Joel must stroke these people in other ways they find beneficial or else they wouldn't keep coming back. <br /><br />He's simply a motivational speaker.belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329443602922337980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-30298688084471127512010-08-23T21:47:18.362-07:002010-08-23T21:47:18.362-07:00I don't know what we're doin' wrong......I don't know what we're doin' wrong...we're thousands of dollars in debt due to friggin' insurance payments (bastards!)...<br />We pray every day for financial help; and then this.<br />I'd eat dirt (or dog food...well. maybe not!) before I became one of these "clones".<br />Idiots!Fr.

I would say far too few.belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329443602922337980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-18998918353284150822010-08-23T14:31:45.380-07:002010-08-23T14:31:45.380-07:00didn't Jesus tell St Teresa that he allows suf...didn't Jesus tell St Teresa that he allows suffering for his friends, she then told him that she wasn't supprised that he had so few friends.Just another mad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-70859974977969861672010-08-23T13:47:41.018-07:002010-08-23T13:47:41.018-07:00"I can't stand this man.

I watched a sermon he had last week.."</i><br /><br />I tried watching him and he's irritated me too.<br /> <br /><i>"Jesus is willing to let you or I suffer so we can draw closer to him and learn to depend upon him alone."</i><br /><br />Yes actually I started suffering when I first was drawn closer to him.<br />This reminds me, Fr. Corapi during a recent EWTN rerun mentioned this phenomena - how Jesus brings suffering to those he's closest to. Which makes people say sometimes, according to Father, "I wish he wouldn't be so chummy."

I watched a sermon he ...I can't stand this man. I watched a sermon he had last week and after an hour he mentioned Jesus in passing in the very last two sentences.. I hate the gospel of the feel good christian, it's a lie.<br />******<br />Tell me Vince, does Jesus always make you feel good? He makes me do stuff I don't wanna do. Sometimes I don't feel so good and yet Jesus is okay with that. (funny but true)<br />Jesus is willing to let you or I suffer so we can draw closer to him and learn to depend upon him alone.<br /><br /> How would you feel if you were married or had a deep bond with another person yet they felt your relationship with them was only based upon what YOU could do for them or worse yet, if you didn't make them feel good - (most all of the time) or else they would head for the door and abandon you. <br /><br /><br />We must pray always that the Holy <br />Spirit protects us from Satans deceptive lies. There are snares everywhere.belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329443602922337980noreply@blogger.com
