Comments on: Galatians Part III http://boldgrace.com/2008/08/02/galatians-part-iii/ It's more wonderful than you can imagine! Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:12:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Cliff http://boldgrace.com/2008/08/02/galatians-part-iii/#comment-3315 Cliff Sun, 03 Aug 2008 17:20:27 +0000 http://boldgrace.com/2008/08/02/galatians-part-iii/#comment-3315 Jason, For many years I just preached a lot about love but the last three years I preached my heart out on this gospel of grace and peace. I guess I knew down deep that eventually I wouldn't be accepted but I never felt more alive in the pulpit as when I was preaching this great gospel in it's fullest. Believe me when I say the notes only reflect a small part of the passion in which I preached and felt during those three years. I wish I could have continued but I finally had to realize that people that have been in organized religion all of their lives are just not ready for this new wine. Thanks for your kind words.

I am really enjoying reading them. If your sermons reflected these notes, it's a wonder you made it in organized Christianity for as long as you did, you heretic, you! Keep up the great work here. I look forward to reading more of your notes. Jason Cliff,

You have been such an encourager to all of us and even though I have never seen your face I picture a very kind and loving individual. Godspeed my friend.

I know you will bring joy and peace to many where you work the gospel will come shining threw in all you do. I pray that someday that I would have a chance to fellowship with all here at Bold Grace.

Those letters stand for the following: C = Courtesy A = Attitude R = Respect E = Enthusiasm Everyone at the hospital are strongly encouraged to treat every person they come in contact with as a person of great value regardless of what their circumstances are. Needless to say I fit in quite well because my core belief is that Christ loves everyone the same regardless of their circumstances or belief system. I strive to live my life by the FAITH OF CHRIST because it is His unwaivering faith in mankind that allows me to live by the above principles even when my own faith is weak. I only wish the entire world (especially organized religion) could embrace such principles for everyone they meet.

Nothing frustrates me more than the Christians who cling to their self made righteousness, and insist that their connectedness to God is due to something THEY have done, said, thought... Fortunately, self-righteousness will eventually fail us, and the reality of our inadequacies will overwhelm us. In the midst of our anguish, we will have no choice but to let go of ourselves, and trust the Faith of Jesus. It is His faith that redeems us, not ours (as Paul so clearly states). Continue to look forward to the day when the wheat (our pure, holy souls) will be separated from the chaff (our tainted earthly flesh) and we will enjoy complete connectedness to our Father, unencumbered by our worldliness.
