lets go back for a second

to my comment about the idea that it is errant to think that Christians or even those in His service are immune to tragedy.

So I have tossed my core beliefs aside. I have to go back to what I know for sure and not what I believe. I have to get a new set of Lego's if you will to build my faith with.

So WHAT can I say IS true about God and my faith? What was promised... and not just in general b/c the Israelites got promises that I don't get (ok... here is a light into Jon's mind - I have some dispensationalist in me)

(I call my spiritual building blocks legos)

Lego 1: The promised Holy Spirit is the garuntee of our salvation.
Lego 2: When we tithe God pours out material blessings on us.

It's all I got right now, but it's a start.
