  • The "fact" that God needs nothing from us is apparent. What seems to be missing is the fact that we need God and the "gifts" of God to mankind that God has so Graciously provided mankind that are resident in us. Because all have sinned and "fallen" short of the Glory of God who does not need us, God now gives us to our neighbor who DOES need us! It is a calling of "self" sacrifice for the edification of our neighbor.

    I have found the most self centered persons are the least likely to help others who truly need help. Me first, after I am taken care of, then and only then will I think about others! How sick!

    The world groans and travails the Apostle wrote for The Church. The Church is the Divine expression of Our Self Sacrificing God through His Son. The Church afterall is the Home of God Himself, God Our Heavenly Father, God, the demonstrator of selfless love and self sacrifice, Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost who continually without fault sanctifies, sanctifies, sanctifies our dirty feet morning by morning so that we get to start over each and every day serving our neighbors seeing, as I said already, because God does not need us, our neighbors do! We are the Most High's dwelling place!

    If those five principles for living help you John serve your neighbors, your immediate neighbor being your wife and then, and then, and then as the circle enlarges outwards, then they will be beneficial to the work of the Kingdom. If after taking them into your bosom for your own edification, who is benefited?

    I leave this one admonition of Paul the Apostle's though for your consideration as undoubtedly it is there for you too. If you do not have these sorts of coverings working in your life continually I don't suppose the God of Peace will be present after you leave:::>

    Php 4:9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me--practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
  • I'm having a hard time understanding the point of your post. Are you making an argument for servant leadership? If so, that's right on!
