Jim,
My wife and I were very encouraged by this teaching. Your teaching confirms in us what we believe the Holy Spirit has already taught us, which I believe was part of what you were saying.

For the last few years or so I have been very encouraged by the shovel. I leave it open on the computer for my wife to stumble across. Today, she and I both listened to this teaching and this was the first time she told me that this website has been a big encouragement to her.

She also said that she has seen a big change in my life since I have started reading the shovel.

Thanks again!!!

The oddest thing about this real life in Jesus is, I used to strive so hard to be more than I could be and I don't have to strive anymore!! Striving is very weakening.

Yes, what a freedom! All striving does is to make it appear that something is really happening.

How encouraging to hear this from you guys tonight :) Sometimes I think I'm the only one who rebelliously clings to the idea that my faith is only by the befuddling case that God has put it in me to believe. Crazy. It's an audacious thing to believe from the secular view ("why are YOU so special" - which I can understand) and also audacious from most churches' point of view ("you also have to show your faith by repenting, doing good works, and practicing 'holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord'"). But this simple idea - that it's God's revealing - is what I've come to think that true faith is - and only can be. So, there's no feeling intimidated and no boasting this. There's no being less if you don't get it right, and no being more if you do. But sometimes there's the satisfaction and comfort of hearing the truth - and knowing that you just heard it. Love to you both.

Mikey,

Thanks so much for jumping in with such a confirming testimony. Yes, Christ, and his life, is found in simplicity! :)
