I'm going to try to come. I might be a little late but I want to be there! If it will help me ungodly and thankful I will BE THERE, sister! I am still picking my mouth up off the floor from chapter 7...gotta get my GOD all the way in my life!!!
Um clearly that should say LESS ungodly and MORE thankful. What a spaz. Sorry y'all.
Congrats on the webcast!
I plan to be there. I also plan to have read past chapter 6! I really could just stop here and be sastified. I reread 4-6 this weekend and have some more thoughts to share:
Pg. 34 "All of us are still practicing sinners." What if I said I had been converted from Buddhism to Christianity, but was still practicing Buddhism by lighting incense, spinning prayer wheels, meditating on being desire-less? What if I said I was freed from alcohol but was still a practicing alcoholic and getting drunk every day? This is exactly the same thing I'm doing when I say I've been freed from sin but am still a practicing sinner!! YIKES!
pg 48 "Regardless of how much we grown...we never get beyond our constant need of...the Holy Spirit." To me, growing means realizing my dependence more and more on the HS. I don't equate maturity with separation/independence as we do with our children. For me, spiritual growth means being closer and more dependent.
Re. this whole thing about being responsible for our sins but unable to carry out our responsibility: it is the greatest struggle of my faith that God has not given me the degree of desire for Him that I want. Does that make sense? I want to want Him more than I do. I want to want to depend on the enabling power of the Holy Spirit more than I do. I don’t want to spend time praying, but I wish I did. Sometimes I think I can just sit back and say "Well God didn't give me the desire/faith for that, so He can't expect me to do it." But I know that's sin itself, so I pray for more desire, study for more desire, act for more desire. And I know that if God hadn't saved me I wouldn't even have the little bit of desire that I do have, or the want to want more, so I trust that He will judge me accordingly.
Blessings, see you Friday.
It is a wonder that I am off work Friday. But, is it really when this discussion will be so important. I plan to be at Starbucks and look forward to seeing and hearing you again.
Oh, I am just sick that I have to work. Normally, I am off on Fridays, but we are short handed. Anyway, I am enjoying the discussion online. I know it will be a blessing to all.
