I appreciate Ruth tackling the difficult issues of dealing with one's own flesh. I am accepting her challenge of taking the following in prayer in my own life and writing the opposite. After the exercise which I can already sense will be convicting in a good way my world view will hopefully more align with Jesus. I am also planting the seed that these teachings and observations should be shared on Sunday at 11:15am on a live stream. John Bevere did not think he could write a 1 page paper in high school and now has 6M books sold. What could 1 message communicated do for people in the local community?
· have never experienced severe need or poverty
· hoard wealth and have trouble being generous to the poor
· refuse to forgive others, even when they repent
· focus on outward appearances and not the heart
· spend a lot of time and energy on self-promotion
· think we deserve the best seats and the highest positions
· live for the affirmation of men more than God
· look with scorn on menial tasks, refusing to do them

Thank you Robert. I feel your devotion to God and your desire to please him!
