SonofthunderWell I am pretty sure my brother-in-law (Farai- IRONMAN) is John, so you must be the other Son of thunder…Welcome aboard! You know, its strange, I can almost hear your Australian accent through the posts. We could certainly use some more fire here, but er….you “sons of thunder” usually need some gentle reminding of “THE COMMUNITY RULES” ;-)Bless you BrotherJames

I thought Jesus called them 'sons of thunder' because they didn't understand the power of Christ's ministry as oppossed to the ministry of Elijah. I could be wrong but as a disciple of Christ and a worshipper in Spirit I like to know how I should represent the Gospel. If I'm sharing the Word the power isn't mine anyway, right? I just plant seeds and God gives the increase. But I better be very aware of the foundation lest I fall into reproach because I misrepresented the Word of God. Just sharing a thought not making an attack.Rich
