There is no good thing in the flesh, which is why even Jesus said, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but the Father (who is a Spirit)." Peace
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, DRob4JC...
The kingdom of loving-kindness resides within each of us - reach for it:
John Unger cradles his 19-year-old dog Schoep to sleep every night in Lake Superior.
So, the buoyancy of the water can sooth his arthritic pain.
On reflection, i have seen more good things(just for the sake of being good) done in the flesh than i ever came close to do being a bible believer who claimed it was inspirational,inerrant and infallible( my story anyway).
Then I guess you better throw out the whole book now, eh? You'd be better off if you did. Peace
I really do not need a book, although I am inspired by some of the literature.
And I don't succumb to the fear tactics of emotionalism? But thanks for your concern.
Psalm 136 verse one "O GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."
The dictionary defines mercy as ": kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly".
I am so thankful that the God who created EVERYTHING is a kind, compassionate, merciful God who is slow to anger. We deserve to be treated harshly yet God treats us kindly...His mercy endureth forever!
He saved my soul, O bless His name...Thank you Lord for your son Jesus Christ and the gift of eternal mercy!
Outside of God's grace and mercy mankind would not exist for one second.
Those with blighted spirits and dark hearts cannot perceive it.
"It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is useless, the words I spoke to you are spirit and life."(son of man)
