Musings
Just a collection of some crystallised musings over the past few months...
Why do we have more faith in Adam's act of disobedience to give us a sinful nature than in Jesus' act of obedience to give us a righteous nature? Is Adam more powerful and effective than Jesus?
Healing is supposed to be the children's bread! Not occasional dessert. (Not sure if this came from Bill Johnson's book... )
Is satan's ability to propagate lies greater than God's ability to reveal truth? Let's not react to lies in fear, but respond to truth in love. How many times is the commandment "do not be deceived" found in the Bible? Conversely, how many more times is the commandment "do not fear" found in the Bible?
He who fears is a...lready deceived.
If you don't freely receive, you can't freely give. If you think you did something to earn what you receive, you'll expect something from those to whom you give. (And I suppose “earning” can take the form of “feeling bad”, being PROFUSELY thankful, being unusually nice, etc…)
If truth is a Person, then He is known primarily not with the head, but with the heart.
To be practical is to practise what you believe. It follows that a Christian's practicality should look very different from that of others. Jesus was the most practical man on earth - He multiplied food and walked on water.
