />You are loved!Davenoreply@blogger.com
