(Don't get me wrong, I love the state of Iowa) I had very little Christian fellowship in Ames, so I would work at the lumber yard, go to school at Iowa State and stay in the Presence of God. I quit going to church regularly in 1991. <br /><br />When I got my degree in 1995, I thought I was free to go, but the Lord kept me there till February of 2001. From 1996 till 2001 I worked for a construction company off and on (I think they hired me ten times) and I would hitchhike in between the construction work.<br /><br />The Lord kept me in Ames for a reason and now He has me on the road for a reason. Not my will, but thine be done.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-24880027513598059772011-01-13T10:36:54.754-07:002011-01-13T10:36:54.754-07:00I have met a lot of people who thought they were s...I have met a lot of people who thought they were saved, but I couldn't tell. They thought they were saved because they went to church on Sunday. One guy thought he was saved because he was born in the United States. <br /><br />Some people are into works idolatry or works adultery. They appear to be something "good", but they are not in Christ, so there works are selfish--not good, not of God.<br /><br />Some people think they are saved because they memorize Bible verses. I call it Bible Verse Idolatry. "They thought they had eternal life because they knew the Scriptures."<br /><br />What will these people do when Jesus says, "Get away from me you who work iniquity; I never knew you."<br /><br />Do we know Jesus? Do we abide in Christ? Do we obey the Lord?Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.com
