my God has made abundant provision for me. psalm 23. I put on the whole armor of God (ephesians 6:13-18)and I am thankful for it and all other mercies I may be granted.

i have to give this talk in a few weeks.

any ideas.

im the most educated person in the hall.

you said: "Very interesting comment... VERY... in light of some other (comments) to and about... and expectations of... others. Very interesting. Look how long it took you to "get" that, though..."...

you have no idea what I "get" because I depend on God, not man...(or the demon belphegor in your case)

dear sab...

thank you for your comment but the thrust of the sermon idea was that paul humbled himself to God...not man. a divine lesson which anyone in the WTBTS would do well to learn. (your listening skills suck when you have an axe to grind )

dear 2tone...

good morning!...

you might start with the idea that God responds to a person with humility. someone who thinks they know it all is not open to being taught. Paul himself was one such person, being very knowledgable in the hebrew scriptures and all the interpretations given by those who were called SCRIBES he thought himself to be complete in knowledge because he was a PHARISEE who could teach these interpretations...ie. woe to you scribes and pharisees... Jesus was the only one who was able to break through his wall of resistance. Jesus was the only one who could humble this man. He had to "learn" to walk humbly with his God.

ask your audience if they are willing to humble themselves to God or if they believe that they are complete in their knowledge. can God take them to a place of complete divine education willingly or would He find Himself subjected to them...ie. Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?

just an idea.

love michelle

dear AGuest...

you said: "Like JWs who think that attending 3-5 meetings a week is demonstrative of their faith, many think faith is some ritualistic, repetitious conduct that can be outwardly demonstrated by things like attending church, participating in field service, given sermons, etc.. It demonstrates faith in the WTBTS, perhaps, yes... or the doctrines of those who established such institutional ways of "worshipping" God... but certainly not faith in God and/or Christ. "...

regularily attending church and participating in a faith community produces discipline, motivation, fear/reverence, willingness, joy in communion/recognition of the Body, fidelity, regulation, and anticipation...and it is a great place of rest from labours! ...it most certainly does demonstrate something to God.

I'm thinking that your demon belphegor just doesn't like church because his intention is to promote strife, distrust, jealousy and dissatisfaction in relationships.
