The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. trim the fat. cut the cord. cut the apron strings. cut it out. set aside any and every weight that would so easily beset you(heb 12.1). There are many ways to say the same thing. If you're living

thanks for sharing.

just out of pure curiosity - are you a pastor, or spiritual leader of some sort? you speak with such authority. it can be unsettling.

hey, sorry for the delay!

Unsettling? I hope that's a good thing! lol I just have an intense passion for the Word of God and for the relationship I have with Him and Jesus. It's great to know the authority that you have through Jesus. I spent much of my life living in depression and sadness, just wandered around hoping to find something to live for. i found it and it's been 6 years since and it's time I share what I've learned! I go to a wonderful church in Atlanta, GA the website is www.savedandgay.com it's been a home for me when lots of stuff in my life went topsy turvy. what about you? what's your story?

uh, well - i grew up United Methodist (but a charismatic spirit-filled version). 10 years of Christian school, and a year at a Methodist college where i met my first gf. when i came home with a gf, my faith community rejected me, and by that time i had pretty much rejected them as well. that was around 1996. i didnt come back to God until summer 2007. i am now a member of MCC Tampa and have been for about a year. my faith is a very important facet of my life. i guess though that i subscribe to a progressive Christianity that most Christians cannot identify with. i am a pluralist, believing that there are many paths to God, and mine happens to be Jesus.
