Just like the post just before this one, I am going to refer you to another link (the same link as the last post). There is so much waiting for you on this other site! And just as the last message, this one, Home Is Where The Heart Is, this is truth -- full truth -- of what has always been in the Word regarding our life in Yahusha (Jesus). I believe many, including myself, have felt that somehow these words did not fully apply to us. These words were written for every single blood-bought soul, and may we allow this to fully penetrate our hearts. And most of all, may we be willing to lose everything for His sake. These are very strong words, and I pray that I myself can be authentic and real in my speaking of them and my submission to them. Please help us Father!

This post will be a little different, as it will require you to click on another link. I wanted to do it this way so that you will go to this other site and receive what awaits you. This site does not necessarily offer notifications when new posts are added, so if you are fed by what you read there, you will be drawn back again and again to see what has been added. The message I would like to share now, The Prisoner of God, is just like the others included on this site... they are very much needed at this time, at this time when we must become a prisoner of and IN the Father, Yahuah, before we become a prisoner for Him in these last days. My prayer is that you will find nourishment, encouragement, and even conviction from these messages right now, for you have been chosen to live in such a time as this. It seems this is a time of urgency, but in His rest, like no other! May we all find this place in Him!
I have posted on suffering before, and it seems it's that time again. Suffering is absolutely and equivocally a part of our walk. Without it, can we truly know our Savior... the Suffering Servant? And as we all desire to know Him more than anything else, we learn to offer ourselves up to these times in our lives when we must suffer in our hearts, our souls, our minds, and our bodies -- all that we may partake of a small portion of what He endured because of His amazing and endless love for us. And because ALL things work together for our good, we wait in anticipation for the wonderful good He will always bring out of our suffering. Praise Him for His faithfulness! Below I share a writing by Pietra de Bod that describes suffering in a way that encourages greater understanding, peace, and willingness to submit to it every single time it is brought our way. I pray that if you are in a time of suffering that this writing will feed you, inspire you, and bring strength for endurance so that not one second of your suffering is wasted and all things are accomplished through it according to the Father's perfect will. I also have a video listed below that is very fitting, as it describes in great detail from a medical perspective just what type of suffering our Savior, Yahusha ha Maschiach (Jesus Christ) endured. This is the type of video you will be compelled to share! Suffering by Pietra de Bod People like to live in unreality because they do not want to see things as they truly are. They prefer denial. Reality is not easy to deal with. It confronts us with our apathy and demands action. So unless there is an identification with reality, you will not be willing to suffer for the truth in obedience. It will not be because you have to, but it will be out of a vital union with His heart, seeing what He sees and hearing what He hears, as the Head of the Body. What breaks His heart, will break yours. Such a death, demonstrated by ultimate obedience, will bring with it resurrection life. Every condition in life has an appropriate obedience to bring God’s life into it, but we must be willing to first see it as it is in reality. These obediences are death. It is a willing suffering. His love is a suffering love. Once we see in reality the true state of things as God sees it, seeing with His seeing, it will bring with it the ultimate urgency in obedience to God. Art Katz says, “We will not see the ultimate requirement if we choose to live in denial and it is the very reason why we do not have the stomach to obey ultimately. We will only be willing to oblige Him, but not suffer for Him, and therefore we fall short of His glory!” We read in Romans 8 the following: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. How will we then be able to stand as Ephesians 6 requires of us, and how will we be able to stand during persecution, even in our day-to-day life. We hear words like our warfare is not carnal and that it is not against flesh and blood, but our actions show that the reality has not sunk in. We still fight amongst ourselves hurting each other, the Body of Christ. What obediences and seeing precluded the Richard Wurmbrands, Dimitri Dudumans and Brother Yuns of this life? And why are we so far from their realities? These are strange men to us. Our obediences which is as death to us, is God’s ministry of mercy towards us who suffer. How will we be able to extend mercy to others if we have no identification with mercy? How weightless is our mercy and devoid of identification with hardship? Is this not who Jesus is – the High Priest of our faith, because of His identification as the suffering servant? Our obediences will often baptize us in weakness, so that His strength can be made perfect in us. Being broken vessels, marred by the Potter is not the actions of a sadistic god who enjoys the pain and suffering of his creation. No! The broken vessel is the one whom He has broken in order to deal with all the impurities deeply seated within. As long as you have all your pieces together, you are still in control, but by your brokenness His very will is accomplished. He shares not His glory with the flesh, lest we say it is out of our own accomplishments and effort. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and by His stripes we are healed. All glory has a prelude of suffering and obedience of an ultimate kind. If you listen to the experiences of Richard Wurmbrands, Dimitrov Duduman and many others, you will hear of great suffering and their obedience to God in that suffering, which was of an ultimate kind. But their testimonies are not void of the glory of God and the presence of God in a very real way. In fact, their eyes were opened to another reality, which is of the spirit, and this reality is much more real to them than the natural. An interesting note is that of today’s “Prophets” with all their dreams and visions, how many of them have a testimony of the accompanying suffering that preludes such tremendous visions of God? The question is now, not then, whether we are willing for such an obedience that will require suffering? Our flesh cries out for release and comfort. It hates suffering! Everything in us wants to be released from it. Can we suffer to say no when the temptation for relief comes to us in the words of “you deserve it, take it.” Or, “It is not the end of the world” or, “you can do it tomorrow”? Will you be able to see this as temptation and will you be able to deny it daily? Day after day? Do you have the mature character to resist it by a consistent life of discipline in a history with God? Do you even have a history with God? To live before the audience of one, where no one sees your suffering and that which you lay on the altar, no one except the One who sees all. And lest we think that our obediences are our safeguard, think again, because the enemy will make use of the opportunity to let us focus on our obediences in our pride, just as those who suffer from self-pity focus on their suffering. Paul only rejoiced and boasted in his infirmities and weaknesses. God’s strength could only pitch over Paul in his understanding and bracing of his weaknesses, because Paul knew exactly what kind of man he was before the Lord saved him. This was the reason for the process of sanctification he went through, especially in all his suffering. Paul’s focus was not his suffering or obediences, but it was the glory of God. For of Him and through Him and to Him is all glory! (Romans 11: 36 KJV) In the same way Abraham had to die in effect to himself before he agreed to sacrifice his own son in obedience. For Abraham it had to be a done deal even before he and Isaac walked up the mountain. Abraham was not in dread all the way up. In his heart He already knew that God would provide, even if it was going to be after the knife pierced his son’s heart. And God’s answer to Abraham was, “Now I know you fear Me…” How much did Father suffer when there was no provision made when His Son became the sacrifice? The Word says in Ecclesiastes that everything has a season and a time. We go through different seasons in our life and some of them can seem unbearable. Can you lay down your will to when that season should end? Are you willing to let it last forever if it will serve His purpose? Waiting is not for the faint of heart. It is a death to your ways and an embracing of His. Especially when you do not understand. “How one dies reveals who one or what one is. Dying is an ultimate moment, which reveals ultimately.” – Art Katz. Very often God brings to death even ministries, dreams and even marriages, so that when He raises it, He gets the glory. This is for us very difficult to understand. It makes no sense, because we cannot fathom that God would do something like that. It seems contrary to the Word of God. However, that is like saying that the only bad things that can happen to us is that which the enemy does. But do we ever ask the question why would God allow the enemy to go so far with us? He has the whole spectrum and knows everything years in advance. He is outside of time, sovereign and He knows what He is doing. Dare we actually believe that He can do with us just what He pleases just as the Potter has a right to break the pot and mar it? Not because He is vindictive, but because He knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and the Omega at exactly the same time. The moment there is a jealousy in our lives for the glory of God, hardly anything in our lives will remain untouched by Him. If we abandon our lives and our thoughts to Him and learn to understand His ways, it will protect us from the pitfalls and deceptions of this world that will cause us to turn against God when things go wrong. So when the hour of testing comes, when persecution comes, how we react, finds us out as we truly are. It will either show forth the fruit of all our previous obediences, which is unto life everlasting, or disobedience which is unto death. Can you dare to believe that your sickness is for the glory of God? I do not say that God is the author of sickness, but is it possible that God has a greater purpose with it, than just your healing? The disciples asked Jesus who was responsible for the man born blind, his parents or because of sin? Jesus replied, “Neither his sin nor his parents but it was for the glory of God.” (John 9: 3 KJV) My interpretation of that is that God who has already written all that would happen to Jesus in His book, predetermined that Jesus would heal this man, and that it would be for His glory. Of course, any healing done by Jesus is for the glory of God, but surely the disciples knew that. Everybody wants to make sense of pain, and often this relates to having to blame someone. Once there is understanding of the way the Spirit works, you start to look out for those occasions because His discipline becomes a delight. Maturity starts to take place and mourning and murmuring is replaced with a teachable spirit that is willing to suffer. Not one moment in your life is insignificant or accidental, but in everything God has a purpose, whether devastating or not. For God every second of our day is accounted for – all our days are written in His book. He knows our Aquila’s heel, that very thing that twists the knife in our already open wound. He knows what is needed to break the flesh. In my own life I can testify of great hardship and I came to the understanding that this was required in His great wisdom to break me. And break me it did. But praise God He built me up again! It was not easy, but oh so worth it! You can either work with Him or against Him. Do not think your inactivity is not a choice. If you choose to not do anything, you are still rebelling. But if you choose to be attentive to His ways and principals there will not only be growth and healing, but greater intimacy. Hebrews 5: 8 says, “Although He was a Son, He learned obedience by what He suffered.” When we start to serve God in such a way, we will be indeed seen as a peculiar people. People will see you as crazy and heretical even. God does not require us to go with the masses…the sheep knows His voice. His sheep runs to a different beat. They do not act out before contemplation and they know how to wait on God. The sheep do not follow other sheep, they follow the Shepherd. They are altogether not like this world. We will often seem loveless, either by our silence or by our words. The fact that we do not react and do like the rest of the church or the world, the way the rest of believers act, are altogether very strange to them. We are weird to them. This all disqualifies us for the world, but qualifies us for God. This is a people that do not find it necessary to defend or prove themselves to others, not out of arrogance, but because of their security in God. Suffering is God’s judgment upon us. The sin which would not have exposed itself has to be revealed, in order to prepare the vessel, not just in cleansing and sanctification, but to strengthen it in its weakness. We cannot know God’s mercy without His judgment. For as we are broken in judgment, so we are built up into a new vessel to be able to have such a treasure within. A vessel (body) fit for use, which only would have come out of suffering and judgment. For as the things of the Spirit cannot be received by the natural man, who considers it foolishness, and indeed he cannot understand it, because it has to be spiritually discerned, so the spiritual man judges all things, and is himself judged by no man (1 Corinthians 2: 15 KJV). For who knows the thoughts of God that he may instruct Him, but we have the mind of Christ. The flesh cannot contain, apprehend or hold and receive into itself the revelations of God. He can only use us to a certain extent because of an undisciplined life. Living undisciplined lives both in the natural and spiritual. All because of our unwillingness for God to deal with us. You don’t give a sword to a child. Suffering prepares the soul in discipline and the body for endurance in times of travail. Who is able to share in the fellowship of the suffering of Christ if they have not been prepared and trained in the school of Christ in longsuffering? This kind of endurance does not happen in a moment, but in the school of life, until we reach the full stature of Christ and Christ is formed in us. Gethsemane is called the Olive Press. On that night, the Olive of God was pressed, however oil did not run out of Him, but blood. Our Saviour was crushed by our sins and by the wrath of God. No man touched Him in that garden when the blood flowed. It was His own agony and suffering that made the blood flow from Him. Blood flowing willingly for us and our redemption as the Son of Man. Laying His life down for us, so we too must lay our lives down for one another, as His body. There can be no identification with His Body, without the identification of the cross, which is suffering. A suffering that leads to ultimate obedience, obedience of an ultimate kind, even unto death. Consecration allows the Holy Spirit to work without restriction. Before consecration we sit on the sideline and wait for God to do everything. Our will is passive. But when we consecrate ourselves to Him, we make a decision to actively engage and submit to His discipline. A life of consecration is a life of obedience after obedience. Watchman Nee in his book, “Releasing of the Spirit”, says, “It takes consecration plus the discipline of the Holy Spirit to make us vessels fit for the Master’s use.” I was lead to read Malachi this morning after yesterday having been lead to Malachi 3:3. In reading this book of the Bible, I saw a bigger picture of the priesthood than I had seen before. The "Refiner" spoken of in 3:3 is none other than our High Priest Himself, and it seems that today He is doing this same refining in us to bring us to the priestly place of "messenger" as defined in chapter 2, verse 7. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:3 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. Malachi 2:7 Overall, these wayward "priests of Levi" are being refined into priests and messengers of the heavenly Melchizedek order. In pondering this, we ask... at what depth would this refinement go to reach such a high calling? All I can utter is "deep", and when I think of this type of deep refinement, I see suffering and pain, and I see isolation in a vast wilderness. I am confident to say that this is likely quite similar to that which John the Baptist endured as he prepared to be that voice crying out proclaiming the only Way, Truth, and Life. As I finished reading Malachi, I was lead to read another one of the writings from my sister from South Africa titled, "Priests Unto the Lord". This is an amazing compilation of truth, richly refined truth, on this same subject. I was enlightened and blessed to overflowing as I read this. It is a bit lengthy, but it is worth every word. I am compelled to share this for those who feel a high calling to be a messenger of truth in these last days. This calling and price is much higher and greater than maybe we realize, and I believe this revelatory writing will provide more understanding, and thus preparation. May we ever be humble and obedient to be included in such a call -- or even a similar or lesser call. Any call from Him is wonderfully enough! Priests Unto the Lord
by Pietra de Bod As we see how much we depend on ourselves, the process of consecration starts. Whatever we depend upon when it be someone or our own wisdom or principles, all has to be placed on the altar. Art Katz asks, “How many of us have placed something on the altar, but not brought the knife down and set it on fire?” Consecration is a priestly action. To consecrate something is to set it aside as sacred. But it is also setting it apart unto Him. It becomes His. At first it is our family and friends we give up or lay down. We soon realize that we no longer enjoy the things that we used to share with them. Slowly but surely a rift forms, not because we reject them, but in the spirit there is a dividing line made between the holy and the profane. Soon we realize that we, just like Abraham, must be able to leave our children too should He ask of us. We should be able to leave them not just in His hands for the provision of their every need, but also we should be able to walk away. Jesus did not tell His disciples that if they leave mother, father, wife, husband and children, even hating their own life, then alone are they worthy to be called His disciples, in a symbolic way. He said unless you do it. This decision has to come from the heart with a definite understanding that should He asks us to physically leave them, we would. This is no easy task. And a true dying. Whatever we place on the altar, stays on the altar. Never to be taken back. Our life that we are to hate is not just our money, earthly possessions, dreams, aspirations and our various talents, but the essence of the life within that is the strength behind these categories. We are to hate this life we have been dependent on in fulfilling all of these things. Once it seems that we have given all up, we only realize that His work now starts deeper within hidden parts of our hearts. Closer and deeper He works to strip us of our impure motives and intentions. Pride is exposed in areas we never would have thought of. The desire to be esteemed and appreciated, especially spiritually. To be acknowledged and applauded. We reach a certain place in the Lord where we unconsciously become prideful of our inner beauty and wisdom. This too is exposed in His light. Our love for others is seen in His light and all we see is our hate for others that we disguised under the mask of discernment or “uplifting criticism”. Our prayerlessness and slothfulness in the Word. Our indifference to the poor and needy, especially during inconvenient times for us. Our selfishness within our own homes. Our appraisal of ourselves, anger issues and small compromises. Not that there are any small compromises. All this is brought into the Light and has to be dealt with thoroughly. So where we thought that up and till now our spirituality has been impressive or even commendable, He starts showing us that all our spiritual acts, be it fasting, prayer, self-control, laying our lives down for others are all filthy rags, if not done by faith. We had hoped it would count for something. Surely this makes us at least a bit more of value that someone who has just given their hearts to the Lord? But alas, no. We have become saved by our own righteousness. Philippians 3:9 (KJV) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: The truth is we can even start idolizing our own dying to self or religious walk. In the end we stand tall at the podium of our own self-righteousness, falling so short of the glory of God. Knowing also that we have become so dependent on His voice or religious experiences during our quiet times, He takes us through various seasons of spiritual “dryness” where we do not enjoy the sweetness of His presence or His still small voice. We ask ourselves whether we have sinned, and unless we are aware of the season we are in, we will try to look in areas for an answer that will only take us further away. This is the season where we see that in all our seeking, we have indeed sought His hands, and not His face. We judge our quiet time’s “success” by whether we have heard or felt His guidance, or experienced His presence. Without knowing it we seek not Him, but the experience of Him. It is self-serving and He teaches us in these moments not only to see our hearts, but also to love Him because He is worthy. Not because we need to experience something. He teaches us to become confident and at peace whether we hear or experience Him or not and rest in however long He deems the season to be. At first a great sense of abandonment takes hold of us. Never have you felt quite so alone, having already given up all for Him, now even His felt presence is removed. Causing us to hopelessly fail in every category of our lives and bring us to the place of true faith. True faith is true in the sense that it is not compromised with our unbelief in any area of our lives. It is true, because it is uncompromised. Oswald Chambers write in “His Utmost for His Highest” the following: The Delight of Despair – “It may be that, like the apostle John, you know Jesus Christ intimately. Yet when He suddenly appears to you with totally unfamiliar characteristics, the only thing you can do is fall “at His feet as dead.” There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the delight of despair. You experience this joy in hopelessness, realizing that if you are ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. “He laid His right hand on me…” (Rev. 1: 17). In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it gives inexpressible peace and comfort, and the sense that “underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deut. 33: 27), full of support, provision, comfort, and strength. And once His touch comes, nothing at all can throw you into fear again. In the midst of all His ascended glory, the Lord Jesus comes to speak to an insignificant disciple, saying, “Do not be afraid” (Rev. 1:17). His tenderness is inexpressibly sweet. Do I know Him like that?” In this writing of Oswald Chambers I recognize the same hand that was upon me that day that I came to my true end. From that day, I have had a peace that He calls, His peace. This peace of God settles as a permanent blanket over the soul. It never lifts. I think mostly because all the emptiness has been filled with the abiding calm of the Spirit. It is not a normal peace that we experience, but it is the final entry into the rest of God. A real actual rest. Finally everything will be consecrated. Only He knows how “deep the rabbit hole” goes before all is completely consecrated. Sanctification is the fulfillment of consecration. We are sanctified in Him, but are sanctified by Him through consecration. The Word says that we are a "royal priesthood and a peculiar people" (1 Peter 2: 9 KJV). We are priests unto Him and as such, the priests do not live unto themselves, but have been consecrated unto Him. Holy and set apart. Even so, Jesus our High Priest, emptied Himself of His divinity before He came to earth to be born a babe. He too, had to strip himself of all His strengths and become completely dependent on the Holy Spirit as the Son of Man. We have been saved from uncleanness unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4: 7 KJV). We are called to be a royal priesthood to teach the people the difference between that which is holy and profane (Ezekiel 44: 23 KJV). How will we do this if we are still so part of this world? There is no glory without sacrifice, and there is no sacrifice without the priestly function. No priests without consecration and sanctification. Holiness unto the Lord. It is because the priests of the church and homes have been compromised that truth has fallen in the streets and equity fails to enter in (Isaiah 59: 14 KJV). Priestly ministry is a lot of cutting, a lot of blood. It is a sacrifice of obedience, causing the blood to be on you and others. Ultimately that which you sacrifice will cause not only you to be affected by it, but those around you. You will not be able to do this in isolation, as if under cover, but the sacrifices will be your very testimony of your devotion to the Lord. Not only was the sacrifice cut up, but also completely burned. Parts were eaten by the priests, so in essence, not only with the spilling of the blood did the priests become one with the sacrifice, but also in the eating thereof. In the same way, our High Priests takes the sword of the Spirit and yields it to the veil of the flesh over our hearts, cutting all to pieces, and in the process consumes the sacrifice. This is the fulfillment of our part of the covenant we have with Him. When making a covenant, both parties are involved in acting out the agreement of the covenant. Jesus became the literal sacrifice, giving up His life, and we become the spiritual sacrifice, giving up our lives. We lay down our lives, in order to take up His life, which is to say, His resurrection life. “We are to put on the garments of priests, to take off the garments that have been spotted and stained with the spirit of this world, and put on the vestments, the breastplates and let them be attached with heavenly cords to the God who has called us!” – Art Katz. God is not going to enforce onto us that which is heavenly and perfect as long as we are satisfied with something less. You don't learn priesthood, you inherit it. There has to be a death. All has to be sanctified. Our speaking, eating, thinking, seeing and hearing. Priests were peculiar people. They did not hang with the boys. They were a hidden people with profound authority given to them. Their function was to lie prostrate before the throne of God in the presence of the Most Holy. The High Priests were bound around their waist with a rope when they went into the Holy of Holies once a year. Should there be any sin in the High Priest’s life, he would be struck dead and those on the outside were not able to enter. They had to drag the High Priest out. A whole year he spent ensuring that he had no hidden sin in his life, knowing the price he would pay would be ultimate. Yet, we think we can just walk into the very holy presence of God as if we are best buds. God is not obligated to give us certain experiences reserved to the holy ones. He is not obligated to give us anything. “The calling of priesthood is most grave”, says Basilea Schlink. The priest does not leave the Holy of Holies and then stops being a priest. It is not an occupation but a calling, a state of being. It is not something he does, but who he is. To be a priest is to make covenant with God. Jesus when He entered the Holy of Holies went in with a sacrifice, His own blood. When the priest enters, he enters in order to sacrifice. There is always a death before a resurrection. It is a continuous offering of your thoughts, how you walk, your whole body becomes the living sacrifice. Therefore we are told in Romans 12: 1 to “give our bodies as a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service unto the Lord”. We are told that the only way we can enter is by faith. The Word says, it will be according to your faith. Not a cheap “name it and claim it” faith, but a holy faith tried by fire! The word consecrate means “blood on your hands”. We read in Genesis 32: 27 that Moses told the Levites (the priests) to slay their kinsman. There is always an ultimate requirement of the holy. And he said unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. In Hebrews 12 we also read, …”follow peace with all man and holiness, for without holiness no one will see the Lord”. If we are to seek holiness, it would stand to reason that it is something to be obtained and not something that we get without a price. Priestly men are not subject to moods and sentimentalism. They are without father and mother. No sentimental soulties that prevent them to speak the truth even if it hurts. The truth will set us free, but if we are so bound by others in sentimental ways that causes us to consider the pain the truth would cause, how are we ever going to be willing to yield the very sword God gives us to set them free? Priests are ruthless towards the flesh! In Ezekiel 44 we read about the defilement of the priests that caused a judgment to be spoken over them that they could only serve God up to the inner court and was not allowed any further. Many of us find ourselves still in the inner court. It may be glorious and holy, but His heart has always been that we may abide in the Holy of Holies. If it took the earthly priests a year to prepare to go into the Holy of Holies, which is only an earthly type and shadow of the heavenly, what will it take for us to enter into the heavenly? We are seated in Him in heavenly places. But are we in the outer court, inner court, or do we abide in the Holy of Holies? This is the very purpose of sanctification. To make holy, to set apart and to make acceptable, blameless and perfect unto God. This is what Jesus died for, not that we could only be saved, but that through our sanctification we may enter with boldness into the Holy of Holies. We find that the Levites did not receive an inheritance, but the Lord is their inheritance. Deuteronomy 10: 9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him. We have to understand that our willingness to die to self to the uttermost has the uttermost reward. God Himself. He is our inheritance. We have to understand that our willingness to die to self to the uttermost has the uttermost reward. God Himself. He is our inheritance. |
Special NoteThese writings are written in love and a spirit of servitude. They are not designed to judge but make us think. We are all sinners in need of saving, and we all need encouragement and absolute truth to endure on the narrow road to sanctification and ultimately eternal life. Categories
