PONDERING DEEP SPIRITUAL ISSUES – Chapter 5 – Part 11 – Mailing #151 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS

n) ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING and mysterious quest­ions that we may ponder before Our Father is the following: What is our “old man”, our sinful nature, our sin all about? What is its true origin, its begin­ning, its essence, its character? Why it cannot be changed, abandoned or reversed? How can we understand it? I will...

PONDERING DEEP SPIRITUAL ISSUES – Chapter 5 – Part 10 – Mailing #150 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS

IT WAS NEVER OUR PART TO FIGHT OUR FLESH SINCE OUR FLESH CAN NEVER DESTROY ITSELF, OUR OWN SINFUL NATURE CAN NEVER DENY AND CRUCIFY ITSELF!

Let us therefore repeat the First Great Commandment of God to us, believers: “And you shall LOVE the Lord Your God with ALL your heart, and with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind, and with ALL your strength:” And the Second one is like this: “You shall LOVE your neigh­bour as yourself.” (Mk. 12:30,31// Lev. 19:18; “neighbour” is not every man or every believer or everyone living...

Are we telling Our Father irreverent, embarrassing things? Oh, no! God cannot be embarrassed by truth and what is above and what follows is truth. Let us SEE from the Scripture that… IT WAS THE WILL OF GOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE SUBMERGED INTO EVIL OF SUCH A MAGNITUDE AND POWER THAT HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO...
