"I thank you ever so much for your kind reply and oddly enough, the precise thing you just told me has been at the heart of my mind throughout the day because in the end concerning the Zech 9-14 passage, at least, I think what the heart would testify to about it is that there would be no perfect theological position embracing its full truth I myself only understand in limited areas yet. Coincidentally, this is the exact type of thing you just told me and thus I will do my best to remember this conversation into my future life. After having spoken with several different theologians in recent months after having fallen trap into what became a very turbulent journey and inability to escape from the specific fear issues that are a bit more exclusive to the OT, the greatest fear was that I wasn't going to be able to get back to Christ Himself in the NT. Someway/somehow, the Lord pulled me through the better part of the OT struggle, however, so much so where I feel now the last detail holding me back relates to this specific Zech 9-14 passage itself. Based on your message, Reverend, you were the specific person I needed in this moment because there someplace deep down in your soul is that precious humility factor at work in Him, I can see this type of thing come through from the soul in only a select few of His people-it's been more detectable among the elders for whatever reason in this crazy day and and age that we're living right now...I thank you for your service once again for Him and helping those like myself in moments like this. The heart's humility in Him in that place of peace and calm so evident w/ you, that alone comes as such a remarkable gift..." -Kevin -
"I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy to write to me.Your letter was not only thoughtful and kind, but thorough, relevant, and timely. Your words and advice were not given Vain, I will pursue these references you gave me Again from the bottom of my heart, thank you!"
- Jane - "Again, thank you for the reply. My conscious tells me they are right. That is not what I want to accept, and believe me my heart is not on board with this. But I suppose like Abraham, I must be willing to sacrifice everything. Didn’t Paul say that God’s Grace would be enough for us? Thanks again." - Ken - "Thank you for your answer!!" - Beth - "Thank you for your very thorough response." - Dennis - |
"Thank you for your very prompt response. This helps A LOT and challenges me even more creatively."
