It amazes me how people like that can preach what they do, and then get a bunch of other people to follow them. I wish you had been down here the past 2 weeks. There was this guy who was holding a seminar on the end times and armageddon. I didn't go, but several people here at work went, just for the sake of curiosity, and some of the stuff he was talking about was nutty. If you want to check them out, here's their website http://www.surewordministries.net/. Come to find out, towards the end of the seminar, they are a part of the Seventh-Day Advent church. These people are wierd. That guy is a quack! It amazes me how people like that can preach what they do, and then get a bunch of other people to follow them.

]]> Comment on Dog Fence, Sin, God, and Discipline by Sue Miller http://brad.braddena.com/2007/07/13/dog-fence-sin-god-and-discipline/#comment-2 Sue Miller Wed, 18 Jul 2007 15:26:28 +0000 http://brad.braddena.com/?p=12#comment-2 Hopefully we at least understand that the boundaries God sets for us are for our own good. Relating your blog to Pastor's sermon last Sunday, I wonder. Why is it we believers often feel compelled to impose our individual God-placed boundaries on others who may not have be given the same yard to play in? This is an old struggle of mine... Why are people who should understand grace better than most the ones who tend to say, "Shame!" the fastest. I include myself in this charge -- I see someone at church dressed in a provocative manner and I too think, "Shame." But what right do I have? Where grace and correction collide, why am I inclined to correct? Maybe, for that person, the Holy Spirit isn't working on modesty. And, while modesty is a biblical concept it isn't as though we have clear standards like, "Don't murder." (I don't have an agenda here, by the way. I'n not sneakily thinking of some church decision and trying to trap people. It is simply an observation I've made particularly from our years among groups that promote separation.) So, thanks for the blog and encouraging conteplation of God's grace and work in my life. Well done. Hopefully we at least understand that the boundaries God sets for us are for our own good.
