Striving for Spiritual Peerfection

WalterUlrich
WalterUlrich


If the cross of Jesus Christ means what it should to us and we know that we must carry it and die on it and then rise and live above it, we will have a constant desire to advance and gain spiritual ground. The nervous people who want to put on the brakes, who feel the necessity for restraint in matters of spiritual desire and yearning for perfection, oft use the expression, "Let's not get fanatical about this!


I can only ask: Is it fanatical to want to go on until you can perfectly love God and perfectly praise Him. Is it fanatical to find divine joy leaping up within your heart?  Is it fanatical to find the willingness within your being to say, "Yes Lord, Yes Lord!" AND THUS LIVE DAILY IN THE WILL OF GOD SO THAT YOU ARE LIVING IN HEAVEN WHILE YOU ARE LIVING ON EARTH?

What I mean to say is, the spelling error points out the simple fact that even when we try our hardest, we can never reach even physical perfection on this earth, let alone spiritual perfection, until Jesus returns.

Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...

    I haven't been around in a long time. I am admin in a private group, and I would like to upgrade someone else to that position. I thought I knew how to do that, but the prompt has gone missing. Or is it not allowed to upgrade someone else to admin? I just find "ban and demote" under "Edit." I don't get notifications to DS anymore, but I wil come back in a few days to find out the answer. There...
