Your bump was created by Him; you are hardly part of a trash heap. You and this earth (saved or unsaved) are His beautiful creation. Additionally, I think you are hardly mad. These sentiments conflict with your post. Don't address what you feel to be revelation as madness; it detracts from the message.<BR/>3. I heartily agree with your statement "If those don't produce real substantive change in us, then we haven't really received revelation, we have only gotten emotional." <BR/><BR/>Question: What does the CHANGE look like - and must it look like what WE think it should look like? Not knowing people as intimately as HE knows them, how can we be sure that our intepretation is the right one for them? (I'm not referring to the basics of one God in triune expression, Jesus as Lord and Savior, eternally lost w/o him, baptism, etc.)<BR/><BR/>Comment: People don't live every day in majestic and glorious spiritual realms; they live in the everyday practicialities of their lives. Question: How do you translate the majestic, glorious and spiritual - revelation - in such a manner that they can not only understand it, but APPLY it in THEIR daily-living practical realm? Without pracical application, we remain lost.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see you've begun blogging. Blog away, my friend; I'll be interested in what you have to say. I'm hoping you're wanting dialogue as well.<BR/><BR/>DaveDave Pingelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548560682848296773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116752239318204263.post-58942448562625229272008-11-02T17:54:00.000-08:002008-11-02T17:54:00.000-08:00I am so glad you decided to join the wonderful wor...I am so glad you decided to join the wonderful world of blogging and have no doubt you will set it ablaze with your musings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931298211678361253noreply@blogger.com
