Ummm.... It's not Rebekah, it's Sarah, I've been reading Genesis for a couple of weeks now and I just read chapter 18 when the Lord visits Abraham and blesses Sarah saying that she'll have a son about the same time the next year. Then, in chapter 21, Sarah gives birth and Abraham names him Isaac.

Re: Excellence: an action or attitude?

Ben Simo — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:26:06 -0000

Both attitude and skill are important excellence.

Excellence starts as attitude. If there's no foundation in attitude and principle, there's no real excellence in action. Excellence in attitude spawns action. Sufficient skill is required to translate attitude into action. However, skill without attitude does not create excellence.

Aubrey...it's amazing to me how much our stories parallel each other. Learning to obey God one step at a time without knowing the entirety of "what's behind door #1" is unquestionably one of the biggest / most difficult lessons I've learned over the past 2 years. I fully believe that God uses these situations to build character, but even more so to see where your heart really is. Its okay to be nervous/scared/jittery, whatever you want to call it, but as long as you tell Him and then obey Him, He will use that to create better situations than you could ever imagine. Obeying Him, even when it doesn't make worldly sense, is, in my opinion, one of the truest forms of worship.
Wow...how's that for some early morning theology!

Great post man - honest, and sometimes honesty is hard. It is easy to live complacent. It is something else entirely to live on point - focused, driven, passionate. For me, I've found it's so many small steps. Some I've taken, some I know I need to take, but most I won't discover until a series of steps later.

This post was kind of my round about way of asking for help. I never really said it, but I need accountability with this.

This is a community. If you have any suggestions or thoughts that could help me out. share. even if you have some of your own struggles, share.

I'm honored to say I can't disagree with anything you said. In fact, I would only add that we are called to hold each other accountable to each other by the common faith we have declared to God via our confession, believing & receiving Jesus into our lives.

I think it's also fair to say that you didn't continue to smoke pot because you thought it was ok. You continued doing it knowing it was wrong but being unable or unwilling at the time to quit. I believe you are correct in the sense that God also knew you would need time (grace) to figure it all out. I find myself thanking God that I to may have that same time to figure it all out.

Thank you Tyler. I have a new insight to ponder on further. May God continue to bless you with wisdom and may she always be our best friend.

Yay iPhone indeed!

As for the gay example...yes its only an example...what does Romans 2:1-11 mean to you? How do you distinguish who get's God's wrath from who gets God's kindness in this case? As I read both Romans 1:18-31 and Romans 2:1-11 and understand it...everyone knows God since God has revealed Himself through creation, yet some do not acknowledge Him as the one true God. These people were given over to their sinful nature so that through their consequences of their decisions they will repent. Those of us who claim to live by the law cannot pass judgement against those who are not under the law, then we shall be judged as if we were under the law. When we take God's kindness for granted by accepting it for ourselves and yet condemning others for their sins, we are being unfair to them. If our hearts remain stubborn and we do not repent of this type of thinking (passing judgement) we are storing up wrath for ourselves.

We have to remember that while they may still live in a lifestyle of sin, they may not be ready to repent YET. By all means we are to flee from sin. But everyone breaks the law and sins in at least one area of their life. Our hearts (which Jeremiah calls "deceitful above all else") will constantly hide areas from God whether our minds want them to or not.

Take a real example from my life: I was a pot head. When I decided to try to follow God again, the desires didn't go away and I still smoked pot. Although it took years, eventually I was able to overcome this. While I was still struggling, was I still 'unsaved' (I hate to use that term)? Now, because I have overcome this struggle, I can help my friends who still smoke overcome their desires if they even want to overcome. It is that true desire to overcome that really determines their "salvation", which coincidentally can ONLY be known by God. That's why Jesus tells us that there are some who will say "I did this in your name" and yet they will be rejected, but yet some will wonder when they even clothed the naked Jesus and God will accept them.

That is why the 7 letters to the churches in Revelation 2 & 3 all end with "to those who overcome". 7 different churches with 7 different problems all with ONE path to receive blessing....for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:14, which coincidentally happens to be in the context of passing judgment on others). Our common goal as PEOPLE, not just christians, is to play the hand we are dealt and discard as much of the junk as possible. It's all about persevering to the end.

Robert,

My Internet connection is down at home so I can respond to you like I want to. However "Practical Atheism" is something pastor Craig Groeschel of Lifechurch.tv spoke about 2 weekends ago. You can find it @ http://live.lifechurch.tv

Aubrey's latest post was part of the sermon series.

Practical Atheism? Curious...

As a point of connection, there is a major debate on the blogosphere that started today between Heather MacDonald (former US Appeals Judge) and Edward Feser (a conservative, Christian philosopher that has just written an absolutely incredible book, called "The Last Superstition," against the current slew of atheistic declarations). While I am not sure what you even mean by "practical atheism" and am equally unclear where the topic is being discussed, I thought I would refer you to the one I am talking about in case they are of similar kind:

Feser links to all the relevant articles. A final reply by MacDonald is linked to in the middle of the comments.
