Impromptu "yard-chat" with LD Oneal this morning, rather uplifting, and couldn't help feel that I was the worldly kind of seedy one in the chat, and Oneal was certainly the more up standing, right standing. LD Oneal proves it both by his faith and his works.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit... 1 Peter 3
I was thinking of Plato's formal and informal universes. It occurs that God, God and heaven are the formal, perfect universe. From that there is a paltry facsimile, made in some similarity, but paltry by comparison, and that is our world: an informal world of broken choices.
As they say in the church, "a lost and dying world." We strive to be the light, in that sin-drenched world of man, that informal, imperfect world, and we look to the next, kind of a "The Republic" of the soulish realm, Heaven itself.
To say there is a perfect place with a perfect house, a mansion, for each of us, awaiting, that is the formal universe, that if there was a government, it is wholly righteous, if there is a food, it is perfect manna, if there is a past time, it gives glory to God.
Just as some strive to realize heaven on earth, still yet some of us contemplate the master of heaven.
Give to the site if you so choose.
We also congratulate Charles Stanley and In Touch for 45 years of service.
*Pray for the addict who still suffers.
