I'm glad I'm a simple man.
Some of these debates get so deep that I have no idea what is being said and I can't finish reading big long answers and make any sense out of them.

Yes, I guess I'm just a simple man.
I love Jesus and I trust in him to take care of me.
Oh, I may complain along the way, but I think we all do to some degree.

I read my Bible and get great joy to see I am doing some things right.
That I am understanding love.
That I don't agree with the evils of the world.
That God is in control.

I guess that's it.
That's how it is for a simple man.
 
Nothing wrong with being a simple man who loves the Lord as you do. If the basics is all you need there is certainly nothing wrong with that. We love you just the way you are :hug

Sad to say I'm an over complicated man. Not because I am over complicated but because I'm having to deal with all the crap I've been fed with over the years in church. Do this do that, if you don't your not saved. Now I am questioning that. I'm questioning if I don't pray in tongues I'm not saved, if I sin and don't confess it it's not forgiven.

I must admit though that when my soul despairs and I come before God he says to me "Let's go back to Jesus, focus your thoughts on him" When I do then it is so simple. I find myself being simple, belief in him, his love for me, paying the price for my sins, thanking him I'm forgiven and just wanting to be like him.

If being simple is focusing on Jesus and his promises then let's all be simple.
 
Would that by Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man, or Shinedown Simple Man?

Lol, I was once moral majority.
boy, did I think highly of myself.
then I became so far right, I felt like a fellow John Bircher.
Then I realized I was really way to the left, and that Jesus was really way to the left.
So then I put it all together and I realized I'm just a simple man.
 
Simple is good. Jesus was simple. The Most High makes everything simple.

Prove God. Prove Jesus.

My testimony is within myself because its unexplainable even the flesh might not express it. I mean serious, how I have changed only myself knows and Christ.

How could I go from 20 years on meds, diagnosed manic depressant with phobic anxiety and ADD, bed ridden and afraid, angry, abusive, on welfare, too suddenly seeking Christ and now being able to be myself, a fulltime job, speak my mind without fear, go to work and hold a job, and really just live for the moment and be myself.

100% The Gospel, Apostle Paul and the most important Jesus Christ has helped me, more than words out peoples mouths, even family.

The world will pass away but my words will never pass away. Its truth.

Too right Jesus, your Father most High Bless you.

Blessed is the Lamb of The Most High.

Yea OK I got a got a drinking problem, I smoke, I got tattoos, but i love Christ. I don't care if people say I'm condemned and I'm wrong going to hell. I still love him. He's the King, the Most High gave Christ authority to help me.

Great testimony, thanks for sharing what God has done so far in your life. The amazing thing is that there is more to come. We are ALL a work in progress. There is hope in the name of Jesus. As long as we cling on to that hope knowing he loves us and he can work in us, he will.
 
I feel a lot of the time my light don't shine, I don't show it, I don't practice what I preach, im not the best influence, but spiritually my heart is good, but my flesh is a mess.

I was just called to be saved. Not be some guru.

You know Kiwidan, the best witnessing anybody could do is a changed life and credit given to God.
Some people want proof that God exists. Your story is proof because nothing else could cause such a change. God is real. The Holy Spirit within us is real. The change we experience is the proof.

Thanks for sharing. It's encouraging to us all.

John 3:16 made simple:
  1. God loved.
  2. God gave.
  3. I believe.
  4. I have.

You know Wrg, I've written and have read paragraphs and paragraphs on John 3.16.

I kind of like the above better!
What more is there to know?!

Those way to the right and those way to the left will eventually meet at some point.
In Whackyville.

I must say, however, that Jesus was not of the left. Let alone way to the left.
Why do you think He was of the left?

Holiness, prayer, healing, and spiritual power.
That went against all the rulers of Jerusalem.
