"Gino "her as well" Letter"


 
Hello Gino, John and Doves,
 
Gino wrote an interesting letter last week - 
 
Gino always has thought provoking questions that often lead to more questions and many of those questions I've asked myself and have no real answer for.  I'm often just as stumped or I'd be throwing out a 'guess'.
 
John's site is unique in that it's 'letters' - like letters to a friend.  Where we can present ideas, share a news article, ask questions, tell stories, encourage one another, especially about the nearness of the Rapture.  It's a site of many "Watchmen".  We are doing as Jesus commanded us - "Watch for Him!"
 
I see Gino as the 'question asking' letter writer on Doves - these questions are necessary to get people thinking, pulling out their Bibles and studying scripture for themselves.  Not just reading The Bible - but studying it and looking for answers to many, many questions that we all have.  Many of us may not have an answer but we realize there is much we don't know or understand and we're not alone.  We share those questions with Gino.  
 
We need everyone's letters - as Gino wrote, whether we agree with a comment or not.  It keeps us motivated, studying, questioning, and searching The Word.  Everyone has something unique to add.  I know it can be time consuming with busy lives to write out a letter, but if the topic is important to you, it's important to write it down and share it and I believe that the Holy Spirit will direct whatever person needs to read that letter to that letter.  That's how I feel about my often long and boring/'newsy' letters - if the Holy Spirit wants a person to read a particular letter, they'll be directed to it - for whatever they can glean from it.  I believe that the Holy Spirit will move people to the letters that will impact their lives...somehow.  Maybe encouraging them, maybe giving them some news that will help them make a decision, maybe getting them to go to their Bible, maybe keeping them informed on what the devil is up to......
 
As I've written before, God will sort it all out. He has all the answers.  And as Gino wrote 'we'll think back on all of this when we're in the New Jerusalem".  One day we'll have the whole picture.  All that will matter is The Truth - God's Truth.   All of our questions will be answered and differences will no longer exist.
 
Thank you, Gino, for your insightful letter.  Yes, even Paul and Peter disagreed on certain topics.  And the Sanhedrin and the Essenes differed in how they interpreted the Torah.  And the messianic Jews had problems with the Gentile Christians!  All in that first century.  I, too, find it challenging to 'influence' someone's beliefs - ex. I have friends who believe there is no such thing as the Rapture.  They have their verses, I have mine and ne'er the two shall meet!  It is what it is and we respect each other's different views.  
 
In Paul's many letters - to his 'friends' - he always began his letters lovingly and respectfully and ended his letters with loving salutations.  He truly cared about the people he wrote to.  Helping them, encouraging them, teaching them, admonishing them...  Always desiring good for them.  Doves letters are to 'friends' also.  Friends we have yet to meet.
 
And I agree with Gino about Donna.  Donna Danna is a dear woman of God with many, many talents!  Her recent poems were an amazing surprise and the 'gematria' letters are far above my pay grade - we have several letter writers that just amaze me!  She is truly inspired!  And Donna's news articles show us how bad things are and which way the world is heading.  Just check them out.
 
There is only ONE Truth to every question and that's God's Truth.  We will fully understand when we're in Heaven.  Until then...we'll keep looking up and we'll keep the candle burning.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!

Point Of Grace – Keep The Candle Burning Lyrics

You think you're alone there in your silent storm
But I've seen the tears you've cried falling down and trying to drown
The flame of hope inside
Let me tell you now, tell you now

When you're walking in the dead of night
And your soul is churning
When your hope seems out of sight
Keep the candle burning
All it takes is one steady heart in a world that's turning
Shine a light and pierce the dark
Keep the candle burning
Keep the candle burning

When you're down and you're discouraged
When the darkness clouds your view
You've got to gather up your courage
You know the lord is gonna see you through
Let me tell you now
Tell you now

When you're walking in the dead of night
And your soul is churning
When your hope seems out of sight
Keep the candle burning
All it takes is one steady heart in a world that's turning
Shine a light and pierce the dark
Keep the candle burning
Keep the candle burning

One ray of light always breaks through
Follow wherever he takes you
Wherever he takes you

When you're walking in the dead of night
And your soul is churning
When your hope seems out of sight
Keep the candle burning
All it takes is one steady heart in a world that's turning
Shine a light and pierce the dark
Keep the candle burning
Keep the candle burning - you gotta keep the candle burning!

When you're walking in the dead of night
When your soul is churning
Hope seems out of sight
Keep the candle burning
Just one steady heart in a world that's turning
Shine a light and pierce the dark
Keep the candle burning
Keep the candle burning
