I have noted over the years, that some love God with their whole being, and others seem to handle the things of God with what can only be described as a fear that they are playing with a fire that might get out of control, if it isn't "properly handled." There is a great need for professed believers to quit "properly handling" their faith, and let their faith handle them. And by saying that, I am in no way advocating checking your brain at the door, to get some holy experience.
In the same way the nonbeliever has to reconcile the fact that Christ is the Son of the only God, and that He gave His life to pay for everything they did, do and will do wrong; they have to make a decision. In light of that fact, I either have to go with Christ or go against Him, but I can not remain neutral. The problem exists for those who haven't turned their lives over to God; I have accepted Christ as my Savior, but I can not yield control of my life to Him, why? I'll tell you why: it will mean that business as usual is over.
If you think that surrendering your life to Christ means that you go into some sort of long term brain numbness, you couldn't be more wrong! Do I, then, understand everything: no I don't, in fact there are a great many things I do not understand. But what I do understand, is that my faith requires study and reading and many other things that require my intellect to be at its best. Now, in great harmony with that, there are the things God does, that I indeed, cannot understand. I must study to show my self a workman who needs not be ashamed, and at the same time I must not quench the Spirit of God when He moves in ways that I do not understand. That is where faith comes in, that is where faith changes me, that is where business as usual bows to my God and King.
More tomorrow loved ones.
