Marianne is a retired public school teacher, private but strong, heart, skilled counselor, knows deep intimacy with God, a comfort to others in the Lord, wise, motivated by mercy but has strong resolve, gardener, and a bridge to healing for many.
Together, we have been part of a community of simple, participatory fellowships for many years in our own home county - some of which we helped start.
Our blogs and devotionals spring from firm roots in those local fellowships.

I bought it on Amazon, but haven’t finished reading it. It has provoked me to do some independent research, which seems to confirm that “christos” (the Greek word translated “Christ”) would have been understood, when the NT was written, as indicating Kingship – i.e., one anointed as King. That has been provoking some of my recent posts! We want Jesus as all sorts of things, but seldom as sovereign King over our lives, our sensibilities, and our own autonomy. The buddy-buddy concept of Jesus being pushed today is so tragic. Yes, I have a relationship with Him – but on His terms!

Thank you Jim, it blesses me to hear that. I am anxious to hear what you think after you read the last chapter. That is where the rubber meets the road. 😉

Hold the dealing

So true. It is not the disbelief in God that is going to send people to Hell (99% really believe that there is a God), it will be the unwillingness to submit their will to him.

Sometimes I meet nonbelievers who have a better grip on this than some believers, which would make me think it is a self-deception rather than a satanic deception, not that it matters.
Either way, it is a deception.
