Well, well, Mr. Sam himself. One of my favorites! Has God ever made you special!
His generosity
And your reciprocity
Christ in you
Gentile or Jew
Heavenward velocity!

Glad to hear you are still in the land of the living. As cyber friends go - you're at the top.
Why?
You are candid.
Honest.
And I enjoy bringing Mr. Sam before our Lord Jesus Christ.
His throne room takes on all comers and requests.
The Calvinists have you in the kingdom - once saved always saved.
Or the Calvinists have you condemned...never was saved they'd say.
I like good old John Wesley theology myself. You were likely saved...and God is doing his best (imho) to pull you through your current maze of ("theology"?) but I really am not talking to you in this vein to begin another exchange of who we are (in Christ) and from whence we cometh. Suffice to say.
I REALLY DO want to make your personal acquaintance inside of the eastern gate one of these days. Mention Sam of cyberspace and I'll know who you are!

OMB

Wishing you well in body, soul, and spirit.

Sam, Sam, Sam. The effectual man with 3 lives. Hi Sam!

GOD is Sovereign. That means that he controls all things all the way down to the tiniest electrons that swirl in orbit around it's nucleus in all matter contained in the universe. If He didn't, one of them might dislodge and move in a manner that would change the course of history. His mathematically perfect universe must be controlled by His hand. God's authority is ultimate, His power omnipotent.

Therefore, God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy council of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass.

Think about it. Anyone who does not agree with that statement is most certainly an atheist.

The statement is simply a tenet of His theism. That God fore-ordains whatever comes to pass is a necessary result of His sovereignty.

YES! God lives within me!

God bless you, Sam the Man!

Keep on keeping on!

James :)

Hey Sam!

Good to see that you are still around. I hope all is going well with you. From your stories it would appear that you are an absolute model of perseverance! I hope the markets are treating better than they are me. To quote something a friend of mine said to me on Friday, "My 401K is now just a 40". :-)
