IN CHRIST there is no condemnation and we have opportunity to live today and tomorrow in the Spirit, fulfilling God's will for us.

I hope it is okay to add this to this thread. I don't know if we are suppose to comment on threads that are teachings, but this one is close to my heart.

God taught me something last year about seeking him. We went to Central America to visit some pastors we meet here in the states. While we were there I was asked to speak to the women of one of the local churches...I was in a panic...I had never spoken in front of anyone before. I had no idea what I was suppose to do or talk on.

My husband, who has been a Christian longer than I have, encouraged me to try. I spent the afternoon looking at one thing I had heard being taught to the next thing. During the course of my looking over ideas I found the following versus.

Psalms 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple

Psalms 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

I was excited--in a way I had never felt before...I knew that I wanted to talk on these versus and what they meant to me...I told them that God showed me my desire as a Christian should be to seek his face...that it had to be a heart thing not a lip thing...I talked that day and I pulled all the versus he showed me after these two versus, but the meaning these words brought to me has changed my life, my walk, my desires, and my wantings in this life.
