Romans 15:30-33 - Corps - June 4,1980
ROMANS 15:30-33 June 4, 1980 Romans 15:30 The heart of a man of God may be seen. It may be appreciated by some and loved by some, but I guarantee you, it will never be fully understood. That man of God, his strength as well as his weaknesses which he knows better than anybody else will basically never be known except within his own soul. You will always find people who try to outguess the man of God. They will try to out reason him, they'll try to out think him. But in truth, Corps, they will never really know. The best that they can ever do is accept his life and bless him whenever and wherever possible and just let that man of God walk and live out his life. In that way they will reap the greatest benefits of that man's soul. The greatest tenderness and humanness of a man of God and at the same time the great steel and stone strength of that man are a paradox. One moment that man of God appears to be so strong.

In other words, I lovingly, almost beggingly implore you to stand with me by what our Lord Jesus Christ, or because of truth what our: Lord Jesus Christ accomplished completely for all of us. "and for the love of the Spirit" -"for" = dia, by or through the love of the Spirit, meaning and by the love of God. God who so loved that He gave His only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Chri
From this work
The hope is the only thing that teaches rewards, I believe that's all that ever keeps a man of God going. I think there's a record in Hebrews 11 that substantiates what I'm sharing with the Corps tonight. Hebrews 11:38-40 Hebrews 12:1 Men and women of God who really believed because of the hope. The first was the first hope of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what kept these men going. They were willing to wander around, to be in deserts, to hide in mountains, dens, caves, etc. simply for one reason, Corps, to move the Word. That's why I said earlier what I said about getting married. I think it's wonderful to get married, but where in the Word of God does it mean that you can't move God's Word? It's more important to move God's Word than get married. Everything is always contingent upon moving the Word. Anything you can do is fine as long as we can move the Word. The Word, th
