ah, but this IS MY soapbox afterall, so if you choose to visit here, you will be subject to my dictates. I am going up, which indeed will put me on a higher plane than those who choose to live lower. But alas, this is only relevant to the ones, like I have said before, who WANT to live higher, who WANT to go to heaven. The Bible says "there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov 14:12). I am seeking higher ground spiritually, but in the natural sense, I am no better than any other man who dwells on this earthly plane. I am subject to the same temptations that are common to all. What separates me first and foremost is a willingness to go up higher. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63).
All men are given the right to choose for themselves. I am not forcing anything on anyone. I am merely sharing what I have found to be true from the life giving Word. Abiding in it is what makes the common man uncommon. Life is more than what we can see and feel. There is so much more and always, always, always, there is higher ground to move towards spiritually. One day I will experience the ultimate high when my body no longer can contain my spirit. I will shed this earth suit and go to be with my LORD. Until then, I will be here to prod, to coax, to challenge, to encourage the pilgrims along this pathway to higher ground!
