May I have your attention for a few words? Perhaps more than a few.
I have been reading a really good book this morning. Perhaps more on that later. I opened my Facebook account to share a picture of the book cover and to comment on my enjoyment in just the first 50 pages. When the pic loaded I noticed a notice from Facebook. Oddly, I’m not angry. I am saddened and I am alerted afresh and I think you should be too. Alerted to prayer. Alerted to seek The LORD. To seek HIM for how HE wants us to navigate these hostile waters which are swiftly rising. And y’all I don’t know how to swim.
Facebook Community labeled my post hate speech. My post was a Scripture Pic that I made with my YouVersion App this morning from Galatians 3:1. I added my own caption as well: O foolish Americans, who has bewitched you about FAITH and Fear and law and SPIRIT and GOOD and evil?
Upon review, Facebook has determined despite my objection that it is hate speech and they will not allow it to be seen on my Facebook feed.Â
So, I decided to bring it to you here at The White Stone in hopes I might be able to alert you and encourage you to take even more seriously your study of Scripture; to love it, to hold it dear, and share it with others. You know and I know that Father’s Word is not hate speech but obviously others do not. Let’s help them!
Chapter 1. Quick points. From his SAVING Damascus Road encounter with YESHUA he went to Arabia for training; not from man but The Spirit of GOD Himself trained and taught Saul\Paul. Three (3) years he stayed in Arabia learning, listening, waiting. Then he returned to Damascus for a time. We are not told how long.
From Damascus, he went to Jerusalem to see Peter. He spent 15 days with Peter. He also saw James, the LORD’s half brother – same Mother, not the same Father. YESHUA knows about blended families. :)
From there he went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. The Churches of Judea in Christ there had heard of Saul, they didn’t know him by face, only his former reputation. A fierce persecutor of Christians, The Way. BUT. They gave him a chance. They waited. They listened. They watched. And they glorified God in him. How great is that?!
If you would care to read Galatians 1, here’s a LINK.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. There are over 3,500 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
this morning from Galatians 3:1.
