I cannot believe how ignorant most people choose to
be about the Bible. Either a wanton arrogance or wanting understanding is
keeping the members of the Body of Christ in bondage as to who they are in
Christ, and thus the unsearchable riches which they can find and enjoy by
searching the Scriptures.

I am dismayed and appalled at the lack of respect
that most pastors have for their parishioners. We are all one in the Body of
Christ through the Blood of Jesus! It is shameful and sad that most pastors
dispense with little learning or encouragement so that individual believers can
read the Word and meet Jesus Christ, who is more real than they are, who has
more knowledge, power, wisdom, and
everything else.

Men and women alike are foolish and slow of heart,
trying to get what they are already have, trying to be what they already are,
trying to earn what God gives, and which
He can only give, for if we seek to earn what cannot be gotten through our own
efforts, then we will give into the weak and beggarly elements of the world.

We were dead in our trespasses. Dead, not just
sinners, but dead. We are body, soul, and spirit. We are woefully ignorant of
who we are, and who we are in Christ Jesus!

We need to know who HE is, and then we need to know
and believe that as He is, so are we in this world!
