Bible

May I step in for Paul for a second, I love his openings---so to you folks here on the Bible Board this morning if I may----Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."----from 1 Corinthians -----then also, "to the church who is called to be saints"----you & I believe so we are saints...but you knew that, didn't you?...But the way saint is used today is anything but a regular everyday sinner like us, be believe yet we struggle, we try to do what is right but we fail, we ask for strength and courage to over come evil, but some how or another it seems to find us anyway, then we ask for forgiveness and then we receive forgiveness......hard to picture this life as one of a saint.....but God has called us out to be saints....we are not anywhere near perfect, but by God's Grace we are called to be saints. A saint is to belong to God.------ (from the footnotes) SAINT means "one set apart"---people are saints because of God's love and call, not exemplary behavior---

In my footnotes in Romans I saw this and wanted to share----"People do not obey to be saved---they obey because they are saved"

OK---Got your ole brain going for a Saturday morning-----God Bless and have a great week-end

"Every" time I think of a week-end I remember those days back in the Military and hoping and wish'n for week-end liberty and thinking maybe we will get a 72 hr. liberty and only dream of being offered a 96 hour liberty.....I said every time and I honestly think it is EVERY time------can't believe that was 58 years ago------that ole song----"That was the days my friend, I thought they would never end"
