Once again , you are absolutely correct. You know and live in reality. Unfortunately, the majority of Christians live in a world of illusion where they create their own truth. There will come a time when Christ Himself will turn them away saying He does not know them; that He does not recognize them as one of his own. Sergio , the world views people like you and me as “fanatics “ or “extremists”. Most Christians don’t want to really know Christ and His teachings….the price is too high. Obedience is too much to ask. They just do as minimal as possible hoping that it will get them into heaven. Wanda
I sat under total conviction throughout this wonderful piece of work. My critical thinking hat blew my integrity right out the door.
I think it mostly exposed the subtle nuances We dance through without full examination. To be a new creature in the process of mind renewal takes significant awareness and the willingness to address what you've become aware of. Our old nature seeks comfort. It makes excuses.
I needed to read this today brother.
Many could gain much if we just look in the mirror and be honest with ourselves, then take that honesty to God to continue the renewing of our minds.
This article is a seven course meal. Now, I must go back to the top and clean the plates thoroughly. Then go back for seconds. I know it’ll be worth the discomfort of being stuffed.
Thanks Sergio. It couldn’t have been easy to think through and write.
I must ask myself which rooms of God’s house am I trying to renovate for my own comfort? And what do I do with the answer?
So true. And I would add one more catagory. On certain well shall we say, topics where we divide, like free will,vs election, stress the scriptures that support your position and do all the things you said with the ones that don't

Truth Wanda! The world is very counterintuitive.
Had to share on threads…this needs to get out🙏🏽🙌🏽
It’s been too long my friend glad to see your face on my thread lol. Thank you very much for sharing.🙏💙
Our flesh may naturally resist obedience. What looks too hard and limiting is what actually sets us free.
Disobedience brings torment. It was only 1 act of disobedience that started the fall of all mankind.
Obedience brings life,blessing, and peace.
Jesus said that those who DO the will of His Father will enter the kingdom.
Lord, give us a heart to love and obey you, having perfect trust that you are working all things for our good.
I always love your articles, as they inspire and challenge me.
Blessings...
