We know now it is Christ and Christ alone who has brought us this far and given us this freedom. We will not go back again to the endless drudgery of head knowledge, sense knowledge and other lifeless death creating stuff. We know that filling our heads with the Word is not making us grow. We know that it is only in spending time WITH CHRIST, IN CHRIST, BY CHRIST, FOR CHRIST AND THROUGH CHRIST, and CHRIST alone we are changed. WE GROW. The MILK of God has set us free and we are free indeed.

Free to be who we really are to be who God says we are. Not who we think we are, but who God says we are. Not who we think we are, but who God says we are. Not who we have been, but who we shall be IN HIM.

Just get these truths and soak yourself in them. Give yourself wholly to them. Don't let anyone take them away or tell you they've got something better. What is better then Jesus Christ. Walk in Him as you have received of Him. Believe that these things are true, they are. Let God Himself breath these things into your inmost being, reforming you, reshaping you into the very image of Christ Himself, growing, glorying in your Lord. Ever living focused on Him and IN HIM. How quiet now it gets when the Father starts to talk to us and tell us things.

You know He's here, right here and talking to you. He wants you to know how much HE desires for you to really know Him. To invest as much of yourself as He did for you. So that in all things and at all times you will abound in every good work to the praise of the glory of His magnificent Grace. It's that still small voice we listen to, that quiet radiance of the Master, as He speaks stillness and peace to our souls. That ever living Love Language to our hearts, leading us and guiding us into all the truth, as it is IN CHRIST JESUS. Enjoy this; let it become the very call of your total being. Enwrapped into Him, in complete union with the Lord of Glory, walking with Him side by side, becoming veritable God demonstrators to a lost and forlorn world. Come now, Brethren let us reason together, and taste and see that the Lord is good and examine these things for their pertinent reality of spirit. It is in the spirit that we find these things and all of these things to be true. Never shaken, never moved always there crying out to us to come and enjoy. Let us enter into that Promised Land flowing with Milk and Honey, let us walk together in the "Garden of God", where He reigns and we in Him. It is really what we all have been and are searching for.

His love leading us, coaxing us out into the depths of His own being, so that we may be consumed by the fire of His compassion for us. That is the true Christian life. That is the real Christian life, engulfed IN HIM.

What?

Who said that?

O.K. now, where are you? Yeah, you. You, know who I am talking to. You, the guy with the "balance" thing. Yes, there you are.

What do you mean to ask a question like that in the middle of that last statement?

Did you just ask: "Where is the "balance"?" Come on, you're kidding, right?

"Where is the "balance"? You know you have to have "balance" in your teaching; you don't want to get all lopsided and focus too much on any one thing."

"These things are nice and do play a part of the Christian life, but, they certainly are not everything?"

"What about faith, love, forgiveness, mercy, the Holy Spirit, baptism etc.?"

Man, can you guys believe that he could say that after all this time? Hard to believe? Yeah I know. Balance you say? You want balance? O.K., here is your balance...
