The message at church yesterday really has me thinking.
" If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear." Psalm 66:18
Paul tells us since we are no longer under the law but under grace should we continue to sin, heck no! So this is doesn't exempt us from obeying Gods laws. Even the Savior obeyed the law, shouldn't we?
The funk we put between us and god drowns our cries out to the Lord. Makes me think back to what Jesus said,"With the faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains". If we draw closer to Him,He will draw closer to us as we cry out for repentance. It is actually the Lord that removes iniquity and grants us that repentance.
Pastor said this "grace" separates us from being under the law regarding salvation.
But once accepting faith in Christ the law is a standard on how we as Christians should live. whew my brain hurts.

It's good to see your blog in somewhat of a normal looking order...and I'm glad you're back to the blogging world!
You always hear that God answers prayers three ways: Yes, No and Wait. James MacDonald with Walk in the Word, has a fourth. Based on the Psalm the fourth way God "answers" prayer is, "Are you talking to me?" (God speaking).
It's not that He ignores us, it's that He is patient, waiting for us to come with repentance then the answer is yes, no or wait.
Got to love it!
You're so encouraging Phil.
Victor that fourth answer reminds me of Deuteronomy 23:14. (Patience)Gods is around and lends His helping hand as the ocassion arises so tighten up. If your caught with your pants around your ankles when he comes at you, He'll leave you hanging for a bit........
Hook a brother up Phil :-) Email me some ideas.
