Ronda,
That seems to be the gospel of this present day in many churches--It
doesn't matter what I do, how I live, whether I sin or not, God loves me
anyway.
Sure, parents will always love their wayward children, but it doesn't
mean that they approve of their child's lifestyle. Paul tells us that they
may be saved but so as by fire, with their works burned up. I want to hear
the Lord say, well done, faithful servant. Repentance, a word that is
lacking in the modern permissive church, is hardly mentioned these days,
neither the need for holiness or the fear of the Lord.
It is certainly a sad commentary that it is preached that one little
decision is all you need with no accountability or consequences.
Anyway, that's the way I see it and the way I read the word.
Vinny

Subject: thoughts andquestions about a familar song
You all have probably sung or heard this chorus:
It’s your kindness that brings us to repentance Oh Lord,
Knowing that you love me nomater what I do,
Makes me want to love you too!
It’s not that God willlove me no mater what I do that makes me want to loe
Him, that seems to imply that one can live as he or she wishes with out any
consequence!
I love God because He lovedme in spite of allmy mistakes, His love is not
license for making more mistakes, nor freedom to choose selfishness but
power to live as Christ did! Besides doesn’t repentance ean a change of
direction…that would seem to say not doing the things one did before!Just
thinking!
Are theremore words to that song or is it just a chorus?
Rhonda
