I made a link there so people could see your comment more easily.<BR/><BR/>Tim - I'm asking people to speak on Wednesdays during Lent on the question "What the Cross Means to Me." You could choose a 5 minute of 15 minute spot... Think about it!Steve Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378015932917535496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344424071192264900.post-44948445682002029932009-01-13T13:14:00.000-06:002009-01-13T13:14:00.000-06:00During my time on this planet I have seen a great ...During my time on this planet I have seen a great deal of evil. Sometimes the evil ones "get away with it", from our perspective. But there is no getting away with it in our relationship with Christ. We may be smart enough to keep secrets from our mom and dad, or from our husband or wife. Christ sees us for who we really are. So in the long run it is better to not have to many secrets.<BR/><BR/>On the flip side Christ's compassion for us is endless. There are a great many christian conversion in our prisons and jails. And while they may or may not be sincere at the time, more often than not people fall away when they get out and meet the temptations of the outside world. But is it possible for a person who has done real evil to get into heaven? Can a person who has murdered his parents, or molested his own children, repent and be baptized in the fire of the Holy Spirit? Christ sees us for who we truly are. His compassion and forgiveness is without end. At least as far as I can see.<BR/><BR/>For this I am eternally grateful<BR/><BR/>Tim RobbinsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211348121829600443noreply@blogger.com
