Time is shortened for when our Lord shall return. The more information that can be distributed to lead people to our Lord, the better. Also, there are those who need to be strengthened in our Lord - don't we all? That is one reason that He led me to create this blog. Of course, it is NOT reasonable to place here to be copied/printed/distributed all of what our Lord leads me to author. What I will place here for such purposes is what GOD instructs and when He instructs.

CONDITIONS:

It is requested that if you elect to copy, print, or distribute anything authored by me here that you give written attribution to me as author on the subject copies. Also, permission is granted only if the subject pieces are copied and used in full content (no changes, "editorial" or otherwise, and no excerpts, except for several sentences, or less.) In addition, permission is NOT granted for usage in FOR PROFIT publications.

My other blogs have colored backgrounds, such as orange, which do not bode well for copying/printing/distribution purposes. This blog has a white background which, typically, works better for such purposes.

Note: The above stated CONDITIONS apply to electronic transmissions (e-mails, blogs, webpages/sites, attachments, newsletters, and link usages...) as well.

Thank you for your consideration and indulgence.

POOL LESSONS

POOL LESSONS
Some fiction about truth

Three men are at the pool.

One of them is afraid to go in so he wades in the water with his feet.

One of them heads to the kiddie pool and goes in.  He's waist deep in the water.  He splashes around there.

Kids look at him as the intruder that he is. 

One of them asks, "Hey mister, why are you in the kiddie pool?!"

Sheepishly, the man responds, "I like it here."

The kid says to him, "But you don't belong in the kiddie pool."

The other kids chime in with agreement.

The man is ashamed.  He leaves the kiddie pool and joins the man who is wading with his feet in the water. 

The kids look on and shake their heads.  They go on about having their pool fun.

Meanwhile the third man is in the deep part of the pool.  He has dived off the diving board with daring moves and exercises.  He's swimming with strong strokes.  It's obvious that he's in a place of immense enjoyment.  He's having a ball with the other deep swimmers.  It's a splash blast!

The two water waders look over at the deep activities.  The waders look at one another - "Naw" - they agree.  They stay ankle deep.

That scenario is like some of what goes on in Christian communities. 

There are those who desire to be ankle deep in GOD - a little something something with GOD.

Then there are those who desire to be in the kiddie pool - about waist deep - - some more of GOD but not all of GOD.

Then there are those who desire deep water experiences with GOD - all the way in - fully covered.

Are we wading, kidding, or swimming in the high tides?

Scriptures from the King James Bible:

1 Corinthians 13:11
...but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
