And evangelical Christians are my
family. "Whoever loses his life for my sake
and the truth's sake will save it" Luke 14:26 (New International Version)

After the humiliation the real reason for being caught in this net will appear
Quote:
There is no greater love except a man lay down his life for a new life in the
Spirit. First there will be bitter struggles in families and misunderstandings
and stumbling to find YOU, my life. But if a man loves his children he
will hate them for the truth's sake and go and find the spirit in his own
loneliness and humiliation that "through the Spirit" they (his
children) might be saved. "For You are able, my life" They will hate
him, not knowing the true intentions of his heart. If a man does not
love his children enough to leave that he might find the Spirit than he
does not deserve to enter into the kingdom.

disciple.

The humiliation of understanding the least on this planet is to be
changed and be seen as a criminal, an outcast, rejected by society placed in
the group of theives. Then You find that the world that judged You does not
know the "intentions of the heart" of the least of them. This is the
path to knowing the heart of God.
