Nearly everyone I know is focused on convincing me to repudiate something that I know is true and authentic revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and exalts Him as the Only God and Creator of all things that are made.
I do not want to repudiate anything that says Jesus is the supreme Lord most high.
I do not want to repudiate anything that exalts Him and the Gospel of Grace, repentance unto Life and the finished work of the Lord to take away all sin.
I want to release all cares about what it costs me.
I want to be unconcerned with what is said about me.
I want not to care who is turned against me even though it hurts.
I certainly don't care who wrote that which exalts the Lord Jesus ... or how dark (or otherwise) their background is. That doesn't even factor into the equation. I don't care to even discuss it nor focus on that. I don't want to judge any man worthy or otherwise. I do not want to cheer nor applaud any man, nor do I want to curse or jeer any man.
Let me repeat: I don't want to repudiate anything that says that Jesus is the Lord.
If the worst person on earth wrote Jesus is the supreme Lord most high, I would still not want to repudiate it.
Come what may, but still I do not want to forsake the Lord.
I do not want to repudiate anything that I know exalts Jesus as the supreme Lord most high!
Find something that diminishes Jesus or calls Him accursed, and I don't want to ever knowingly extol it ... I want to repudiate that which I know diminished the Lord Jesus and I don't imagine that you will be able to stop me nor convince me otherwise.
I mean no harm to anybody in this. My wants may offend and anger those I love, but I don't want that either .. .it is only that I want never to deny the Lord at a much higher level and greater desire than I want not to offend those that are offended by this. Please don't take it personal when I say that Jesus comes before you. I want to put you before me, but Jesus before you.
If you pray for me ... please, pray for exactly that: that I put you before me, but Jesus before you.
Still ripening into what I want to be,
Trent
