104..FOR BELIEVERS

I was going to write a different article for my blog, but something made me decide to  write this instead.

This is for YOU Believers!

As of today, this blog has  received 15,294 viewers..a fairly impressive number.

Now, that doesn't represent the number of "people" who have viewed my blog, but rather it's the number of times my blogs have been "viewed".

It's impossible  for me to determine how many "people" have viewed my blog.

But, this I do know, "believers" will be few in number.

I remember when I was  attending  bible study at Concordant Publishing's home in Santa Clarita (before they closed it down in the latter part of the 20th Century), some members would feel bad because there were few were in attendance.  I told them, that if I ever attended a religious gathering with many people, I was in the wrong place.

Looking at the "Stats" I notice, happily, that the video, GOD'S MESSENGERS has 2,844 views.. the more the merrier, because I want the "world" to realize that there is "living proof" of the existence of God.

Now, in the last few months, "views" have rarely exceeded 32.  Initial views usually hover around 10.  Wthout knowing who "they" are and whether or not "they" are the same ones that read my article, as soon as I publish it, I will just have to assume that they are.

Based on this assumption, I believe that you "Believers", number no more that a dozen, and that's fine.

I know that God has given you the grace to "believe".  You may have been searching for a long time for the truth, as did I, or you may have just recently been given the grace to understand.

It doesn't make any difference, when this understanding took place, it's only enough that it has occurred, and as believers of Paul's teachings/gospel, you are a select few.."many are called, and few are chosen".  

You bask in the glory of God, and are privy to the wonders  that are and of those to come.

When I was presenting my play, ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN..The life of St Paul, in so many disparate denominational churches,  the teachings of Paul were disseminated through drama to those who would never hear the truth in their church.

 I was an instrument of God simply by doing my play, and He chose those, through His grace, to understand the truth.  

Again, as now, I have no idea who might have become "believers" through the drama.

And it is not for me to know..only to continue bringing Paul's truth in the manner I am doing currently.

Paul tells us to help spread the gospel in whatever way you can.

But, be selective in how and to whom you attempt this.

Don't do as my friend John  did, when he attended bible study and couldn't understand why they didn't believe him, when he told them that what they were teaching was wrong , in the Baptist Church.

If you are like I was, you probably are filled with a burning desire to spread the 'word"..that's not a bad thing, but use the method best suited to you and don't" butt your head against a stone wall"..Good luck and God will bless..paulnbob
