Currently reading: Total Truth Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity by Nancy Pearcey 📚

p.250

the key to restoring a unified concept of truth is to recover a robust concept of creation. Christianity has always taught that there is “a single reality” because it was created by a single omnipotent and all-wise God, explains one historical account. “Given this creation story, it followed that knowledge, too, comprised a single whole.” It was the doctrine of creation that undergirded confidence in the unity of truth. To be loyal to the great claims of our faith, we can no longer acquiesce in letting Christianity be shunted aside to the value sphere. We must throw off metaphysical timidity, be convinced that we have a winning case, and take the offensive. Armed with prayer and spiritual power, we need to ask God to show us where the battle is being fought today, and enlist under the Lordship and leadership of Christ

Finished reading: The Corrections: A Novel by Jonathan Franzen 📚. What am I to say about it?

We must pay close attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it, Hebrews 2:1 It is easier to drift away from godliness, than it is to drift towards it. Godliness requires discipline, focus, and intention. Each day is meant to be lived for the enjoyment of God, for the glory of God, and as a blessing to others. The salvation we have received is precious, and we should take heed so that we lose it not, but receive a full reward, 2 John v8

We are not to implicitly trust our conscience. Whenever our conscience condemns us (1 John 3:20), we must remind ourselves that God is greater than our conscience(heart), and he knows everything. Yet, it also follows that, when our conscience acquits us, God still is greater than our conscience, and still he knows everything. Once in a while, we might not feel assured of our righteousness (that righteousness that is not by works of the law, but rather by faith in Jesus Christ). In the event that our hearts/conscience condemns us, we can trust that God has accepted us. But we should also beware that just so, we might live in an imagined security that we have been accepted, when in fact God condemns us. Our assurance of faith, of righteousness, and of salvation doesn’t rise or fall with what our hearts tell us. Let us, instead, lean in on the Word of God, and let it be that which either acquits us, or condemns us.

Job 9:4 Who has hardened himself against God, and succeeded?

Do the right thing

Yes, sometimes life does consist of so much performances, but I have begun to feel it takes God’s intervention to push you beyond a performance into something quite beyond it, reality!

That Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is this good, and to think that I kept myself from it until now!

Oh my goodness! This so interesting.
