I know I loose sight of it far too often. I'm glad to know that the Threads series helped you to think about it more.<br /><br />I saw one of the videos (I believe the second). To be honest, though, I can't remember it enough to share anything. I think it would be good for me to watch it again - maybe even to watch the whole series. But realistically, I don't know if I will. For the next couple of months, God willing, I'll be away from home and very busy with volunteer work. I expect that will challenge my priorities... I hope, by God's grace, to deal with everything in a way that honours Him.Jordy Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825438584409420647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-14349496016070640272016-11-25T21:13:07.979+11:002016-11-25T21:13:07.979+11:00That is a big hurdle!

Thank-...I so enjoy your thoughtful comments, Jordy! Thank-you! Yes, it amazes me how God tied all these seemingly unrelated things together in a perfect and powerful way, and I’m sure He’s not finished yet! I believe I have your email address, so I’ll send you some more of the references I mentioned. :)<br /><br />Yes, it seems the disciples did understand that more clearly than we do. In fact, that’s something I’ve gotten out of the <i>Threads</i> series so far: how real and powerful the gospel is, as David Platt explains it through the five gospel threads. He also makes it clear that if we truly care for others, sharing the gospel with them would be our highest priority – that is convicting. Have you listened to some/all of the series? What did you get out of it?

I’m glad you chose to combat fear, and seriously, just from brief snippets I know, I consider you very brave.<br /><br />Thanks heaps for your encouragement, Faith. It means a lot, and right back at you: keep holding on to Him. xxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543574650970283141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-87065883368853880502016-11-25T21:07:14.952+11:002016-11-25T21:07:14.952+11:00That’s amazing!

And now I get to share in that just a little as you make public some of these things He's teaching you. Thank you so much! You mentioned there being more verses that you've studied. Is this comments section an appropriate place to ask about them? :)<br /><br />Also, what has stood out to you most about the Threads series?<br /><br />They were really brave, weren't they - the first disciples? I think they must have had a better grasp of how real the whole gospel message is, and of how long eternity is, and of how fleeting our time on this earth is.<br /><br />Ps. How sweet of you to link to our discussion! May it be to God's glory.Jordy Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825438584409420647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-12777891899847536202016-11-23T05:45:49.069+11:002016-11-23T05:45:49.069+11:00that was so beautiful.
