The Cross

I need to apologize for coming across in my last post as "attacking a church" for
those that took it in that way. My intent was not this...I am still so thankful for my upbringing.
But because of what God has done for me, I am not ashamed to share my testimony.

My intent is this: Let's focus on the Cross and what Jesus did and when we do that,
we are set free from all kinds of bondage. Our mind is the battle ground...and when
we zone in on the Cross and what Jesus did for us....all else fades away...and we realize just
how much "the battle belongs to the Lord." It's not for us humans to try to convict others.
It is for us to preach the Cross. Jesus Christ...crucified, died, and rose again for you and I.

God has opened my eyes to so much and placed so many Godly people in my life to minister
the Gospel...the scales are falling away. And it's been an amazing journey. God is so good to
us that when we search Him out fuller, deeper, wider...He won't deny us.
He WILL teach us, show us, grow us, love us...just as our heart's desire.

"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM!!!" ... too many times our religions cloud our freedom. You were right on the money girl! We need to feel free, not guilty all the time =) I was very very proud of what you wrote, and excited that you too see that if we keep our focus on HIM, all of our differences between each other melt away =) LOVE YOU LOTS!!
