Hey Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I was listening to one of Tom\u2019s songs, “It’s Called Love”. Sister Willie is on there talking about Philistines clogging up your well with rocks.\u00a0 She said you have to remove those rocks and let your water flow.\u00a0 With that, remembering back a few meetings ago, you were talking about giving your testimony or God could take them away.\u00a0 Well, that sounds a lot like stopping up your well.\u00a0 I don’t want any more rocks in my well!<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been talking with a guy who works with me about the Lord, telling him my testimony and that we believe in the holy ghost and speaking in tongues.\u00a0 He says he believes too, but thinks you have to be baptized in water too. I used God’s time line from before Jesus and after to try to explain how Jesus fulfilled the law, which he could not really get.\u00a0 He just goes by what they tell him.\u00a0 When I heard you talk last Saturday about ceremony, I remembered that he and I have talked, and he has told me about communion were he goes. He was telling me that he can’t take the communion because he’s not married to the woman he is living with.\u00a0 They have been together for 12 years and have kids together. It’s good that they’re telling him he needs to get right, but what I am seeing is like Christianity is twisting it, using his guilty conscience to make him do what it wants, which is to deceptive, almost like Tom Sawyer: “You really are missing out if you don’t paint the fence!\u00a0 I might let you paint if you’re good.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I just want to thank Jesus for how good he has been to me, and the mercy he has show me.\u00a0 Don’t ever want to take it for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well got to go.<\/span><\/p>\n
