I, Me, and My

‘Mid-Acts-ers’ often focus on ‘who I am in Christ’ .... ‘what being in Christ did for ME’ .... and ‘MY identity in Christ’. Though we certainly need to understand these things, it seems that ‘mid-Acts-ers’ are concentrating their attention selfishly on themselves (or on PAUL, the least of the apostles, as 1 Cor 15:9), instead of giving Christ the first place. Our emphasis ought to be on HIM:

Col 1:16-18 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he (CHRIST .... not I, not Paul) might have the preeminence.

Even John the Baptist testified to the same:

John 3:30-31 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

Have you ever noticed how many times a person says, "I, me, or my" in public speaking?

This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"

‘Mid-Acts-ers’ recently had a conference with 3 seminars about "Why I am Not a ...." (this, that, or the other, of different doctrinal sects). It gave me the idea to make a presentation for next Sunday’s message about why ‘Mid-Acts-Hyper-Dispensationalists’ are wrong.
