Learning to Allow Jesus Christ to Live His Life Through Me so that I can Enjoy, in this life, those things that are meaningless in the next.

Last year I was golfing with my pastor. He was telling me about some Bible teaching he was learning from Charles Capps about the inner man. I made a comment about I wasn't convinced about the teaching. What I got in return was the silent treatment. The teaching is Christianized Napoleon Hill teaching. Subconscious mind stuff using the inner man(spirit) instead of the mind.

I have pretty much given a cold shoulder to this teaching and I hope he never asks what I think about it. This little fellowship I have been a part of for about 16 years. I am ready for it to end. I have grown tired of the b.s. that is associated with it. I wish the group would end.

What I wonder is, is the cold shoulder I got last year causing me to reject this teaching as just some stupid heresy that has been floating around the church since the heretic EW Kenyon came on the seen in the mid-20th century.

I have been learning about the indwelling life of Christ so my excitement is based upon the living Christ not what can I get out of Father. The self centered gospel that I hear today is sad. I want to experience a relationship with the Triune God and everyone else just want more junk to toss when they die.
