A Day of Review
Well I'm back after several days in which I could not blog and others very ably filled in for me. Life is full and as I sit here early Tuesday morning I'm aware that several good blogs have been posted about which I've not commented at all. So I think I will take this post to thank these guys, and to post about what I've read from you guys:
1) Bruce has called us to both a life of vigilance and a life of prayer. The constant danger that our souls are in in this fallen world requires that our souls be in constant prayer and communion with God.
The world will devour us if we are not consumed with God. Hunger for God or you will be stuffed with the trivial and the terrible of this world. Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. We simply cannot be guarded enough, for let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he falls. Thank you Bruce; such counsel never, ever, ever grows dated.
2) Peter has called us to a life of earnest witness--citing C.T. Studd in urging us to set up a rescue shop one yard away from hell if need be. Friends, people--image-bearers of the eternal God--are perishing right next door to our lives and we hardly raise a sound of concern. I believe that to have hearts like our Lord's that weep over our Jerusalems today, we need to think more often and more deeply about hell; we have to pray for hearts made tender and grieving; we have to care nothing for self, and about nothing but God's glory and sinners' good.
3) Tim B. has invited husbands winsomely to be instruments of beautifying grace in their wives' lives by being men of character and grace and humility and love. O to be such a man for my bride of 31 years. I want to be a better man and a better husband everyday, that she might become a better and more beautiful wife every day. i agree with Tim fully that my wife's beauty of soul, and even of body is largely the fruit of whether her husband helps her maintain and deepen it by the quality of his life and care.
Guys thank you for the timely and needed words
It sure is good to be partners with others who share a passion for what is good.
We're all debtors, and the better for it.

Wow, excellent re-cap, thank you for taking the time to "catch up" and giving us the opportunity to re-apply the truths you have just re-emphasized. That's alot of "re-'s", I know... but truly, it was helpful to read you post. Perhaps I shall re-read it!
I re-main,
PETROS
I am relieved that you remain Petros. Really.
