(tongue firmly in cheek):"I am not a very good witness if sinners see me being,scourged , sick, broken."
On the other hand, I've gone through 13 heart attacks (since 1992). One happened in morning service at church, and I was back by the next Wednesday night. There have been two Open hearts (still have enough "leg" left for one more), and 16 stents. Only two out of three leaves in my Mitral valve are still operating and 1/3 of my heart is dead.
But I still live a completely normal life for my age, and you couldn't tell the difference between me and any other 70-year old geezer - still working full time with no retirement plans, Picking Bluegrass with the Band, and my income (as a non-degreed Chief engineer) is higher now than it's ever been.
SO how have YOUR "WOF" beliefs been any more successful in producing a good testimony for YOU than my "sick,broken, busted ones" have been for me???
Folks (that know my medical history, which I don't hide) see me as something of a "Miracle" of God's power walking around. I don't object to that one bit, y'all!!!!
Yes... you are a wonderful and great believer. One of the greatest persons I have met. God should be glad to have you. You really pulled His feet from the fire by enduring all the suffering He has sent you and come out of it on top. A real testament to how great men can be if they want to. All that suffering and yet you still serve Him! Wow...
I do not see God in your testimony. I see you and how faithful and true you have been. I see how powerful you are in your religion and how stalwart you are in your self. You You you...
Sorry... I do not want to hear about how great men are at enduring the suffering the God (sic.) sends their way. I want to hear the story about how God has saved us in every way we can be saved. I want to hear about the mercy and love of God. I want to know that there is a God in heaven who will save, heal, and answer prayers. It really does not help me to know how great and powerful you have been in your religion.
Again... kudos to you for your greatness and power. Good going there.
It does not help me, at all. You do not help me at all.
No offense...
I want to hear about Jesus... not Bob.
