So, the Manual defining truth and God's Spirit have become my measure for what I write and what I say in those places I have been asked to speak. The sad part of it all, there are those who have come into my life, and I have loved, who, either heard, or read something I wrote that did not necessarily support their theological position. I will say this, “Our theology is open for discussion, but the Lord's theocracy isn't.” It is God's desire for us to embrace His truth, His whole truth, and nothing but His truth
I said I was sadden because there are those who came into our lives, those with whom with broke bread together, and who became offended and left. I miss them and my heart goes out to them this morning. I am committed enough to the pursuit and promotion of the truth, that anything I write or say is open for discussion. One man told me that what I had posted in a social network was not in keeping with what he learned in seminary of agreeable with the church institution he was employed by. I asked for a chance for us to get together to discuss it all. It didn't happen. I will admit that I am susceptible to error. I could be wrong. I know Who is right and I know He wants us to be right, to know what is right and enjoy the Life right has to offer. I am after the same thing you are. But, I also know that the Word is sharper than a two-edged sword dividing bone and marrow. I have a new, elder friend in North Loup, Nebraska and another in southwest Indiana, but I have friends who have decided they will minimize, if not eliminate, contact. They took exception to something I wrote or said and I am sorry for this. I am quick to apologize when I am wrong, but I won't apologize for speaking the truth. You see, I believe in “The Book, The Chapter, and The Verse.” I pray again, “Lord, Your whole truth and nothing but Your truth!” It is my desire to please the Lord and represent Him, as best I can....and be honest with you all.
