Miracle Baptist Church in Strawberry Plains, TN. I don't know how to put it in to words. The Lord has done it all. I preached in revival this past Friday night and it was wonderful. Needless to say, it wasn't me preaching. It was all him. I praise his holy name. He's done it all. I've only preached 6 times before this and I came prepared/studied for what I completely felt was The message he wanted preached. Then, halfway through the song service he changed it on me. Never had that happened before and was scared to death, so I grabbed my pastor and we went back in the Sunday School room and prayed. The only thing the Lord said was to start reading Isaiah 53. So, I did. Then, I just opened my mouth and he preached through me. Never felt nothing like it in all my life. It was wonderful! Words couldn't describe feeling him on me like that. Didn't even have notes, he just preached. I just thank the Lord Jesus Christ for what he's done for me. I owe him everything!

Thanks brother. Perhaps my wife and I will come visit some day, probably on a Saturday if I can get off work...

"According to James, not written TO me but FOR me, my aunt's faith was dead. Is she in hell?"

Yes I do believe she is saved and not in hell.

You misunderstand me but then again I can be vague sometimes. I do not define works as James did , that being converted Jews who still kept the law in that context. Since I am not a Jew, it does not mean the same thing to me, like you stated, it was not written to us, but for us.

I see works like this. You are saved now what do you do with yourself? Your works are simply how you show your salvation in your life with your actions. This will vary from person to person. It can be turning from sinful ways, that being, getting drunk all the time, "sleeping around", cursing a lot, etc etc etc. When you turn from those things, it can be considered a work of sorts.

I am not trying to be confrontational, but if I have some error, please show me.

Monk, pardon me if I left the impression I was being combative. It's hard to convey tone of voice and indeed, volume of what we are speaking. You and I have never spoken, in the future you should find me the least offensive of Internet contacts. Were we all in this thread together in person, you would hear my questions in an entirely different way than the impression I left.

My only catch is I see so much James being quoted and not enough Paul. That is each of our liberties to do. I guess I could give Dr. Ruckman a run for his money in facetiousness and sarcasm with the Alexandrian crowd, but not in a serious discussion of Scripture and doctrine with those I consider brethren, as you.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply, as I said, as you get to know me you see I just speak my mind openly and while it looks contentious, it's not. Grace and peace to you, and let me offer you the right hand of fellowship and a great day today and all days.

Sounds good. Bill has services on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, email me for his address and times. I have not been in a while, I have a family illness I've had to deal with for a number of weeks. We would be honored to have you

Grace and peace
