"If I say to you, Why did Jesus came into the world? You'd say to me, He came into the world to save sinners. That's not what Jesus said. What did Jesus say? In the 17th Chapter of the Gospel of John, the Most amazing chapter maybe in the bible, what did it say? It says that they may know Thee the only true God. ... He didn't come to make bad man good, he came to make dead men live! Unless men are born again, they go back to the same thing" "Someone quoted it the other day... 'Oh well, we're only human' What do you mean, You're re deemed and you're only human? If you're really in the Spirit, according to Romans 8, You have the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of God, and the Holy Spirit. How can you have a 3-fold filling of God and be human merely?! Human? ... Your pastor backs you off, you know why? Because of that word, 'You're only human.' That covers your failure, it covers your weakness, it covers your disobedience. You may think everyone else are failures, so it doesn't matter! Forget it! Tell your pastor to get a shot from heaven. I'm sick to death of people limping around...I want God to touch my will, my mind, my heart, my vision. I don't want to live like other guys!"
Man... Wish I had friends like that in high school. Though, one thing he said, I think he was just getting excited over: If there's something wrong with your pastor, pray for him. He's anointed by the Lord to lead the flock, and don't cut him up - pray for him and have the Captain of our Salvation lead him out. That's the shot from heaven... -- Leonard Ravenhill. I love this man...
