Dear James, I am just sharing what I have and am learning through all this. I have had many other attacks by these people this year and now have been threatened even worse, but through it all I like Paul have become obsessed with Yeshua. He is so personal and strong and wise and watches every move they make that it has brought everything to focus for me. He is everything totally all other things are interesting but have no real value, when the rapture occurs all that matters is He will be in the clouds. For the times ahead I encourage everyone to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus that is what it means to me to walk with God. When persecution comes He becomes stronger and even more real, that is how I can understand Pauls intense love for Him (because he knew Him). That is the end value is that He knows us and we have fed the hungry, clothed the naked, etc... in His name for that is who He is. When He was here a large part of His time was spent doing these things. No one will probably like this but it is how I feel. To me grace is like a tightrope walker, when we are walking the wire (trying to do Gods will not ours) and we stumble and fall, grace is the net that catches us and keeps us safe from harm so we can climb back up and try again. I know people who are up to their ears in self destructive sin (my father included) and when I tell them that Jesus wants to set them free I am told that once saved always saved and I am under grace. UGH!!!!!!!! That is why it is personal relationship with Him that is important not just being saved. Also, I get perplexed to some extent over evangelism, I know that when we feel frustrated or responsible for others we are not in Gods will for He pre-knew us all and has pre-called us since before the creation of the world. I am not a calvanist but am somewhere in the middle. I do know that if I am witnessing and doing my own will that I mess things up, but when He (through relationship) is working through me amazing things happen. So we should have peace and joy at most times. Amen Thank you again for your posts for I see you have alot of His love in your heart and that is all that counts truly. Nancy
