READ ME FIRST 

       I grew up in a preachers’ home.   I never-ever- rejected Jesus but I almost always rejected what I was told about Him. I really do believe in a one on one relationship with Him and it has very little to do with all of the different things we are taught about Him. I fought, and still do, the traditions of society.

       Such ideas that we should all believe the same way about stuff, etc.     

       I  rejected all that and still do.  

      Christianity is individual and my DNA, my understanding of my lifes events are uniquely mine from my point of view that only I see. (Yours are uniquely yours.)   God knows that and deals with me on that basis.  Not on a book of rules which every sect has. ( and they each think there behavioral patterns are the right ones).

      God is looking for people who trust Him not people who behave right.   If we really do trust Him to develop His life in us by the power of His Spirit  then what ever behavioral changes take place as He works in us both to "will and to do" will be what HE does in us and He gets all of the credit.   Not me-Him.    My lifes thinking comes from this and all else falls into place in subordination to Him......

     Anything I write is to me. It all comes from my struggles, my peaks and valleys. 

     I am NEVER trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking or believing.

     I CAN’T SAVE ANYBODY ‘NOR CAN I CHANGE ANYBODY !  I wouldn’t know where to start.  “The heart is deceitful above all else, who can know it” Jer. 17:9       I have lived with mine so long I know that verse is true.

    My history, as connected to Adam, ended at Calvary. I died to sin, in Christ. I am not under any creed that keeps me under the law as a rule of life.  The law gave sin it’s power and Christ broke that power!  The law made nothing perfect.

    The problem is that perfection is required!

    However, there IS no perfection in the flesh but Paul says, concerning the believers in Christ, “Ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you”   and  “if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”

    Christ lives His life in me by faith.  Not by what I do or don’t do.

   So, once again, I am always writing out of my own life, nothing more and nothing less.  No axe to grind with anyone.   If I write anything that you can grab onto,  Thank God for it, If not just ignore it……………………….David
