THE CRUX OF THE MATTER

The Crux of the Matter!!!!!

I really like to make things easy!!!
I really like to boil things down!!!
I really like to be simple!!!
Why??
Because I am a simple kind of guy!
WHAT REALLY IS THE PROBLEM???
Why is Jesus' prayer in John Chapter 17 not being answered?? At least not yet!
How has Satan really divided us into so many different denominations??
Some say 38,000 and some say just 38.
38 is bad enough...
38 is a long way from the number ONE!
If you understand what I am going to tell you, it doesn't matter if you are
Protestant... one of 38 or 38,000 different denominations...
Catholic.... Lapsed but baptised...
Catholic.....Regular church goer because your Mummy and Daddy always took you to church.
Catholic....I go to Church when I feel like it....OR...
What I call a Cardinal Newman Catholic....for want of a better example... Of course there are many.. He is however pretty topical as Pope Benedict the 16th just paid a very successful visit to the UK to Beatify this great Englishman...

It all boils down to the EUCHARIST..
Symbol???? or.. THE REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST who promised to never leave us nor forsake us??????..

Now presumably if given a choice, you would want to be in the very first Church.
Why??
Because Jesus personally set this up.
This Jesus Church went on in a unified and structured manner through much suffering and hardship with thousands of Martyrs.
These Martyrs included the majority of all the first 30 Church Leaders or Popes as we now call them.
These Martyrs were so successful that the Pagan Roman Empire eventually gave way to Christianity.

One more thing is very essential....
What is it???
One must have an enquiring mind...
One must have a seeking mind...
One must never be satisfied with the state of affairs as it is.
We either move forward to loving and knowing Jesus more and more each day or we gradually in a hardly noticeable way start to backslide.
I too cannot be satisfied with the little I understand so far in my late life...
There are Unfathomable Oceans to swim in and I am still paddling in the shallows...
That is a fact and that is why this Jesus and His Church and His Kingdom is so amazing
and fascinating and demanding...
That good old Protestant song which I love so dearly...
EVERY DAY WITH JESUS IS BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE...
If this is not true in your life....THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG...
You are shooting too low.
I am shooting for the skies and I still haven't reached the ceiling..

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT ALL NICELY WRAPPED UP AND BOILED DOWN TO THE EUCHARIST... REAL PRESENCE OR JUST A MEMORIAL MEAL??????????

I pray for you to make the right choice... It's getting late...Will soon be winter...It's getting darker every day....
Love to hear from you especially those who still love and appreciate me as I do ALL OF YOU...WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL 160 OF YOU...AND MORE....
