PostSubject: Maybe I'm pushing things too hard?   Sat Jun 27, 2009 4:09 pm

trying to grow too fast? I just want to be able to be spiritually relaxed more often like you all. I really feel like I'm making a nuesence (spelling?) of myself with all these questions I ask. I feel like I can confide in you all best because most of you are way older than me and have been at it longer than me and you more less have the same point of view as me. Asking the pastor at my church is helpful but hes old enough to be my grandfather and is very old fashioned ( I dont mean that as an insult to him or anyone). I try very hard to keep in mind that the way to salvation is through Jesus and keeping his commandments and his commandments are to believe on him and accept him as your savior and love one another. I guess I still more often than not get caught up in other things that could or could not reflect that I am truthfully involved with Him.

ASK!! Then, compare the ideals in those answers to the Bible. You will learn and grow AND we will as well.

See, you bring up points some of us might not have considered or that we would not have asked, but wondered about. You are better asking and exploring than someone who's too cool to ask.

And, in answering you we must crystalize our points, focusing on the core of what we believe. Reading others' responses makes us think and reflect. Your questions help us as well.

Remember, the day you stop wondering, is the day you stop growing; it is the day you die.

Job 12:12-13
With the aged [you say] is wisdom, and with length of days comes understanding. But [only] with [God] are [perfect] wisdom and might; He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.
Amplified

Hosea 4:5-7
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
KJV

1. As far as the, "spiritually relaxed" is concerned......it takes time. Time. GOD is faithful, you have CHRIST, so just......persevere. Run the good race, keep your eyes and heart on the *finish line*.



2. Spelled *nuisance*





KISS .

I'm trying. I've learned a few things this weekend and I'm trying to keep them in mind. I remember reading something in 2 Corinthians (or 1st maybe) that was talking about man made rules to weaker believers. Kind of made me think of how churches are these days. Funny enough the sermon at my church tonight was about holding man made rules above what really matters to God. Which is obvious: Faith, Belief, Hope, Love, and Humbling

The best response in any situation

re: the bolded quote...

That phase can last for awhile. Keep in mind: growing in knowledge, having our conscience trained, our minds renewed; the whole process of sanctification takes time.

As relaxed as we may seem, you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes in our lives, our minds and hearts.

I've noticed that God keeps the challenges coming and even after 20 years, I find myself in places or with issues I couldn't have foreseen. I need to press into Him even more.

There is no place of arrival, lol BUT.. with time, experiencing God's magnificent grace, mercy, love and provison through the challenges, you will become more relaxed.
