We Are Life.
God is waiting on us to call him, waiting on us to seek him and to knock so that he can let us in.
This is not done by seeking the world or seeking knowledge of the world.
This is done by seeking God himself.
god created a world in which we can act responsibly, God does not impose good, he prefers that through our experiences and our errors we come to discover when the true good is.


call on him in the silence of your mind, and wait for his guidance into all truths. he will take away yor doubts.
Of course, the best way to seek Him is to diligently study His word.
One of my favorite verses is Jer. 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

We should be careful because there are many false senses of truth.

No...this one consists of repeated patterns which at first glance does not make any sense...but when you focus on the center...it changes and reveals a design...mine has the underwater cave with 2 fishes in it...one big and the other small...

The gospel I preach is the way to the truth and the life. The gospel is the voice of God so if you're interested in the truth, start listening.

Aahhhh! Got it! It's not something I'm all to familiar with so I really have no clues about it. But i do understand the concept.

Very good post, Humbleservants.
This reminds me of Jer. 29:13, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." I believe our God and His Son know how to find every honest soul who is "hungering and thirsting after reighteousness" and that that person "SHALL BE FILLED [with the Holy Ghost, as were Cornelius and his Gentile friends]" ( according to our Saviour in Matt. 5:6.

Humbleservants,
I tried to send you a private message, but apparently you have to become a member to get new private message. I have been trying to send you a sermon, and think I have figured out how. Try clicking on the link below, or by copying and pasting to the address bar. Let me know if it downloads. It plays on Windows media player and lasts about 90 minutes. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Keep on seeking and you will surely find,
Bob Prince
