Title: Pilgrims, what think ye?
Post by: miles on January 02, 2005, 09:47:32 AM
i (sorry in cyber land i don't use puctuation, caps, proper grammer etc., live with it!) just wanted to float this out there for some feed-back. we try to keep heart as we awaken each am, have our quiet time, then turn on or read the am paper. i know with me, it takes about 10 minutes before i've heard or read something that greatly discourages me. i don't have to list all the things that are a part of our politically correct culture and break our hearts.  if you lived in the 40's 50's and attended school you know how good things were. (understood, we will always be an in-perfect people dealing with a perfect truth-we were and are sinners saved by grace & top of that list of sinful behaviors were  predjiduces, agreed) put in the most general of terms, we felt secure, things were orderly-the worked-we were the greatest nation on this earth. well to my question-is there ever a point where we as believers who remember that world, should say as our father pilgrims did, enough.  as abrahmam said to lot-if you take the east i'll take the west, if you want the west i'll take the east.  fellow country men we've had enough, you take the land west of the missippi and we'll (believers) will take the east or v.v.? or should we keep fighting for what we believe is right until the Lord returns? any thoughts?

Hi Miles....welcome to the forum.  As far as punctuation, caps, etc., just try giving some extra space between sentences.

Your question.

Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint

1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses

2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:


Keep on keeping on...the retirement party comes later, and it's gonna be a DOOZY!! ;D

And what a party, it will be!

I am sorry too since I will not read past this sentence nor any other post you might make unless you reconsider your position. There is absolutely no legitimate excuse for poor spelling and grammar- particularly when things like "spell check" are readily available. It DOES impact readability as it is a profound distraction for the reader. When a statement is loaded with mistakes, that is what I see- not the message. To me, it's offensive- just as if someone were talking while chewing a mouthful of food or picking their nose in public. It shows a blatant lack of regard for others, as if taking that extra minute or two isn't worth whomever you're addressing. It's like saying "I have something to say to you but you mean so little to me that I flatly refuse to take any care in how I say it."
