I want to ask God not to be angry with me, but to help me in my weakness, to help me win the struggle against my own sin nature. The end reminds me that God does hear me when I weep over my sin, that He does extend mercy in response to my cry for help. I can almost imagine my sinful inclinations turning (in shame and dismay), to run back to the corners of my soul in disgrace - defeated once again by God's mercy.

(See the middle timeline above). But they didn't have the resources of Solomon: when they finished the temple it was so plain that those who remembered what had been there before wept!

And if so did it ever get rebuilt? Thank you! Question: When Nehemiah returned to Jerulsalm to rebuild the walls was the temple in ruins as well? And if so did it ever get rebuilt?

]]> Comment on What is Our Church’s Love Language by Karla http://trinityfellowship.net/sabbatiblog/?p=831&cpage=1#comment-11418 Karla Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:40:46 +0000 http://trinityfellowship.net/sabbatiblog/?p=831#comment-11418 I think we most often express love at Trinity through faithful acts of service: quiet, dependable giving of ourselves to the needed ministries. This makes for a smooth functioning church for the most part, but I think that overall when people have a need for encouragement or just fellowship that it is lacking. The small group emphasis we are trying to develop is a step toward widening our ability to relate to one another in ways that meet many needs. Those with the love languages of touch, words or quality time might feel less cared for many times. Again, healthy small groups can help us to better strengthen one another and help others to feel valued.
