Yes, and you said it well. We need the Holy Spirit to help us stand with both love and truth.

Thank you Ann for a most timely reminder. I feel surrounded by sinking sand but at least I'm standing on the Rock. Help us Jesus.

Thank you Ann ! Very well said ! Thank you,Thank you! It can be so lonely standing on Truth,especially in your own family! Love and HOPE, understanding of what sin is,but not bending to except or conform to it! In any form. In Christ the Solid Rock we stand! All other ground is sinking sand! The Truth surely sets us Free!!!

Well said, thank you. I feel part of the Church's struggle is also because the Church moved away from the original structure of "five-fold" ministry. Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher. It essentially eliminated or restricted the Holy Spirit from working within the Church effectively. I agree- we need to humble ourselves and invite HS to return in all his forms and gifting. Without HS guidance, and God's Glory, the church will die.
