Hello, My ECP Family and whoever else finds this message. Today's message will be a continuation of dealing with "Capturing Life's Goodness" identified as series #12. This series in general has been lifted meaning that the Spirit of God has released me from a specific emphasis on illustrating to you all "to see the goodness in circumstances in these last challenging days". Intentionally, there has been exampled circumstances (in our previous series) that potentially distracts from goodness due to legitimate unfavorable in the circumstances. Unfavorable circumstances that honestly occur while simultaneously honest goodness being discovered amongst the unfavorable occurring. Favorable and not so favorable truly existing in combination of you having free will equaling your decision to believe or not believe being strictly due to your personal choice. You can't honestly say that you choose good because bad doesn't exist to be chosen or you can't say you choose bad because good doesn't exist to be chosen. No, both existing plus your power of free will equals your whatever (unfavorable or favorable being your whatever) is a result of your choice.
To finish this "Capturing Life's Goodness" Series before we move on next week to something different, I want to finish this series with a bang involving another issue that is legitimately unfavorable in these last days but the unfavorable can't be used as an excuse that good doesn't exist. This particular issue has a bang effect so effective that it successfully has ran some from the faith being that it so legitimately unfavorable. What am I talking about? Supposed examples - specifically preachers who illustrate the responsibility of spiritual care for others through actually preaching pure-undefiled doctrines but do it (preaching) for unpure-defiled purposes. Making no excuses, defiled intents are legitimately unfavorable but this unfavorable does not change the truth in messages that are spoken. In other words, when motives are incorrect in the midst of doctrines being correct, there has to remain a connection-adherence to the true principle that the message represents even when the preacher's intentions-motives are incorrect. When this happens, this is one of the toughest times to convince or remain convinced to stick with the faith, believe the faith is still good, and the faith still offers an abundant life in the midst of being surrounded with legitimate ill purposes in the faith. The Apostle Paul did not promote or agree with preacher's incorrect motives but he still believed in sticking with the faith, the faith still being good, and the faith offering an abundant life in the midst of some preachers possessing incorrect purposes-motives-intentions.
So, my ECP family and whoever else finds this message, I leave you with this for the end of this week: "I prayed to God that I handled this series in a manner pleasing to him and effective for you". Why? Because God wants you to know that irrelevant of these last days possessing fulfilled prophecy that's legitimately unfavorable, there is still honestly good in these last days and you can speak and believe it's good because God justifies you saying and believing it's good. ~ Charles L.

"It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The later do so out of love, knowing I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing they can stir up trouble while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice" Philippians 1:15-18
