Actually, do you go into your day consciously equipped? Do you make certain you have all the resources you need to do your day? Frivolous questions? Hardly! Assuming of course that your goal for the day is to be fruitful, fulfilled, and effective. Yes, I know… you don’t have time for all the prep work […]
Or maybe the question is what do you believe? What are those beliefs, standards, etc. that you stand unwaveringly upon, and what is your authority for these? Do your words and actions confirm this?

Misunderstandings? Scripture isn’t conflicted or confused… we are. We do the misunderstanding. I would argue that the reason, or at least a contributor, is that we apply secular definitions, interpretations, understanding to spiritual matters.

Have you ever noticed that when the Word gives a directive, it gives the ‘why’ at the same time? You don’t have to seek the reason – it always presents what happens when you do obey and when you don’t. We never read a ‘ because I said so’ comment, contrary to what we practice.
