I've been curious about how your health issues are going.

My hemotologist took two weeks off. I go in for my bone marrow biopsy Tuesday at 3

...yeah that didn't answer the question at all.

Seriously?

Didn't you ever play connect the dots as a kid?

One of my key points is that I am nothing special. That everything God has done for me has been offered to you. Maybe not my specific steps, but something equally as meaningful and impactful to you...

That is if we can continue to a/s/k through the hard stuff we will be carried through to a better end than what we could ever want for ourselves. So many times and so consistently that the hardest heart will be soften.

So again why do I care that you all earnestly believe what I've said here? So you know all of what I said is true, even the fact that God's effort to me has also been extended to you.

Surviving/thriving in the impossible is what help establish and maintain my belief. I want to share what a life of 'knocking' looks like and what it can yield.

If such a thing is evidence for Jesus, how do you explain the turnaround of people without religion? Do you think that only Christians can do it?

You sure don't act like you think that, and actions speak way louder than words.

Those things in of themselves are meaningless. Those are just the outwards signs of the involvement of the Holy Spirit in your life (what we are supposed to be a/s/k-ing for.) the proof happens on the inside. God opens your eyes, ears and heart.. That is the difference between someone who 'wins' the lottery and someone who has God working with them.

That doesn't answer the question whatsoever.

If getting through hardships is proof that your beliefs are true, how come people that don't have your beliefs can do the same thing?

May I should rephrase...

I was nothing special.

Now I am what God has laid out for me to be.. Who would not be proud of that?

The only way the dots connect up is for them to lead to you having delusions of grandeur and cloaking them under the usual Christian false modesty.

Again, the proof is what happens on the inside. The facts that these things happen are just the vessel in which the proof is transmitted.

In order for their to be belief on the internal change one must believe that the external events took place.

Christian false modesty= pride in God and what God has done, and humility about self and what the indivisual as accomplished under his own steam.

Christ, Paul, Peter all show this "Christian false modesty." I think I, in pretty good company.

Just FYI to all

The Orginal purpose for this blog was to help the church planers to come through the different subjects I have worked with and decide what could be shared with the new congergation they want me to work with. This will also be an open forum for anyone to ask and comment about. So no cherry picking as anyone can say anything.

If you are admitting, as I think you are, that other people can do the same, why use your experiences to try and demonstrate your beliefs are true?

My experiences are points of contrast for me. Reasons to keep knocking even when things are bleak. Often time when we seek proof the answer can be found in the formula in which Miricals of Christ day were experienced. Not that a herion recovery is considered to be a mirical now a days.

What I am speaking to is being placed in a situation that is impossible to get out of on your own.

Like with herion yes there are programs, but it they all still require the will to see them through.. 10 years of addiction means ones will to see a program through is all but non existent.

We had to endure a season, but when it was time to move past that trial God turned off a switch in my wife, and she did not need the multi thousand dollar programs, or the endless meetings or any of the other stuff we typically need to move past this sort of addiction.

Again, this may not be a mirical but it follows the pattern or outline miricals follow In That the outcome would not be possible without help. Now multiply these type events over and over and over again. Then mix in direction from the Spirit, which for me has produced unbelievable results and while maybe one or two of these things can be explained away, tens of not hundreds of examples can not all be explained away as 'good luck' or sheer will.
