I also don't want to forget how important it is that we give our personal stories as we also recite the stories of others. And how wonderful to be talking about stories rather than apologetics. I'm not opposed to having an intellectual defense for my faith, but I've not found it to be particularly useful in discussions with friends.<BR/><BR/>I see that you've had a storm of posts recently ;-) ...looking forward to reading more.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147958411510529924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20751203.post-67063535192678450362007-11-13T16:26:00.000-08:002007-11-13T16:26:00.000-08:00DCI like that approach.It helps me visualize a flo...DC<BR/><BR/>I like that approach.<BR/>It helps me visualize a flow.<BR/><BR/>I am interested in the 'for the good of the world" statement. It seems so - terrestrial and concrete. What about 'for the Glory of God?' What about 'for the Kingdom of God?'<BR/><BR/>Maybe John 3:16 takes trump here - "for God so loved the world (not as in earth or the planet...).<BR/><BR/>Is 'heart' what HE redeems? The heart is the prize of grace. The Kingdom of Heaven is the realm of The Spirit of Christ. The heart is the world where God would rule - if we would only call Him Lord.<BR/><BR/>Hmm. Maybe I'm just 'cracked.'<BR/><BR/>Lov'n U<BR/>bgBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169093613951593415noreply@blogger.com
