I think that when we get too comfortable with our own (western) view of things is when start to try to put God into a box - a box of our own devising.Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528001127103773045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074143919337704681.post-43988800246087774442007-05-22T02:34:00.000+02:002007-05-22T02:34:00.000+02:00Paul, Good words.

I used to be an Episcopalian and there were many believers among my friends, even though my own church was as liberal as they come. I now belong to a much more charismatic and evangelical church but believe that even there are some wolves in sheep's clothing. We can make educated guesses but never know the truth about another man's heart, and we never know when a person will move from a "milk" believer to a "meat" believer.Carol Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235225263627779324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074143919337704681.post-27777464549457254732007-05-21T21:17:00.000+02:002007-05-21T21:17:00.000+02:00Paul,Yet again you strike home.

Perhaps even more than many of my evangelical brothers and sisters as I live in the church saturated south. So many here simply go through the motions of a cultural Christianity without ever encountering the life-changing Christ.<BR/><BR/>Thank you my brother.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733541934250687932noreply@blogger.com
