No More Posts
by Joseph Louthan
I just realized that so many of my posts were full of arrogance and pride. I never realized this until just this moment.
I am so sorry.
I am stopping all posts indefinitely.
John 12:49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

I thought it was a trick . . . I’m not sure what to say . . . Thank you. Arrogance and pride tend to follow us out of the grave and haunt us, tempt us. You are correct that it is a thing we choose on some level.
I have been moved towards the things of God by your thoughts. A “IALP” post have often hit me at just the right time to nudge me on the right path; confirmed a place where God was trying to pry my shell open; corrected a course that might have proved disastrous.
God’s grace & mercy & peace to you, brother!
Thank you!
I said “indefinitely” as in “let me go back to the Father and see how I can do this to glorify Him.”
It is always more him and less me.
It is all about Sola Dei Gloria.
I will return to writing for sure but in His time.
That is why John 12:49 is kicking my butt. If my Christ and Saviour could not do a thing or say a thing without the Father giving the thumbs up, then who am I to act or speak on my own.
wow Joe.
And I see that your posts following are all pretty much straight scripture.
If I could show you that post that was due to post instead of this, you would see how scary it was.
I am going to get back into the swing of writing… that much I promise. (I am getting too much encouragement from others not to.) But the moment, I just want to kick it with God.
