I've n
oticed most long series do not do well, especially if each entry is wordy :) Romans is not drawing interest as it proceeds through the chapters. Gather is more geared toward faster reading &
quick subject change. So I decided to go with the flow and end the Romans series for now.
If anyone is really interested, let me know and I will send them to you by email. There may be some silent readers that enjoy the help of the series.
I love teaching. I always make pictures of what ever I teach and use the kids illustrations for both kids and adults. A well made point, made in simplicity, speaks as much to adults as to children. So what I will offer will appear often to be a childrens lesson but the truth will be universal and for all ages. &, better yet ... a truth in a
:):)
Mean while I wanted to end the series with the gospel in a nut shell.

I will still write. But they will be simpler. One or two will be a short series ... the others just a one time truth. As I said above ... some from my children's lessons as they are easily expanded to adults without them having to think hard :)
I do love to write short lessons. It has been my one of the funnest things in my live for 40 years :)
Thanks for coming to the wake :)
Thanks for bring the cheer into the room.
.
great great faith. Even if I don't always comment, I always stop
by to see what you have to say. Looking forward to your next
series. God bless you Glome, Robert W
Have fun with your sweetie this week ...
It is fun when you have no returns to do so you can just wander around to friend you haven't see for a long time. Then it starts again because they are all sweet and feel they should return the visit :):) Hahahah You can't win for losing ... or you can't lose for winning. I'm not sure how to say it.
Thanks for your compliment. I tend to believe everybody's compliments with all my heart because it is so much fun :)
I just found you on another site also. I sent you a ping but will come and read some of your material also.
I'm wondering if there is a couple of thigs you might have misunderstood. Or, mayb we just happen to disagree.
I understand your point on John the Baptist. But remember the message he brought. He didn't come to the gentiles. He came to the Jews to announce the Messiah had come to bring the kingdom of heaven. He had come to prepare the way of the King. The Jews rejected Christ as king as a nation. (Although many individual Jews did accept who He was.)
Even Jesus preached primarily to the Jews. He was offering Himself as Messiah to the Jews. Although He still showed love to the gentiles, such as the woman at the well. But, when she mentioned what the Samarians believed, Jesus told her John4:22 "You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews." BUT he then gives her a hint of the gospel that is to be preached when the Jews reject Him. He continues "But an hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
So the apostles continueto announce the Messiah has come clear up until they crucify Him.
The apostles really didn't understand the change in plan until the Holy Spirit filled them after Jesus was gone. (Well, it was always God's plan but He hadn't revealed it to them yet.)
I believe you are right about the peasants. I believe it is true today. I don't hate the rich like so many seem to. We're all wanting as much as we can get ... their circumstances just allowed them to get it. Hopefully the good and generous will help others whether they are poor or rich :)
Hey! What's wrong with going to mars? :) You've hit on my favorite subject. Quantum physics from particle theory to Black holes. Yaaa for us if we get to explore the furtherest regions!!
As far as Paul, I think the Spirit pretty much led him to certain people and cities. At least that's what Paul thought. If I was making up the plans I would have done it much differently myself :) But ... I guess I'll let God do it His own way. Ha ha.
It would be nice if He had settled the Arabs down ... made them feel brotherly to the Jews. Or like you say, Africa, maybe Sudan would have been nice :). Seriously, I think the men themselves had little to say about where they were led. That's my best guess.
Thanks for stirring my thoughts. I'll have come visit your sight.
