Believing some of what is written in scripture can get you in trouble.
Start insisting that Christians should not eat shrimp. See where that gets you.
Start insisting that slaves must obey their masters. See where that gets you.
Start insisting that rebellious sons must be stoned at the city gate. See where that gets you.
Start insisting that we can come boldly before the throne of grace and that God is mandated to answer our prayers per our requests... See where that gets you.
Some well meaning Christians, in their desire to have a solid handle on the faith have claimed promises from the Bible that were never meant to be "forever it must be" statements.
It is time that we stop trying to make the faith into a formula. It is time that we stop trying to control God.
We are in no position to make demands of God. We are silly if we treat the Bible as a magic book. We are not in charge, God is in charge.
Relax. Pray. Fall into his loving arms. Rest in Him.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
