Comments for A Layman's Thoughts http://blog.eiss.net a layman's thoughts on Christianity, religion, & theology... and a few other things Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:23:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 Comment on Stop Trying! by Larry http://blog.eiss.net/2008/06/17/stop-trying/#comment-1884 Larry Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:33:53 +0000 http://blog.eiss.net/?p=60#comment-1884 Thank you for taking the time to listen, Ruth. Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me ... my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Scripture also says, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Again, Jesus said, "...you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." and "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life..." The more we come to know who we are IN HIM and come to know Him better, the more free we become and the lighter our burden. I am so pleased that you were blessed with His peace through this message, Sister. Thank you for taking the time to listen, Ruth.

I found you from Steve's Blog. I was interested in what you said about where we get our Trinitarian beliefs from because I just asked myself that question this morning. I like your succint way of describing the posture we have in Christ. I just feel so much more relaxed from hearing those reminders. Great message Larry! I found you from Steve’s Blog.

I'll have to take another look at Bloglines. I think I signed up some time ago and forgot about it. I do read Home-Steeped Hope with some regularity. I have your feed in my RSS Reader. I am beginning to have an inkling that the Lord may move me toward more writing here. I kind of hope so because of late there is much on my heart. I ache for our Brothers and Sisters who still live as though they were slaves to sin instead of realizing their freedom in our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting. It is always so wonderful to see you here Mary. I’ll have to take another look at Bloglines. I think I signed up some time ago and forgot about it.

What do we have to have? Not faith in faith alone, which is what we so often get guilt complexes over. It's what we have faith IN that matters, only God can bring faith to life. I finally got a Bloglines account, so I just added your blog! Exactly my thoughts on faith! What do we have to have? Not faith in faith alone, which is what we so often get guilt complexes over.

Though you put the comment on a different article (http://blog.eiss.net/2007/11/15/rewriting-posts/) here on the site, it blessed my heart and touched me deeply. As you know, the answer to the question of how all these things were pulled together is that the Holy Spirit quickens the Word as His servants prepare messages. He is AWESOME! Dad,

What can I say? God is teaching me a great deal about the ministry of grace..and where my understanding of His grace is lacking. Great post and I look forward to reading more of your thoughts on grace. Blessings, Brandon Larry,

I teach to all who come that night, but our church is very small, so it's no more than a small group. Over the years I have preached to much larger congregations and back in the 80's I pastored a church for a couple of years as a lay minister. The audio is all in MP3 format, so mostly they are between four and eight megabytes in size. I've been changing the feeds from the WordPress basic ones to Feed Burner. That should make it easier to subscribe. I too have difficulty a lot of times however. I have taken to clicking on the feed link and copying the URL from the browser and then pasting it into my Google Reader. That's how I subscribed to yours.

Do you teach often, to small groups, or your church? P.S. I subbed to your RSS via a live feed bookmark. I need to figure out how subscribe here via Feedblitz. Still new to the subscription thing!
