We were blessed and encouraged with all of your replies and will be doing both messages. The question was which one would we do in this Sunday&#8217;s fellowship?\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been working on two message thoughts.\u00a0 One is entitled, &#8220;The Reprobate Mind&#8221;\u00a0 and the other is &#8220;Our intimate love affair with Fear&#8221;.\u00a0 At the time of this email tonight, 77% said they would like to hear &#8220;Our intimate love affair with Fear&#8221;.\u00a0 There were some interesting comments on why this message will be discussed first.\u00a0 I trust the Father to follow this message with &#8220;The Reprobate Mind&#8221; next week. Both messages carry a strong and powerful Word concerning who we are In Christ as Sons of God the Father!\u00a0 So many today advocate having an intimate love affair with the Lord, or with Jesus, or with God or with Christ.\u00a0 Have you taken a close look at the landscape lately?\u00a0 It&#8217;s littered with multitudes of different institutional doctrines, denominational beliefs, non-denominational beliefs systems, and organizational theologies. Some of these things are just really unbelievable, all using the Bible and declaring they love God and His Word! Oh, and they are right and everyone else is wrong.\u00a0 There might be some truth in those words.\u00a0 You see, because of the &#8220;desensitization to the person of Christ&#8221; and not Jesus of Nazareth, the gospel many preach, teach and proclaim cannot and will never produce an intimate love affair with the Lord, or with Jesus, or with God or with Christ. I know that&#8217;s a pretty strong statement.\u00a0 But there is an intimate love affair. And that love affair is with Fear.\u00a0 What is &#8220;an intimate love affair&#8221; anyway?\u00a0 And who gets to decide when it becomes intimate? So, let&#8217;s talk about it&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2017 Mar 12th Streaming First, I want to thank each of you who responded to the email sent out this week concerning the message for fellowship.
