Blogosphere Madness

Continuing the extract from the Blog (http://s201453435.onlinehome. Duane Andryus/); these are More Ravings of a Religious Fanatic. These topics areedgy--while maintaining spiritual accuracy--analyses of religious principlespractices and doctrine: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:I came not to send peace but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)Our destination is this:Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth and having onthe breastplate of righteousness;And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;Above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able toquench all the fiery darts of the wicked.And take the helmet of salvationand the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God:(Ephesians 6:14-17)These are tools to strengthen the thrust of the sword of the Spirit. Howeveryou cannot just repeat what you read here; rather you must also applyScripture: Beloved believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether theyare of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.(1 John 4:1)Do not let circumstances push you to the point of accepting mediocrity inworship. Regardless of the challenge that faces you stay strong in the Lord;keeping the example of the life of the apostle Paul in mind as a reminderof the grace that allows us to overcome any contrary persuasion.And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundanceof the revelations there was given to me a thorn in the flesh themessenger of Satan to buffet me lest I should be exalted abovemeasure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice that it might departfrom me.And he said unto me My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strengthis made perfect in weakness.Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the powerof Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmitiesin reproaches in necessities in persecutions in distresses for Christ'ssake: for when I am weak then am I strong.(2 Corinthians 12:1-10)
