Follow-up from Anonymous

Your harsh words wound the heart and disturb the soul. The words from the email are mine, not Mr. Joines and they were written for both sides to hear. I was simply trying to say God has not made us judges of one another, but FORGIVERS of one another. Since we are living by the Spirit, let our behavior be guided by the Spirit (Gal 5:25). As a Christian, I use the Word of God because it is specific, concrete knowledge of God's plan, promises and purpose. It takes 5% input to become a Christian, but 95% input to live as a Christian. The Christian life is not just a list of well meaning religious exercises. It is a new, full time attitude of heart, trying to show wisdom and tolerance, sincere kindness and loving towards others in word and deed. Can't we all use this circumstance to learn so we can have a closer fellowship with Him?
