I realize now that I bought into the lie on evangelism too! grrrrr!!

When I read this teaching I am reminded of Paul’s word to the Corinthians:

2Co 13:4 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?–unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

I begin thinking this way now after a “bout” with the law of sin in my flesh by way of the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ in my mind: Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

I admit it, I did it, that is, I went about thumping Bible verses like that one on unbelievers heads all the while wondering why they were looking at me that way!

Oh the damage a bull can do in a Jewelery Store! OOOPS!

Mat 13:45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,
Mat 13:46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
