Rick, I agree with your message 100%.  I think we are all on the same quest, to seek out the truth, to understand why we were placed on the earth at this particular time in history, what our purposes are, what the Lord wants us to do with the knowledge we've gained so far, and once we realize that purpose and gain understanding, from His word only, it becomes  incumbant upon us to be obedient to what we've learned and put it into practice and, as we all know, that's usually not an easy thing to do.
 
We all come from different religious backgrounds and let's face it, most of what we were taught is not biblical.  Once we are shown the truth, by the Holy Spirit teaching us through the Lord's word, ( which includes the old as well as the new testament), it is up to us to put it into practice, walk in it daily and be a light to others, especially as the times grow darker and darker.
 
I appreciate so many of the postings I read here each day, they are such a blessing.  I gain encouragement and strength (to keep on going forward in Him)  from each of you daily. I can relate to so many of you because we are all seeking.  We are all watching.  We are all awaiting the soon arrival of our Bridegroom.  All of us that visit and post to this site want to hear Him say "Well done, my Bride" when we finally see Him face to face.
 
I just want to end by saying God bless and keep each of you  Doves around the globe, and let's continue to remain diligent in watching for the soon return of our Lord and Bridegroom!!!!
