This is my 200 post since starting my blog in early February. Out of nostalgia, I began to ponder, “where are these topics coming from?” Are these words simply coming from deep inside of me? Is my mind reacting to God’s still small voice, whispering thoughts which eventually take the shape of 3 paragraphs? Or have the last 7 months been a waste of time, allowing Satan to distract me from securing a full time position?
Skeptics claim that God no longer talks directly to people anymore, gone with the days of the Old Testament. Reformed theologians believe the supernatural period ended after the apostle Paul’s life. Thereby, limiting the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 today as well as preventing Christians from experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit displayed in Acts. Meanwhile, atheists and agnostics proclaim that God is dead which explains the decay of the public education system since God, the Bible and prayer were removed, kicked to the curb in the 1960’s.
I will never know for sure until heaven exactly where my topics come from, but I am certain of one thing. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, Hebrews 13:8. People change, theology which means the science of God fluctuates , yet God remains the same. Therefore, as I attempt to keep in step with the Holy Spirit daily, I believe it is possible to hear God’s still small voice, 1 Kings 19:12-13. Other ideas ooze from within my soul and several other topics I have neglected because I don’t think my audience is quite ready for now.
Anyway, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to read my blog! I will press on to reach 365 posts and onward if the Lord continues to put topics on my heart, Philippians 3:12-14. Have a blessed day in the Lord, Psalm 118:24.
