There was no link in his name. Sucks because I really enjoyed the debate, wish they hadn’t closed the commenting.

Yeah, I’m not perfect either! God’s the perfect example. Though we can never live up to his on our own. By the way, I don’t know how to get Josiah in touch with you, so maybe you should try contacting him some other way besides my blog. Thanks.

Thank you, though, I wasn’t speaking about David being perfect, Lord knows I’m not, I’m just saying he wasn’t a very good example to follow.

Hey Billy: Then an even bigger chance for God to show his love and forgive him. Yeah, David sinned…really bad. No one said he was perfect, just that we have a perfect God. Good question, though, that’s a big issue among a lot of people.

How can you guys think David was a good man? When a man was sent out to war, he was with the man’s wife. He tried to have people killed to cover it up. This seems like possibly the worst behavior of any Christian in the Bible.

That truly is an example of awesome tweaking…

We can’t do anything worth doing without God’s guidance and assistance…

Oh and Kay Morris, that comment was great! I’ve been feeling EXACTLY the same way! That since I’m not great or famous that I haven’t really done my best for him, but it’s really all in just doing God’s will in the ordinary everyday things that makes it all count. Thanks Kay and this was a great post guys! God bless!

Haley Drew: I love that comment….I am at a place in my life where everything seems too regular,or too boring, or insignifigant , and I want to do great things for God , but I haven’t taken the time to simply sit down and study the Bible or pray ,or even just meditate on the sermons I hear and books I read. How is God supposed to work through me and reflect through me if I won’t even spend time with Him? that would be like trying to paint a picture of someone I’ve never seen! Anyway… yet another convicting post.Why is it that being independent so appeals to us? wouldn’t it be easier to be dependent on Christ completely? easier on everything except our pride,that is……

Nice, especially since God sees all our our good works as nothing but “Filthy rags” so that if anything TRULY glorifying and great to God is gonna come out of us it MUST be through God’s will, with God’s help, and with God’s blessings and rewards! It’s like what one of my favorite verses says in psalm 40:8- I delight to do THY will, O my God: yea, THY law is within my heart! so everything we do, if we want it to impact in a way that will bring others to God, must be through God’s will! And that’s where praying comes in…

I never really thought about it that way too much before! That’s a great example of how God gives soo many second chances. Doesnt it say in the Bible to like Peter or something that we are not to forgive only 7 times, but 70 x 70 times?

I had a devotional that was talking about how when Jesus wiped away our sins, He wiped our slate clean, and let us start over. Kind of like an Etch-a-Sketch… He just fliped our lives over and we were clean! But our lives are not like that. when we say something we don’t mean, we cant just flip over our lives so it never happened… we can only find a way to deal with it. actually, WE cant deal with it, we have to ask God to help us get through it. we cant do anything without God. We are not like Egyptians that depend on themselves, but ask of their gods when they need help, or when they are afraid they would all get punished because of one person. we no longer have to give sacrifices to God, at least not physical sacrifice, because He already forgave our sins.

I have been reading the book “Do Hard Things”. It is a great book, and it seems never ending to me. when I read some, there is always more to read. It seems as if God wants me to do something encouraged in that book. Im on the part talking about how we need to give our 100%, even if its “good enough.” I feel as if I could do more, but Im not sure how. I’v always been the top of my class, always been the “smart, but nerdy one”, and Im homeschooling this year. I feel as if i could do something other than trying to do everything in the world… I just started feeling different when i started reading Do Hard Things. I just don’t know what. i think i used to feel as if, like the book said, if i start doing something, no one expects it to last. I just need to find out what it is i can do… with God’s help of course=) I just felt like i needed to share some of that with people i know have either been asked before, or have experienced it before.
