CONFORM.

WE SHOULD STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE WORD CONFORM TO OUR IMAGE - TO OUR TRADITIONS.

WE SHOULD STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE LORD CONFORM TO OUR IMAGE.

WE SHOULD CONFORM TO HIS WORD FOR WE ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE.

WE SHOULD OBEY HIM AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE HIM OBEY US.

WE SHOULD STOP USING HIS WORD TO GET OUR OWN WAY - FOR HE IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE CLAY.

WE MUST DECREASE - THE TRADITION OF MAN MUST DECREASE - HE MUST INCREASE - WE MUST FOLLOW HIS WAYS - FOR HE IS LORD - HE IS KING - HE IS THE CREATOR - FOR HE IS THE I AM - HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR - FOR IT WAS BY HIS WORD THAT THIS WORLD CAME TO BE - THAT YOU CAME TO BE.

FOR HE IS THE WAY - HIS WORD IS TRUTH - HE IS THE LIFE - HIS WORD IS LIFE HUMBLE YOURSELVES BEFORE HIM - REPENT - AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP.

FOLLOW MY WAY SAYS THE LORD AND YOU WILL LIVE - FOR AS YOU DECREASE - DIE TO SELF - HE WILL INCREASE AND YOU WILL LIVE.

FOR HE WHO LOSES HIS LIFE FOR ME - WILL FIND LIFE ETERNAL SAYS THE LORD.

DAVE 13.4.99.
