to: C Kahn from: truedog Colleen, I have noticed that some people avoid answering direct questions and prefer to snipe and nitpick. I guess they consider themselves too far above us peons to respond. Average Joe has not responded to my post about the opulent life style of his beloved Vatican occupants while many of their subjects live in miserable poverty. Of course, some Catholics still believe that they have the only legitimate church on earth. Maybe that is why so many former Catholics have opted for other ways to worship. In other words to worship God and Jesus Christ instead of a human being called pope. ^ ^ ^TD

><>...Good morning C Kahn and everyone...><> Too many new posts for me to digest, so I will just leave you all with this thought. By Charles Spurgeon “Thy paths drop fatness.” — Psalm 65:11 Many are “the paths of the Lord” which “drop fatness,” but an especial one is the path of prayer. No believer, who is much in the closet, will have need to cry, “My leanness, my leanness; woe unto me.” Starving souls live at a distance from the mercy- seat, and become like the parched fields in times of drought. Prevalence with God in wrestling prayer is sure to make the believer strong—if not happy. The nearest place to the gate of heaven is the throne of the heavenly grace. Much alone, and you will have much assurance; little alone with Jesus, your religion will be shallow, polluted with many doubts and fears, and not sparkling with the joy of the Lord. Since the soul-enriching path of prayer is open to the very weakest saint; since no high attainments are required; since you are not bidden to come because you are an advanced saint, but freely invited if you be a saint at all; see to it, dear reader, that you are often in the way of private devotion. Be much on your knees, for so Elijah drew the rain upon famished Israel's fields. There is another especial path dropping with fatness to those who walk therein, it is the secret walk of communion. Oh! the delights of fellowship with Jesus! Earth hath no words which can set forth the holy calm of a soul leaning on Jesus' bosom. Few Christians understand it, they live in the lowlands and seldom climb to the top of Nebo: they live in the outer court, they enter not the holy place, they take not up the privilege of priesthood. At a distance they see the sacrifice, but they sit not down with the priest to eat thereof, and to enjoy the fat of the burnt offering. But, reader, sit thou ever under the shadow of Jesus; come up to that palm tree, and take hold of the branches thereof; let thy beloved be unto thee as the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, and thou shalt be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. O Jesus, visit us with thy salvation! Spurgeon, Charles . Have a blessed day Shalom...><>
