frea indeed

[j3frea]

Salutations to all,

I figured, since I'm new, I should introduce myself like it says we should...
So hello everyone - I'm j3frea...

First I would like to quote a nice hymn:
My goal is God Himself, nor joy nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
'Tis His to lead me there - not mine, but His -
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
and love can trust her Lord to lead her there.
Upheld by Him, my soul is foll'wing hard,
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.


But there's only really one thing that I need to say:
I am saved by the grace of God.

I am posting to announce that I have thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with all on the board. I will be moving out to college soon though and I'm not sure what my Internet connection will be like.

Thanks all for the great discussions and in case you are wondering - I will be studying theology! A BTh; it's a three year degree and I'm exceptionally excited about it although I'll be away from home which will be a huge adjustment but I'm really looking forward to it. To all those of you who continue fighting the good fight; don't get entangled in the affairs of everyday life but proclaim what you have learnt.

I share this thought with Jim Elliot:
"Lord, make me a crisis man. Let me not be a mile-post on a single road, but make me a fork that men must turn one way or another in facing Christ in me."
i.e. Let me not be the guy they walk past and has no impact on them - let me be the guy who when they finish talking to me left them knowing that there was a broad way that leads to destruction and a narrow way that leads to life and that they were waltzing down the path to death.

All those who are not saved and happen to stumble upon this post: Let me say only this; "God is now declaring that all men must repent" - that is not a suggestion.
