Yes I use it now and then, mostly when the person post the Lord Word to back up their response. However, I also at times have a problem with it, for I see that it could be used as a precursor to taking on a sense of pride in self. The first sin if I recall right, from a fallen angle....

Isa 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

Isa 14:13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

As I read the Lords Word, it is clear the very first sin was that of Pride, not by man but by an angle.....

I had this in mind when I asked the question. Pride is horrible. We have a perfect weapon against it though and that is the truth of the Word of God. We know that knowledge puffs up but Paul understood that of himself he knew nothing. And so we admit the same likewise. Jesus told us to say we are unprofitable servants when we do that which we are supposed to and so we do.

I wrote a book and was faced with a man who wanted me to sign it. I told him no. He was very persistent and wouldn't leave me alone about it. I prayed to the Lord to guide me in dealing with the man. Pride scares me and anything smacking of pride I try to run from quickly as I have previously been chastened for it. The answer I ended up with was the words I wrote in the book for him. "From one unprofitable servant to another, I hope these words based upon what God has given me do you some good".

Good stuff Dennis,

ha, didnt even know there was one, least not on the topics. I wouldnt have anyway, I see no reason to rate topics. I knew there was one on peoples profiles-and I occasionally just hit ya five stars on there, sometimes cuz i think that persons cool sometimes just cuz but mostly its a button to hit lol. But no, rating topics is more of a waste of time and a popularity contest to me.

I have mixed feelings on this. When someone does His work in love, and the Spirit moves me, I will give them credit. Yet, I see many times when others will give everyone a point, even those who are so far off base their post gets deleted. It can be both a blessing and a curse, abused and honored.
