Just a thought: After taking part in both a Christian and a religion Internet forum for about a week, I was a bit surprised at how quickly people judged and how hard it was for me to find civility.
For example, after reading the opening two paragraphs about me on our website (which is less than 1% of what’s available), it was labeled as not Christ centered. Don’t you want to know up-front a little about the person whose writings you’re about to read, and where he is coming from? Again, my book, The Portrait of a Christian, was tagged as “ignorance” without reading one word. Oh well, I guess that’s just another sign of the times.
It does, however, break my heart as all I’m trying to do is point you to God’s hand which is already outstretched to you. Is it too much to ask you to at least take a second look at what you believe when your eternity hangs in the balance? I guess for some it is.
That being said, if you are interested, you can read an unedited copy of my book for free through our website, A.K.A., my “Heart-to-Heart” commentaries. Notwithstanding, I’m told by just about everyone who has read both, that the book is a much better read if you can afford it. I did publish it in paperback to keep it as inexpensive as I could.
There’s my two cents, for what it’s worth. The rest is up to you. Everything I have to say, well over 100,000 words, can be found through our website: www.SoppMinistries.org
I do pray some will find my writings and MP3 sermons to be a blessing.
Well, there’s my “treatise” nailed to the wall.
My Prayer: Father, after being exposed to how widespread the hardness of hearts appear to be, I’m asking You to use me and Your ministry through me to its fullest extent. Don’t allow me to get discouraged, nor shrink back. I’m not sure how many You assigned to me to reach – to give a warning, but I need to be sure I complete my assignment fully as my heart breaks knowing what I know about eternity. Therefore, Holy Spirit possess every ounce of my being – completely immerse me in Your power – come alongside of me – keep me from temptation and the Evil One every moment of every day for the rest of my life in order that I may completely fulfill my Father’s calling upon my life and His ministry through me. In other words, Holy Spirit, please bring glory to the Father and the Son despite my many weaknesses. Amen and Amen!
