i have to draw my fellowship here to a close becuase of other obligations and needs in my life.

and in light of all the debates and argumentive conversations ive been in i wanted to assure you all that that wasnt by anymeans the reason for my leaving.
and i wanted to say that i really dont seek out that sort of thing, and i please understand, me telling someone "you are wrong" does not mean that i dont love them or that im a cruel person or arrogant.
you have to walk in love, but you also have to walk in truth.
and where those two meet isnt always holding hands and giving hugs.

i think it was david that said in the psalms, that the king rules by mercy and truth. we have to walk in love and that will bring people to you, but you have to walk in truth too, and solomon said a rebuke from a friend was better than a kiss from an enemy.
no matter how much you love a person, there are times when you have to confront issues and not be ashamed of what you know to be true.
and you have to respect God and truth enough to tell them they are wrong.

im not trying to teach you people anything you dont already know, but im just trying to show that me talking the way i have, doesnt mean im not a kind caring person.
their are times for love and compassion like in a young childs life, but as we grow up, our greater ability requires a greater responsibility and thus comes expectation and the kind of treatment that is fit for us changes.

love you all, wish you the best.
i may visit from time to time becuase i do enjoy it here.
well, goodbye, Godbless.

Hey endure, I dont' know you but I did just read the thred you started on being crusified with the Lord and I thought that was great. No one likes to be convicted and it isn't fun being the one to bring the word that convicts but someone has to do it and if the Lord has chosen you , you need to obey.

I hope that will bless you and that you will still walk in the way he leads despite the obstacles satan throws in the way.
