Comment from Pyrrho
I admire believers in invisible gods in spite of all evidence to the contrary. I once believed that Atheism was as indefensible as Theism, and thus was an Agnostic. But Stephen Hawking laid that thought to rest and I embraced Atheism with relief.
Your are a fair to midlen talent and deserve an assessment of excellent for your craft in writing prose.

Yes, Jesus spoke of the relationship you have with Hawking...He said, "When a blind man follows a blind man, they both will fall into a ditch." Your relief is only temporary as you rest in the words of a mere man, which you will find out as soon as God pulls the plug on you. I sincerely hope you change your mind about both yours and Hawking's spiritual abilities and turn to Christ, the only One who can open your blind eyes. Dennis
Comment from Janet Foor
Well done Dennis. I have been in that place many times when the only prayer I was able to say was, "Help"! And, he was always there to pick me up and show me a better way.....only to be in that same place again and again.
Thank you for sharing Dennis. I always appreciate your insight and encouragement.
Blessings
Janet

God bless you, dear sister Janet. The good news is we can grow in grace and outlook to do things we never thought we could do by His Spirit. Much of true growth comes from our understanding of scripture. It is my conviction that we must learn further truth from the viewpoint and instruction of the Apostle Paul. To him was given the complete revelation of the mystery of the church and how we are to view ourselves as new creatures in God's sight, not just forgiven sinners. We have an "old nature" in which there is nothing good, but it was crucified with Christ and now the Spirit dwells forever in our new, sinless nature. So Paul says in Galatians 5, "Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." Note he doesn't say we won't have "the lusts of the flesh"...but the promise is we can overcome them by the Spirit's power. Blessings, YBIC, Dennis
Comment from Muffins
Is this a Holy Ghost sermon or what? I doubt there are any pews strong enough to hold the love and power of this message. Using Peter with all his weakness and strength is an excellent choice. People can relate to him and know that with there doubts and faults if they love Jesus, like Peter did, they will be saved.

Thank you for your kind comments....the scripture says (John 5:24) we are already saved and even now possess eternal life because of Christ. The Scripture also teaches us how to "walk in the Spirit" so we can overcome the ever present "lusts of the flesh". God bless you, Dennis

Well put. Even if I don't entirely agree because I'm not Christian, standing up for what you believe in is the most important and it's very obvious hat that's what you've done here.

I appreciate your commendation but would challenge your conclusion...there are many who are on the path to destruction in both this life and the life to come who should indeed abandon what they believe and come to Christ who alone is worthy of their love and commitment. God bless, Dennis (John 5:24)

It is indeed sometimes a very painful process but as you say, He always keeps us from sinking. The waves can be overwhelming but so glorious we you are on top with Jesus.

Comment from royowen
You are right Dennis, it really doesn't matter how many times one fails, it's only important that one presses on toward the "goal", speaking as someone who has failed many times, and once to the point of being so badly discouraged that I started questioning God like Asaph in Psalm 73, I thought God was "setting me up" But in the process God drew me back. That was twenty years ago, but I've learnt that maturing is a painful growing Process. Well done, Dennis, blessings Roy

Comment from jmdg1954
Wow, powerful stuff. I've been away from this site for over three months. I popped in for a bit tonight and came across your post. I'm glad I did.
I was enthralled from the start and particularly enjoyed the following:
SO DON'T QUIT ON JESUS! And if you HAVE quit, come on back; there is complete recovery...
How true... Nicely done. John
