QUOTE(vanburton @ Mar 2 2007, 09:05 PM) [snapback]181808[/snapback] No doubt the church (SDA) needs to be purged. Maybe some of the tears should be those of joy knowing that God is in control and allowing things to work out for His purpose. "To hate and reprove sin, and at the same time to show pity and tenderness for the sinner, is a difficult attainment" AA 503 (read also pages 504-505) "I pity the fool!" comes to the harsh part of my mind. Its the tenderness part that is sometimes in short supply. Thank you for reminding me of the tender side, part of the fruit of the Spirit. And thank you, vanburton, for pointing out "the tears should be those of joy knowing that God is in control"!! You are SO right.  In His Love, Snoopy |

In His Love, Snoopy How beautiful when you snoop around for things that are true and lasting. -------------------- "Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end."
